[QUOTE="eurotrash, post: 71004, member: 9237"] I got my 16-85 today! I was real happy until I started unboxing it. Seems like the glass has some kind of minor surface defect. It appears "smudged" and somehow scratched. Here's a poor quality video of it, I am not certain you'll be able to see it well. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOCLbKWzWlA&feature=youtu.be[/url] Other than that, it functions as normal I suppose, however I am not seeing the sharpness and colour that I was expecting the glass to give me. Hm. I'll go shoot tomorrow during the daylight and see what it's like, today I was shooting about an hour and a half before dusk, perhaps that had something to do with it? Here's a shot of it at around 6 something in the evening. Obviously worked on it, not a raw file. Unimpressed with how much I desired to sharpen and add more saturation to it in post.. Here is the RAW file, no editing (save cropping to give similar results) [URL="http://www.flickr.com/photos/stupidphotoguy/7799022630/"][IMG]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8308/7799022630_6ae800cce1.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL="http://www.flickr.com/photos/stupidphotoguy/7799022630/"]grass kitty RAW[/URL] by [URL="http://www.flickr.com/people/stupidphotoguy/"]stupidphotoguy[/URL], on Flickr And here is the edited version, which I would like to see as closely out of the camera as possible with regard to colour rendition.
