Bought a 70-210 AF-D

[JohnnyRebel]

Got the 70-210 AF-D off Ebay for $120 shipped. Played around with it a bit today. This one was taken @ 210mm, f/5.6, 1/100, ISO 1100. Taken in fading light (right at dusk).

Here are a few others...

Here are a couple of shots that show the sharpness of this lens a bit better, this time shot at f/8 instead of wide open. These are shot handheld at 210mm and 135mm, 1/200 and ISO 125. D7000. Focus on the cross.

Are these shots cropped the center 1024px? Or did you shrink the whole frame to 1024px? Just curious...

Shrunk down whole frame via Lightroom export.

Sharpness may be best demonstrated with a 100% crop. 🙂 Just a suggestion.

Here is a 100% crop (remember handheld, 135mm, crop sensor)
