Lenses / Cheap Canon 300mm or 400mm do I Choose?

« on: March 01, 2013, 12:04:31 AM »

I currently own FF and focal lengths 85mm and below

I was looking at Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L USM and EF 300mm f/4L IS USM to use for outdoor events.  what is your experiences and advice. . . handheld, IQ, aperture difference, IS difference, etc.

I want the 400mm but the f5.6 and having no IS pushes me toward the 300mm.

Thanks for your help

« on: February 13, 2013, 06:39:41 PM »

I'm in college (not for photography) and I take about 5-10GB per month at the most.

How many GB of photos do you take per month?

Lenses / Can You Beat it?

EF 200mm f/2.8L II USM @ just under $800?

I don't own any L glass.  For this price it looks like a good first L lens for my FF camera.

What do you think?

« on: January 17, 2013, 05:20:30 PM »

Hi Everyone,

I was reading this thread http://www.canonrumors.com/forum/index.php?topic=11309.0 and saw Marsu42's comment,"6d shots are softer".

I want to know (and I'm sure other do too) the differences between the sensor on these four cameras:

• 1DX
• 5D III
• 5D II
• 6D

Hi,

What contributes to the EOS bodies speed and accuracy when focusing (all with same lens)?

What are the differences between:

• Rebels
• 60D (similar to this)
• 7D
• 5D Series
• 1D Series

Lenses / Canon 85mm f/1.8 vs Other L and non-L Canon Primes

« on: January 13, 2013, 12:11:57 AM »

Hi Everyone,

My First Post! 

I am going FF to 6D soon (from a Canon Rebel T1i) and currently own the Canon 50mm f/1.4.  I'm looking into getting the Canon 85mm f/1.8 and was wondering how this lens compares (AF, sharpness, contrast, color rendition...) to other Canon lenses:

• EF 50mm f/1.4 USM
• EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM
• EF 100mm f/2 USM
• EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM

I have heard the Canon 135L is GREAT, but the focal length is too long for indoors IMO which is where i will mostly do portrait work, family, kids...At least for a while.

What do you think about the rumored Canon 85mm f/1.8 IS Version?
