NB23 advised me that the real strength of the 28-70/2.8 is at its wide end, and encouraged me to test it. But
try as I could, I didn't have the strength to turn that ring all the way to 28mm, so I took my test shot at 32mm.
Note: just kidding; the zoom ring is as smooth as butter .
OK, looks good. Time to go back to the correct end of the zoom. My next victim was the trick little truck
that picks up our clippings, shot at 70mm.

The driver must have thought The Beast was a bazooka launcher, because his first reaction was to duck.
Then he headed straight for me, and he looked pi$$ed. I thought he was going to run me down :? .

But once he figured out it was just a camera, he was more than pleased to pose.

I tried one more wide angle shot at Stix, when I bought lunch. Hey, I actually made it all the way to 28mm :twisted: !
