The lens on the Sony A700 has loads at 17mm F2.8; this is because the lens was made for film and was not optimized to send light towards the edges at right angles to hit the CMOS on its head.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.glaringnotebook.com\/zimages\/suw1.jpg\"><br \/>\nUpping the green levels help; this is 17mm F2.8 at the minimum focusing distance of 50cm.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.glaringnotebook.com\/zimages\/suw2.jpg\"><br \/>\nBokeh is nice, but sometimes shows some brightline. Definitely not creamy either. Shot at F2.8.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.glaringnotebook.com\/zimages\/suw3.jpg\"><br \/>\nShot at F2.8, surprisingly sharp. Compared to the Sony 11-18mm F4.5-5.6 DT, which has a 16.5mm equivalent field of view, it is technically 0.5mm less wide. However, it is 1.33 stops brighter, so its depth of field is smaller. However, the Sony 11-18mm goes as close as 25cm, which makes up for it.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.glaringnotebook.com\/zimages\/suw4.jpg\"><br \/>\nThis was shot at F6.3.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.glaringnotebook.com\/zimages\/suw5.jpg\"><br \/>\nFlare was well-controlled at F11, and a bit of Photoshop made my office building pop.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.glaringnotebook.com\/zimages\/suw6.jpg\"><br \/>\nF2.8, focused on the <i>elianto<\/i> sign, and yet it was in focus all over.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.glaringnotebook.com\/zimages\/suw8.jpg\"><br \/>\nAnother macro shot at 17mm F2.8.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.glaringnotebook.com\/zimages\/suw10.jpg\"><br \/>\nGo green!
