Lens Testing - Nikon 24F2.8 AF-D - page 10
Non-scientific, seat-of-the-pants shots with a Nikon 24 F2.8 AF-D lens. When I got my D700 I took out several lenses one at a time to see how they performed on FX. I never used the 24 F2.8 much on film or digital DX, and I wanted to give it another chance on FX format.

Converted from NEF to JPG with ViewNX 2. For more information, view the EXIF data. Some images are not resized.

I manufactured this shot to have a foreground object with a decent background object. This is where I commonly shoot from when there are baby Harris Hawks in the nest in the cactus in the background.<br><br>NIKON D700, AF 24mm f/2.8D, F9, 1/500
