Just through Photoshop or Lightroom, by decreasing sharpness.

It's my sharpest lens, so much so, I have to tone it down a bit for portraits.

Those are the two lenses I pack when I don't know what I'll encounter, covers everything. I had thought about taking my 400mm f/4.5 as it's epic, but it's no where near as versatile.

It's big, it's heavy (for me) but it's very versatile and for the money it's impossible to beat.

Few from a walk down by the river. All Z8 and 180-600mm #

You'll enjoy using that combination.

Sounds more dangerous than I first thought. A fire blanket poncho sounds like it's needed

Thanks. He does look a bit like him, a few years his senior and with a little more hair, just a little mind :D

Portrait of a fellow photographer. Taken with a sb-28 flash and a very cheap shot through umbrella. Z8 and 24-70mm

@Petrochemist We were going to try it on a underpass. With the information from yourself and others, we'll go back and try again. Great images by the way.

Great information, thanks.

A few friends tried lighting wire wool and spinning it last night, for some creative photographs. Unfortunately is wouldn't seem to light. I had a gas burner blow torch type thing to light it, so plenty of heat and fire. We tried it tightly packed and loosely, but no joy. I joked that it was...

I had been eyeing the Delkin Black 512GB when it was £150 ish, wished I'd have got it, that price is a pipe dream now. Luckily I upgraded my PC last year before everything rocketed in price. I bought Corsair Vengeance 64GB (2X32GB) DDR5 6000MHz for £157, it's now £972. I've got a WD 8TB SN850X...

I was using mine today, it was a bit long for what I was at but the quality out of it is fantastic.

I use it for Macro and it's very good, it's good for portraits too, much better than the old F-mount version. As Peter has said, the lack of teleconverter compatibility is a poor design choice, but probably it's only draw back. I could see a MkII version down the line, that allows teleconverters.
