The photos here have been taken with an old Canon EF 24-85 which I found used in a local shop for a ridiculously low price.
It had a little break in the plastic filter ring which does not prevent filter use but allowed for the bargain price.
Not having any short focal AF lens, I decided to take it, just in case of need. And I tested it at the Carnevale.
I have to say that I feared it to be much worse optically than what it actually is.
I also have to say that I always shoot it well stopped down in order to avoid the Cazwecs (Canon zoom's weak corners syndrome).
The results are fine I think, although I had to adjust parameters in Lightroom for twice the time that I need with my manual lenses.
What is really bleah is the autofocus, it is so slow and errand that at some point I just turned it off and shoot the lens manually, LOL!
Thanks for watching

the 24-85 was considered quite good at his time, I even thinking of buying it
#19 at 28mm is poor (definition, distortion, bokeh) , longer focal are better, quite good after 50mm like #1#2 _________________ T* |

yes distortion is awful
#19 is also a bad photo because of motion blur (I included it because it's the only one that shows the motor horse )
if you look at #7 it's the same FL (wide) but it is better, at least for definition. _________________ Orio, Administrator

I used th have that lens as well as a standard lens for my former 350D. And I really liked it!
I think those shot show that it is a good lens.
BTW, look at #11, those are the shots I like the most, when something is captured just like "en passant". _________________ Personal forum activity on pause every now and again (due to job obligations)!

I see what you mean.
You know? It's really difficult to take photos of these band members. Firstly, because they march quite fast.
Secondly, because they are not used to be photographed, in fact they always look strangely at me because I photograph them.
I think they expect that people do only photograph the girls. They always have this gaze, like "Why are you taking a picture of me?"
Or in the worst cases, like "get lost!"
A lot of photos are like this, and I have to get rid of most of them because they do not look so friendly.
Girls instead are used to be photographed and most of them are ok with that or even happy _________________ Orio, Administrator
