Having used both (for a 5D2) I'll take FoCal any day.

EOS Bodies / Re: Canon EOS 7D L Announced, Shipping in May
« on: April 01, 2013, 03:06:19 PM »
This almost makes me want to have one 3d-printed just to see how it feels. I'm sure Canon could ship something like this easily enough if they thought it was worth it. Anyway I laughed :-)

Lens Gallery / Re: Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM
« on: March 24, 2013, 01:42:10 AM »
Does anyone have a raw from this lens (preferably wide-open) they could slide me? I'd like to see what I can do with it in Lightroom before I take up an offer on one.

Lenses / Re: naked eye equivalent?
« on: March 23, 2013, 05:19:44 PM »
You might well hear different but as far as I know 50mm is pretty close to normal human vision.
50mm focal length is 50mm focal length as long as the lens matches the mount on your camera; Your EF 50mm f/1.8 on a Rebel will look like about 80mm because the Rebel has a smaller sensor. If you have an 18-55 you could set it to 50mm and compare it to the results from your 50mm f/1.4.

Software & Accessories / Re: help please - LR seems to injects noise (LOTS of noise)
« on: January 26, 2013, 08:49:34 PM »
Have you tried opening the same RAW in Lightroom directly? That seems like a place to start.

Bigger tablet :-P
Seriously though the only thing I'd worry about is the light coming through the window; I have a vaguely similar situation and I have mine covered over to keep the glare down. I'd rather have light-tight blinds but I don't use the room enough otherwise to justify the expense.

Canon General / Re: More Canon Store Information
« on: January 15, 2013, 12:44:03 AM »Just came from a tour of the Canon store in Calgary. There's no retail sales area as such but you can order online from a desk terminal. It's a nice bright space with lots of nifty little dioramas where you can play hands-on with all the Canon stuff. In all, a cool place to spend a half-hour poking around. Less Apple store than interactive display, though. Not that exciting for pros, maybe, but the great unwashed will have a bit of fun.
Where in the city is it? I could see making the trip sometime.

If you can afford a white Canon lens then you really should have a copy of Lightroom; It is worth it for cataloguing all of your images, never mind the lens corrections and noise reduction.
