NY Times on Dead Celebrities Law: Dead Wrong
The New York Times finally got around to covering California's new "Dead Celebrity Law," and in this case late was worse than never.
A PopPhoto.com reader from Overland Park, KS reviews the Nikon 28-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF Zoom-Nikkor lens:
I purchased this lens in 2004. I already had another lens of the same focal length from a third party manufacturer. The quality of the photos, both in sharpness and color saturation, is excellent. What I really am impressed with is the low distortion when using the lens at 28mm and up close, say for a small group. I also like the close focusing. This lens is sharper than my third party lens and it has faster focusing as well. All photos were taken with a Nikon F5 camera. If you end up getting this lens, you will be pleased with the results. For an all around lens, this one makes sense. I also like the lens hood, in that it bayonets on and off and can be stored upside down on the lens when not in use.
What's Hot: This lens is very light and easy to handle.
What's Not: The lens construction seems to be of lesser quality than other Nikkors.

Anatomical Gray Card: Metering off an 18-percent neutral gray card is a good way to get a midtone reading that will give you a good overall exposure of a scene. Forgot your gray card? Hold your open hand up so it's facing the light, take a reading off your palm, open up one stop, and shoot. (Various skin tones rarely account for even a full-stop difference.)
