Re: Nifty Fifty versus 28-70mm L series
Silver,
It is because of that strange artefact that i am doing the pics again in natural light tomorrow but they were both taken at exactly the same time without ever moving the camera, the subject or the lighting.
There is nothing strange going on that the zoom is sharper than the prime because of the quality of the optics. The L series is massively more expensive optics so despite being a zoom is still extremely sharp.
The mid-range zoom NOW is the 24-70mm but that is an upgrade from the original 28-70mm lens. You surely don't think I am going to sell mine and buy the new one, losing a couple of hundred quid in the process, just to gain an extra 4mm? I already have the 17-40mm l series so the wide end is covered with that lens.
We'll have another look at the sharpness and resolving power tomorrow with brightly lit outdoor shots.
Cheers,
Rob
