The Limbo Connection's photos with the keyword: straw hat

A warm June day. A Panama hat is parked on a handy garden fork. Red Valerian in the foreground, open shed door behind. Nikon D700 and Nikkor 28-105mm f3.5-4.5D lens. Bjørn Rørslett comments favourably on this lens, remarking that it delivers very sharp images. Geometric distortion, often quite nasty on consumer lenses, is kept under impressively strict control. Curvature of field is insignificant, thus allowing the lens to capture buildings and other flat subjects in sharp focus across the entire frame even at wide aperture settings. Macro mode, where the lens will focus to around 1:2 (half life-size), is quite impressive. Even more impressive is the excellent optical rendtion of the close-ups, with colour fringing kept well under control. Rørslett concludes that the 28-105 justifies its popularity by delivering quality results in a small, handy package, and says it would constitute a perfect travel lens if you can live with the angle of view of a 28mm.
