A prehistoric Tamron 500mm mirror tele (800mm on my APS-C, manual focus), an overstrainded tripod, wind and a steelwork near my home nevertheless led to graphical quite interesting results:

it's cheap, effective, and I am really looking forward to using it.
Another awesome lens that is a sweet deal is the 85mm F1.8. It is by far my favorite lens to use out of all them - even the L series lenses. It's incredibly sharp at F2.0 and turns regular shots into instant portraits with its very shallow depth of field.
I was thinking of going back through this thread and saving all your HDR images, as I really like them. Any chance you could save me the work and make a zip upload of all your HDR images?

You'd have them faster if you just saved them from here, but I'll zip some up when I have a chance.
Here are a few shots - not HDR of course - from Seattle.
Nice shots tnf... those ones of Seattle are very clean. I guess that's what you get with the better lenses... less noise. I always remember taking night shots with a shitty point-and-shoot, you get so much grain when its dark out.

Thanks!
I think its probably more to do with the sensor than the lenses when noise is concerned. The better sensors given you smoother tonal gradients. The lenses do help with things as well though - colors, sharpness, and I'm sure noise to some extent too.
That is a fantastic pic of my city, tnf. Very nice pics.
