After reading a few posts recently I thought it would be good for PH members to show some example shots taken with lenses available on the market today. Between the members on PH we must have a decent collection of lenses?

This could be useful for newcomers to photography, or punters just interested in a new lens to see roughly what it can do. Good shots (as we know) are not always down to the lens, the camera and person using it are just as important. The following will hopefully give you an example of what they can do at least.

If you could post the make and model of each lens, which camera was used, and EXIF if possible, that would be cool. A link to the lens would be nice! Also, keeping the lenses in length order would make it easier for people viewing. Copy and paste the "URL - /URL" stuff if you would like to link your photo to a larger versions.

Please keep images below 750px wide, pretty please, some people don't have broadband "allegedly" wink.

Thought I'd add this at the top as it's a useful resource: http://www.flickriver.com/lenses/ Be warned though, pretty bokeh can be expensive!! biggrin

Canon


Canon EF-S 10-22mm f3.5-4.5 USM ultra wide angle lens

I love this lens for the interesting distortion of perspective it produces, however bear with me - I'm still learning.

Brooklyn Bridge, taken with a 350d by Stuart: Also love the perspective offered by the lens. A wonderful city street walking lens, particularly in somewhere like NYC.
