Finally had a chance to get out and try my new (or rather, OLD), Kiron 70-150 f/4. This is made by Kino Precision Industries, and is, AFAIK, merely a rebranded Nikon Series E 75-150 f/3.8. Full-size samples are available here: 150mm.zip :: Free File Hosting - File Dropper: File Host...

Got a call from a photo-nut friend who wanted to go out and shoot the downtown area at night. Since I was bored stiff, I agreed to meet him. So, armed with nothing but a D600 and an old-school 28-200/3.5-5.6 AF-D lens , I set out to see what I could find. No vibration-reduction lens, no...
