[Leica] Nathan's PAD 8/2/2019: testing a new lens on the beach

[Philippe]

Is that the XC type? I have one and find it very handy as it is light and small, relatively sharp and accurate (AF) what else would you expect for a lens I paid less than a hundred euros new - it was then 400€, bought half price on a Black Friday, with 50% extra coupon on it …

:-)

We're taking it to SA by the way. Only real down-side on mine, no WR.

Enjoy your lens and  trip!

> I do not buy much new equipment these days—the stuff I have is good enough for my needs, whether we are talking computers or tablets/phones or photo equipment. I do buy occasional bits and pieces related to my cycling, especially things that wear out, like clothes. But this week I bought my first piece of photo kit in at least year, a 50-230mm zoom for my Fuji. I am going to Romania next week, my first visit to that country, and I wanted to travel light. This means the Fuji X-E2 with two zooms—the 18-55mm I already had, the new 50-230mm, and an f2/23mm lens for low light situations.

> The new zoom arrived yesterday at my office, so on my way home I stopped at the central beach of Alicante to do some lens testing, in the way I normally test lenses—just by taking pictures. I think the result is quite satisfactory, and I look forward to walking around Bucharest with a light camera bag next week. Here are five images from Playa de Postiguet.
