105E ... bulky ... slow AF ... superb IQ

[Frank Fremerey]

Jaques: I am very impressed by the 1£ 1£ 2£ shot and the jellow leather seat!

I took a lot on assignment yesterday and I am relly happy with separation & transition...

[Erik Lund]

So you say I need to sell the 20EII and get a 14E or 14EII instead?

Yes

[Frank Fremerey]

Yes

Holy cow. I thought we discussed this...

[Frank Fremerey]

So some shots from yesterday. Those involving children are ... pity ... not fit for the web, only for the exhibition catalogue

I just used it in parallel with the 1.4/24G. Another class of AF! While the 24 hammers away AF tracking at 10 fps the 105E goes slooowly but reluably ....

[Erik Lund]

For the same AF target? Sounds wrong to me,,,

[Frank Fremerey]

After the holidays I need that checked at NPS

Not taking of out of focus quality but can someone take the same subject with the 105E and the new 70-200E at 105?
Say at 2.8, 4 and 5.6
Many thanks

[Erik Lund]

Pedro I think you have to be a bit more specific, 90% will be identical,,,

Yeah, I know, but I would like to know if there are visible differences in IQ.
I ave the new 70-200E, but still forcing me that I do not need this 105E...

I saw one copy for sale at 1500€ in Paris - used. Bought and resold shortly after, together with a D5.

Still too expensive to be put at the bottom of the Xmas tree.

Then I bought a very clean, and apparently good, 105/2.5 AI. Let us see if the curved blades really matter, as often stated by Bjørn.

[Frank Fremerey]

I did not put it under the christmas tree although it in my christmas present. I put it on the cam immediately. 1500 is very cheap, that is next to 1000 Euros below RSP

Yes, but that's without VAT. Old trick.
