« on: March 01, 2013, 11:53:45 AM »Let me add to the confusion:
If you want the same background blur... But
1) Want to stay where you are
2) The subject is also fixed in distance from you, but you want to pull it closer
Then adding a TC will mantain this OOF blur in the background without you needing to move closer to the subject.
However your framing has changed. All the TC buys you is re-positioning the subject in relation to you and the background. The closer the subject is to the sensor, the more oof blur you get for the background. The TC pulls the subject closer however since it reduces the F number, you are back to square 1... the only advantage you get is, you can stay far and shoot and still get some OOF blur in background since the TC has pulled your subject in a bit... confused?
but the object does not get closer. it´s only magnified by the TC.
Correct, it gets closer to the sensor and appears larger (framing change)

Lenses / Re: 17-40mm advice please!
« on: March 01, 2013, 11:13:49 AM »
If you are going FF soon then get the kit lens (24-105) with the 5d3 or 6D since it costs about $450 when bought as a kit. normally you'd pay about 750-800 for it.
It will be as wide as 15mm is on crop, so plenty wide that you may not need the 17-40. But at that range, there are few UWA's that rival the 17-40L.

Well....that is the kind of humor you expect from psychopaths, or maybe a sociopath...or someone with seriously questionable morality...
Either way...I personally, quite honestly, don't know a soul who would have found that funny...
Aw c'mon J ... Carl was being funny... and I did not see him meaning any offense... I laughed at his post
It's great having you both on the Forum!

EOS Bodies / Re: Canon EOS 7D Mark II Spec List [CR2]
« on: February 19, 2013, 04:48:30 PM »I don't really believe that the noise performance would be that much better than the current 7d. They went down on res compared to the 5d2 with the 1dX and up in sensor size to be better than the 1d4, the 5d3 has the same res as the 5d2 and still is only better over 1600/3200 iso. So increasing the mp from 18 to 24 on an aps-c sensor doesn't read killer high iso performance for me. MP still sells....
Well, let's hope you're wrong!
My heart says he is wrong, my heads says he is right....

« on: February 15, 2013, 12:59:37 PM »With high ISO image quality constantly being improved, why a need/ want for an UWA lens with an f/1.8 aperture? I don't understand the point besides tech-spec lust.
Hi-ISO won't get him the Bokehlisciousness.... !

Software & Accessories / Re: Topaz DeNoise or other plugin
« on: February 11, 2013, 07:33:08 AM »
I have both... use both for different kinds of noise.
To Take the edge off.... I use Dfine.
To eliminate, I use Topaz
For Portraits where fine detail is not such an issue, I do some of it in LR also.... I never use the CS noise filter... it makes things worse sometimes.

Speaking of DR compression; Here's a thought....
Pixel or photosite level "Electronic shutter".
areas of the sensor with enough light shut off sooner than the areas that need the shutter to be open longer... till you have perfect exposure with reduce DR capturing everything and no banding or gradient issues.
I should patent this and sell it to Sony quick...
