I've got an L Lens on hire from next week onwards, and want to take the opportunity to really find out what L Glass is all about and compare it to my current (kit + other) lenses.... that way when I get the money I can justify the 4 figure price tags usuallly associated with the Red Ring.....
So - my plan was to mount the camera on my tripod and take a few test shots outside using my lens and the L lens..... and I expected to download the pics onto the computer, review them and zoom to 100%, and I hope and Expect the L to be crystal clear and show the inferiorty of my own lenses......
However I dont really know what L is and what makes it soooo great and sooo desirable, so I figured in doing this I may not actually be demonstrating to myself the things that really matter.... I do plan to use the L lens over the time ive got it on loan, but I figured doing identical shots with my other lenses and reviewing would give me some answers.... and I dont want to be doing that ALL week!
So - what does L give me - what should I be looking for, and how do I test and review them?
