11mm to 1000mm a slideshow
Flickr Gallery showing every lens combo I have from 11mm on my Tokina 11-16mm lens to my Sigma 150-500mm. ( updated with a 1000mm shot thanks to my 2x Kenko Teleconverter
Shows you the range that you can get with just a few key lenses in your kit. – The Distance to Eureka Tower ( the tall building I zoom in on ) is approx 8.5km as the crow flies.
Best viewed full screen.
( and for those who are on non flash enabled I thingys… go to the Flickr Set here )
All Shots were taken on Manual Settings:
| Camera | Nikon D90 |
|---|---|
| Exposure | 0.001 sec (1/800) |
| Aperture | f/9.0 |
| ISO Speed | 200 |
Lens used in order were
Tokina 11-16mm, Nikon 18-55mm VR, Nikon F1.8 50mm, Nikon 55-200mm VR, Nikon 70-300mm, Sigma 150-500mm, with each lens taking a shot at both ends of its range.
Shots are not taken for aesthetic value, and neither did I have a proper tripod set up to ensure that the shots were perfectly lined up for focus point. ( A decent tripod is next on the list of things I need to buy )

Update
the 1000mm shot is taken in Automode on a D7000 a year later than the above shots from the same location care of a 2x Teleconverter. The haze in the shot shows the limitations of long shots as well.
