Lumix FZ-30 Test Shots : A few test shots with the Lumix FZ-30 at Epcot in Orlando. I bought this for use when I don't want to, or can't, lug around a 1 series body and associated lenses. This is a pretty nice little camera. It does have some issues with noise, but these are manageble and if this first short outing is any indication (I was with some people and only had a short time to grab some shots), it will serve its purpose.

Lens Test - Consumer vs. L glass : I've had some trouble walking into events (a concert, for example) with my 70-200 F4L. I love this lens, of course, but for those times when I have to leave it at home, I purchased a Canon EF II 55-200 zoom. This lens is nice an compact, easy to cary, has a fast focusing USM motor and seems very sharp as this simple lens test shows. Worth checking out if you're looking for a modestly priced walk around zoom and don't want the heft or cost of L glass. This test was done using a 20D on a tripod, AWB, ISO400, 1/200 shutter speed, Sigma DG500 Flash, 10 feet from subject. No retouching - so pardon the white balance!

Canon 70-200 F4 L samples : Some quick samples with the 70-200 F4 L. Have to say - this lens appears to be worth every penny - well built - very nice handling - great contrast and sharpness. Copyright 2004, by Tony Klimas. Please contact me for use.

Tokina ATX 80-400 samples : Nothing scientific here, but these are some sample test shots with my new Tokina ATX 80-400. These are right out of my camera, shot in TV mode, Parameter 2, AWB at ISO 400. Some of these were taken wide open and others were stopped down a bit. All were hand held. The lens itself is very well built, at least compared to my Canon consumer lenses (80-200 4.5, 50 1.8 and the DR Kit lens). There is also a shot of the moon in my favorites gallery that was done in raw and processed in C1 plus I applied the Ultra-Sharp lite filter in Adobe PSE. These photos are unprocessed but when I applied some light USM on a few of these, I was very happy with the results. So far, it seems like a nice lens for those on a budget. Tokina has a $60 rebate now, so my price out the door for this lens from B&H was around $390.

Canon Digital Rebel - Samples : I used to have some sample shots done with the Canon DR. I've since moved these to other galleries or removed these. I didn't know what to do with these - so I left them here. Some of my first pics with the digital rebel. The DR is a great camera (make that an awesome camera). Canon seems to push it as the digital SLR for the masses but I'm not sure I agree. If you're looking for ease of use, convenience and simplicity, this may not be the best choice. On the other hand - if you are confused by circles, often preview the depth of things (like fields) and have dreams about L glass and breathtaking bokeh but don't know where to start... This is the camera for you!
