Lens Talk / Re: Lens Hotspot list - for Infrared photography
« Last post by Birna Rørslett on May 01, 2026, 18:38:43 »The lens is not used on its own, but in combination with filter(s), camera, scene light conditions etc. etc. Thus one rarely gets data that cover all situations. I consider these "good for [xxx]" compilations a starting point, nothing more. Add your own experiences.
The most generally applicable rule is never to stop down the lens too far, and avoid pointing the lens towards the sun or other bright light sources.Unless, of course, all those artifacts, ghosts, and flare, are considered to be the central idea of the envisioning and creative process.

PhotographyLife is a good site. Their reviews are fair and reliable.
The optical difference between the 24-70/4 and 24-120/4 in their shared range is small enough that it should not be a factor in deciding. They both share the same construction. The 24-70/4 collapses for storage and therefore takes up less space in your bag. However, you have to remember to extend it for use. The 24-120/4 offers the extra range and an extra function button.
The prices for new examples are close, so you may as well go for the 24-120/4. On the other hand, as you discovered, the 24-70/4 is readily available used for a lot less.
Good luck!

surreal quality. how did you pull this off?
It’s Z50ii / 500pf, import RAW to Studio NX to export Tiff, then import Tiff to Topaz Denoise for denoise/ sharpening and the final JPEG to FastStone image viewer for final edits.
