The 28 sort of magnified this characteristic. I was looking for something at the opposite end of the scale, a 75 or 90. I traded into the latter. I've shot some chrome with the 28 in a field of silage (corn left to dry on the stalk) and it was really impressive. The color is exquisite and the sharpness is unequaled. I'll buy another no doubt.
