test drive of my 55-200Vr lens

[jcsan2s]

im a newbie and i dont have much budget for expensive lenses so i settled for 55-200VR
im happy with it and the VR is useful

[tejadster]

nice shots

[prodigi]

napansin ko lang pag nasa 200mm focal length na medyo soft focus na sya... pero kaya naman remedyuhan yan ng konting sharpening sa photoshop 

[humbucker]

nice shots sir!

yung lens mo po ba yung ginagamit din for bokeh shots?

[mayk_bam]

sir, how much po ang lens na to? ito ba ang counterpart ng 55-250mm IS ng Canon?

[jcsan2s]

@ humbucker, thanks, well i believe you can get some nice bokeh shot with this lens but better ata  yung mga 1.4 aperture na lens

nice shots sir!

actually kahit anong lens with ample amount of zoom pwede mag-bokeh, hehe. so kayang kaya yan, hehe.

[prodigi]

ok rin naman mag-bokeh ang 55-200mm may pagka-soft focus nga lang sa 200mm range. eto sample shots kuha ko sa omni dati...

[jcsan2s]

nice sir prodigi!

what do you mean by soft focus? educate me

thanks

nice sir prodigi!

what do you mean by soft focus? educate me

thanks 

soft focus kasi hindi na sha ganon katalas. unlike a wide aperture lens. ganon din yung lens ko 18-135mm kasi, so ang laki ng zoom range. ang tendency eh yung sa 135mm range, hindi na sobrang talas. although hindi naman panget, hehe. pero pag nakagamit ka ng 1.4-2.8f lens, grabe lang, hehe. ang talas! ganda.

[jcsan2s]

ah ok, yup i've tried a 1.4 yun nga lang hindi pwede sa D40 wala AF.. 

thanks Bro!

Lupit naman nyan sir! 200mm wide open sir Jayson. Pero pansin mo lang naman sya pag compare mo sa hi-res pic tsaka sa ibang shots.

Your pics are nicely done, sharp naman sya e, mas maganda kuha mo kesa sa kilala kong wedding photographer. 
Wag ka talaga aasa pag sagad ka na sa sagad 200mm or sagad din sa 55mm. In between lang lagi. I findi it performs at its best at 80-150mm f6.3-11.

uy salamat sa tips bossing! wala lang naman yun medyo trip ko lang mang-sniper mukhang kailangan ko na yata mas mahabang lens...

teleconcerter na lang. Kung upgrade ka ng lens 70-200mm f2.8 na para mas sharp.
