Lenses / Tokina AF 17mm f/3.5 AT-X Pro

« on: June 18, 2013, 10:29:12 PM »

Anyone got any experience using the Tokina AF 17mm f/3.5 AT-X Pro...  i'm thinking it would make a nice small prime for a 100D and my 5D MKIII...

Lenses / Re: Canon EF 28mm F/2.8 IS USM $399 from Adorama !!

« on: June 18, 2013, 07:19:54 AM »

This made me realize that even $399 was too much for it.

Now, the 35/2 IS for $399 would have been another story...

Why so?

Optically it appears to be a very good lens. If the offer had been in the UK I would have been reaching for my credit card.

+1 I would have jumped at it to!

a 20/22mm EF pancake would be amazing, but i'm thinking of pairing the 100D with a 24 f/2.8 IS...  it's a small-ish size and at  38mm FF eqv, much more suited to walk-a-round.

Lenses / Re: What would you do if you had $2000, a 5DII and no lenses?

« on: June 14, 2013, 01:38:27 AM »

This really depends on what you shoot...  If you don't know which way the wind will take you, just getting a 24-105L for the moment until you see if you want wider or longer or just better in that range.

If i was in that situation i would get the 24-105L and 70-300L....  but as i said it depends what you shoot and  want!!!

EOS-M / FF EOS-M?

« on: June 07, 2013, 05:12:28 AM »

Does anyone know if the EF-M lenses have a big enough image circle to work on a FF Sensor in a M body? If not, the emergence of a FF M is very very unlikely!

EOS-M / Re: EF-M 11-22 / 4-5.6 IS STM - officially announced

« on: June 06, 2013, 07:57:30 AM »

Lookign forward to seeing some reviews of this lens... if it is as good or better than the 10-22, combined with the 2.3x AF increase in the M certainly makes an appealing combo.

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: EOS M Firmware Update Coming Soon

« on: June 06, 2013, 07:07:05 AM »

Does this mean there is not a new one coming out soon? 2.3x faster AF would certainly help...  the AF was the main reason I havn't got one...  lets see what people think of it once it is in the camera!

Interesting....  lets see how sharp it is.  All we need now is an M body upgrade...

The more I think about this, the more I think it would make sense to release this with a New EOS M  model? Wishful thinking?

My concern for the new lenses are size and weight.
More pancake lenses!

Agreed...  More pancakes all round please! on a side note I would also love to see a EF 20mm pancake.
