I decided that the easiest way would be to demonstrate via photos, all taken from the same spot in a garden in Thornbury looking out towards the river Severn.
The photos are not my best and are straight out of the camera. upon reflection I should have chosen a better subject and cleaned them up a bit, but I hope it shows you what's what!
So starting with Extra Wide Angle.
The Tokina 11-16mm:
11mm:
16mm:
Sony's 18-55mm "kit" lens (SAL-1855)
18mm:
55mm:
Sony's 100mm f/2.8 macro lens (SAL-100M28)
A slight step back in focal length for a second, but moving on to my favourite lens!
Sony's 70-300mm G SSM lens (SAL-70300G)
70mm:
300mm:
Lastly, Sony's 500mm mirror reflex lens, brilliant for wildlife, despite being fixed at f/8 (SAL-500F80)
Hope this helps, if not contact me with any questions you have.
Thank you for posting this! That is awesome, and they are great photos. Unfortunately, all of these are out of my price range at the moment (hopefully, not forever though). I am looking at the Minolta Maxxum 50mm 1.7 on ebay, and the Tamron 70-300mm DI. What are your thoughts on these. I am looking for a lens with a wide aperture opening (the Minolta) and something with a long focal range (the Tamron) Both I think will do good for portraits. As I do not check my google account often, can you Flickr Message me, pretty please?
