Hello Dustin,
beautiful indeed.
I have the Mamiya 1.4 on M42 mount with the same 55mm FL.
I wonder if they share a common optical design
- they kind of look the same as well -
any thoughts between the two would be greatly appreciated.

Here's one with one of my favorite vintage lenses, the SMC Takumar 55mm f/1.8 M42 lens. This was a kit lens with a lot of Spotmatic cameras back in the day. It is a tiny little thing, but it's optics and color rendering are not vintage at all - it is a sharp, contrasty, and has great color. Best of all, it works flawlessly on modern FF bodies with no mirror hang. Because of it I actually ditched my EF 50mm f/1.4 (I don't shot 50mm a ton, and between this vintage glass and my Tamron 24-70 VC I have 50mm covered nicely).

its part of psychological marketing - tell them the case is not included.
then, sell them with the same price with case included - all of a sudden, the whole rip-off seems like a raw deal cheap.
also, pls dont forget - its a f/4.0 lens. - if you want to shoot at twilight or indoors sports/events - it will not outperform the 300,400 2.8's - let alone, the bokeh wont be as nice.

? for a lens??
7D with Sigma 120-300 ( 192-480) make that 200-500 f/2.8
1500 + 3600 = 5100
add a tele for say 5,500 total and you got a 268-672 f4 (( 1.6x +1.4x)
that leaves you with 6,500 to buy a 1DX or the older 300 or 400 f/2.8
OR
a 5D3 with a UWAL or whatever.

it seems like you forgot an IMPORTANT THING
pls review your manual at page 73 and page 77
61 point automatic selection AF both in A+ and AI Servo Modes
dont worry, there's nothing wrong with your 5D3, just wrong user settings.
we all experience it - one way or the other.

they would “bring the might of its legal team” to anyone that attempts to modify at the software level,
DEAR CANON
leave your customers alone - we bought your over priced camera - let us do what we want with it.
besides - it did not cost you anything for ML to do their work.
~ we can sue you too you know - you have no business what we do with our cameras.

i end up buying another 50mm
canon 50 1.4 at amazon for $299
canon 50 1.4 at amazon for $299
With a lens like that, I could see a lot of happy owners of the current 50 f/1.4 being prepared to buy a new lens.
I've already got the EF 50/1.8, Takumars 50/1.4 & 55/1.8 & 55/2.0, FL 55/1.2, Zeiss 50/4.0 (x3), OM 50/3.5 macro, and just recently a Schneider Retina 50/2.8 (in the post).
And with all of them, even I'd be interested in an EF 50/1.4 IS. You can never have too many fifties...
so what would be your fave 50mm Croubie -
i just sold my sigma 50, coming from a 50L and the 50 1.8
i missed my 50's and I'm looking into buying another 50mm again

« on: December 07, 2012, 10:09:21 PM »
I used the Ec-S screen - so far, did not noticed any AE issues (at least for me)
however - I did not do any testing - I rarely do those things - I used it - no issues so far.
although - I could not tell any real difference with Ec-S and the Ec-CV and decided to put the CV back on and the Ec-S back to my 1D Mark IIN.

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: 1DX "Caution 02" Warnings AND Filthy Sensor.
« on: December 07, 2012, 09:59:54 PM »
so far, my 1DX, i got July 13th 2012 is clean - really clean.
although, as for the Caution 02 - I have it multiple times each shoot -
if I clear the status list, by the end of my shoot, the list is full of caution 02
I used two batteries and they seem to give the same performance.
~ however - I have not noticed any issues that I can pinpoint to Caution 02 - at least - to what I experienced so far.
