Yikes.... Who needs a heater core for the cabin when you can just have turbos.

Ran the peaches through a slicer. They dehydrated quick being sliced that thin. About 5/16" to start.

Rode 350mi once trying to ride about 210.  That was a long day and expensive bar tab.

I'm ready to ride....but my sled deal fell through.

Have a bunch of fruits and veggies to do at this point. Will do some jerky if some elk or deer meat comes my way.

New lens should show up today!

The guys at B&H were awesome!

 

They not only know their equipment, but also take the time to assemble it to make sure their info is correct.

 

So with that being said I hope this lens is what I have been looking for without spending 1K or more.

Funny thing is I did not want a Sony lens, based on their knowledge the others were not quite as good.

 

Nerves are racing in hope they were spot on.

What did you end up with?

It is branded Sony, but made with good glass. Glass is much heavier.

 

DT 16-105 It has an F3.5-5.6, but my camera is showing it at 3.0 at times.

 

The guy talked me out of the zoom based on my 55-200 and felt it was best to replace my cheap 18-55 and add a bit more range and width. So my wife should be able to get good pics when I am not with her. I can't make every football game to watch my daughter cheer, so it was imortant I get her fixed up.

[nem 2,019]

The big plus was the price. $350 and is like brand new with full warrenty.

[nem 2,019]

Friday will tell me if he was right.

Interesting lens. More light is always better.

The DT 16-50 has plenty of range.  I would highly think about swapping to it.  The 50-100 extra in length you really give up for in lens speed.  MANY of the pictures I take I couldn't shoot with a 3.5-5.6 and considering it approaches the higher at the long range it makes the long range not so usable.

MUCH more important than range.  You can always crop you can NEVER get light when it isn't there.

**assumes that lens tests well I did ZERO research on it as I know nothing of the Sony branded lenses but from a configuration situation it is the choice on a crop frame.  

[///M5 2,833]

If you mostly shoot portraits then perhaps slightly longer on both ends is okay, but if you are taking full body shots or shooting general things the wide end is more important.

That is a very good lens as well. I am going to give this a go because I can always return it for another. The extra range is to get the player that my daughter is doing the scrap book for.

I need to get some more glass soon.
