Nice! You guys on a DTLA family excursion? :wink:

 

[mematsu]

It was a late Father's day celebration. The boys had basketball and a band concert so most of that day was spent doin' their thing.

Shooting was the priority.
Angel's flight to MOCA to the Bradbury. Lunch at the Grand central market.
It was nice.

On a side note: I picked up the 45-175. You are right. It's no joke.

Wow!
Some really good stuff here! :smile:

 

[mematsu]

Thanks Ed.
I appreciate it.

Finally, some validation! :wink: Yeah that lens is awesome, probably the best kit telephoto zoom of any system.

Excellent images, John.
To my eyes, Downtown L.A. Has never looked this good.

Validated!
The internal zoom is so nice. And contrast sooc is remarkable.

Amazon market had them for $210 recently. A great deal.

+1.
Is this the beginning of a "stay with John" competition between the 40-150 and the 45-175? :smile:

Thanks guys.

You know me all too well.
It met the required minimum for purchase, passed the initial usability test, and exudes likability.

It has a great chance of making it passed the three week mark. :wink::biggrin:

it well.
