It sure is...if you ask me it's worth the money. And I've been comparing it to my Nikon FF lenses. You are right about the colour rendition which IMO is superior to the 45mm.

Congrats Veeresh You're becoming a Guru in street photos. I really appreciate your work.

Now hope to emulate you with my cute little MLCs.

PS - Some really nice contributions from hitherto unknown (in this thread) members. Clevermax's photos are great as always.

Sunset at Juhu Beach.
Beautiful colors by nature.

Indeed feels like a happy holi.

For the pets theme. My cousin's pets captured during my Bangy trip recently.

@jacs: The cat reminds me of Snowball from Stuart Little. Nice clicks !


First proper photo clicked with my Galaxy Note 2. I think its quite a good pic considering a mobile phone camera output.

That's my 3 year old nephew playing Holi on a paper

Note II camera quality seems to be really nice!

Here, a mini Rhino!
Taken using Sony A35, Minolta AF 70-210mm f/4 lens & DCR250
I'm getting addicted to magnification!

Thanks Samurai! While shooting macros, I always remember your inputs - like we forget about composition while trying to get the focus and other things right. So I make it a point that I don't forget composition, though I'm not very good at it..!

Thankyou Sir.
The pic was just taken with my mobile phone. Ofcourse used the Exposure meter in the phone to take 2 different shots and merged them together in photoshop.

The image quality is of no match to that of any DSLR, but seems to be decent.

Thats right Ajay, so serious.

I have noticed GN2 produces very good output. Recently my friend shared couple of pictures shot in a low light environment and it looked better than my Canon .

jk - Nice one, I would have loved to see the shining eyes. May be a bit more focus like Samurai san mentioned. I'm glued on DCR250 ever since Clever bought it. Waiting for someone to get me from the US .

Wow! Reminds me of bed time stories about stars.


My Camera is not busy these days as my Employer is keeping me busy. One from the collection, Mynah & its nest.
