#Zoom Lenses

[radioradio]

In lieu of... that.

I'm staying off of twitter tonight. Staying off of bluesky, insta, threads, and facebook too.

The only reason I'm even on here tonight is to show off the newest addition to my arsenal. The Nikon AF-S Zoom-Nikkor 17-35mm f/2.8D IF-ED (center):

As you can see, Popura likes the D. ;)

That completes the Holy Trinity of the D-series zoom lenses. I can use them with my D600 DSLR, any other F-mount DSLR, or even F-mount film cameras if I so choose. With an adapter I can use them on the mirrorless bodies, although the 70-200mm will no longer autofocus.

The 17-35mm was a Bargain grade buy, and it shows.

There's what feels like a detent between 24 and 28mm when zooming in towards 35mm. The rear lens cap that came with was a bit loose, but swapping out with a cap from a different lens in my collection took care of that.

It's due to rain most of tomorrow, so if I want to put it to work at the soonest, I'll need to head out first thing after work in the morning. Beats watching election results, eh?

Boops to @sirfrogsworth. My little friend is gonna start coming with. I need a more spacious camera bag now, so there'll be room for her to tag along from now on. My current bag can be reserved for baseball, as it's just within MLB specs.

I don't think the V models are very expressive outside of deliberately manipulating their body language to get a message across, but of the two, V2 would have the camera shutter "lenses" the V models are sometimes drawn with whereas V1 just stares blankly no matter what
