A few more shots from the Northern Cascade mountains of Washington State with the Sony A7s and the Sony FE 24-240.
Ebookman,
I continue to be amazed by the quality of your shots with the 24-240. First congrats to the photographer for such beautiful images! Would you care sharing a critical evaluation of the lens; shortcomings, weaknesses, limits, etc. From what I\'ve seen from your cruise, and now back home, there appears to be very few! Thanks.
Marc
Marc, Thanks for your kind words. The FE 24-240 plays to my style which I usually call \"pretty picture, postcard style.\" I tend to shoot with great depth of field and a fast shutter because I hate tripods. I deal with ISO/grain issues, if any, in Lightroom. I am seldom concerned with the out of focus image bokeh. That is the greatest shortcoming of the lens. The bokeh I think is to harsh. It is a compromise in any regard for all the benefits. At the 240mm end the open aperture is f/6.3, not exactly an f/1.4 bokeh monster! The lens on the whole is amazing and appears better than the reviews. I have not been impressed with the image quality in the reviews. Either I have the best copy of the lens ever made or I have learned a lot about post processing from this forum. I have, with special thanks to FM\'er Phillip Reeve. --Dale
