I have the Nikon equivalent and they are a brilliant focal length with the added bonus of stabilisation and not too much focus breathing for the videographers amongst us. The picture of the ship above was taken with this lens from a moving ferry in rough weather using the active stabilisation. OK Here is a shot of a ferry boat from a moving cruise ship
GeekKopi So we had some crazy tornado weather here in Melbourne his arvo but the skies cleared up at around 6pm. So off I went to capture the moments. All are singe exposures at iso100, f11, 11mm and various exposure times.

Also glad to see you're suffering the same dreadful image downsizing issues with fringing and pixilation. That's why I put my image on Flickr but it still isn't as zoomable and clean as here locally. 🙁 Great stuff GK! How are you uploading?? Your getting better clarity than anyone else and it's not fair!!!!

Brett_H Darn it... I hate tapatak! I also reckon the iPad down samples between the Nas and the photo cloud.

Brett_H In th new year my work is migrating me to a surface pro with photoshop so I may have some luck with 2016 uploads.
kbilleter Resizing is a bit of a dark art. Need to balance, sharpness, aliasing, moire, ringing, echoes, gamma, colour space... There is a great survey of techniques and pros and cons of different filters on the imagemagick.org/Usage pages.

Brett_H Straight off camera... Both Lenses shot at 2.8. Final Macro shot (not great but boy it's hot outside today) is with the Macro Lens. Please note that IMHO: "Macro photography (or photomacrography or macrography, and sometimes macrophotography), is extreme close-up photography, usually of very small subjects, in which the size of the subject in the photograph is greater than life size (though macrophotography technically refers to the art of making very large photographs)." Mine could be better in all instances using the monopod and having less help from the kids.... 😉
GeekKopi Where did the photo go Brett? One minute i saw it the next it disappeared. Must be very macro!
GeekKopi Brett H wrote: I'm reprocessing... Vey unhappy with sharpness. Here is the 105mm macro that is very nice and clean. Did you use an external monitor to compose?
Brett_H GeekKopi wrote: that is very nice and clean. Did you use an external monitor to compose? No mate, just through the viewfinder but because of the breeze I took a few as it moved in and out of the shallow focal plane. Okay, here is without NAS re-sampling... 135F2.8 Defocus Off
Koffee_Kosmo A similar photo to Brett's Not macro but as close as possible with the 18-135 zoom Subject is a Desert Rose in full bloom KK
Brett_H Okay, now that's better but not yet 100%. Defocus all the way to Rear 5.6, then re-focus subject....
