Lens testing

While waiting for my car to be serviced last Saturday morning, I took some photos using the Tokina.


1/320, f8, iso 100, 45mm


1/160, f8, iso 100, 70mm


1/320, f8. iso100, 70mm


1/20, f4, iso100, 55mm


1/30, f4, iso100, 55mm


1/15, f4, iso100, 35mm

I was happy with the results from this aged lens. The focusing is fast(should be faster on a700 or a900) and accurate and the ability to go wide open is a bonus just in case I need those. I like the weight of the lens too, just nice and stable when attached to the camera. The Sony lens was a good performer too, sharp with accurate colors produced. Definitely a worthy upgrade from kit lenses.

Later in the evening, I went to Tanjung Aru(again???) for sightseeing and getting some fresh fruits. The water guava there...slurpssss! Its crunchiness, taste...yummmyy! Opps, out of topic. Back to the post. Was hoping for a sunset but the it rained earlier.

Luckilly there was a cultural show going on at night. Time to test the Tammy while munching guavas. Heaven in my mouth...

The Tamron and Tokina still hunts for AF here and there but so far I can live with its slower focussing than HSM or SSM's motors on Siggy and Sony G's. Anyway, I want to welcome a new addition to the alpha family. Will tell more later.


The neck-breaker cobra! Hehe.
