I only had it on for about half an hour, so I didn't really get to try it that much. But it was quite fun. On a crop sensor like mine, it will get you CLOSE! I would say I was something like 10-12 meters from the blackbird, and the image is not that cropped. The fast shutter speed needed, fixed aperture and weird bokeh rings set their limitations. I'm in no way used to focusing with a lens like this, but I was actually surprised how manageable that was.
But then again, for the price these lenses go for, I would be tempted to get one of my own along the road :)

I've seen cheap brands as far down as 1000-1200 kr new. I don't know how big a difference it makes quality vice to buy the bigger brands' models, but I think I'd go for a used Tamron which goes for about the same on dba :)

Hey btw, I am coming to Aarhus this Sunday - if it's not raining I got 3 shoots but if it does rain, I think at least 2 will get cancelled, do you wanna go shoot something then?

Sure thing. That sounds fun :)
According to how bad the weather is, we can figure out where to shoot. I haven't really spend too much time in town, so I'm game :)

Day 129
Each year a regatta is held on the small lake on campus at my university. The concept started 15 years ago an revolves around a relay race involving roving over the lake, downing a bear, put the bottle on the ground turning around it 10 times and returning over the lake. This is the social event of the year on the university and attracts between 20-30.000 people. My wife and I went this year with Dagmar in a tram, which made it pretty hard for me to get a good picture. I got this though to give an impression of the amount of people DSC_4879 by jonas_sandager, on Flickr

To be sure that I had something to post for the day, I also took this when we got home :)

Hahaha. Downing a BEER. You know, drinking it as fast as possible :) Although I'm sure it would make for quite a spectacle if they were to wrestle bears :D

I'll send you my number in a pm, so you can message me instead. Just in case I'm not around a computer ;)
