The focus pull/breathing difference is amazing.

I am going to guess it is optically identical to the non-cinema lens... and since it is a 14mm.. the DoF is huge.. why charge soooo much more over the regular? the micro precision is really.. not that useful here.. and durability.. you can get two regulars... da´hell canon?

Zzzzzz

Where is the updated 35, 135, 180 Macro and 400/5.6?

Canon has sent them all to me for testing.

I'm asking because if you don't believe the deal is real, why give them a credit card number?

I just bought a like new Canon 400mm f/5.6L for $600........so is there any chance that the purchase will go through?  I'm thinking no...

I've been persevering, and I have to say that romance is blossoming. It does take some work and creative to make this lens work for you, but when you realise what it's for (and not for). Then the results start coming. Knowing how to tweak the images in PP helps too.
The lens is rather good and deserving of its L title.

Here's one of mine from a couple of days ago:

Also, here's one of the threads discussing it and the EF17-40 f4L:

My eyes tell me she's shopped into the photo.  Yeah, my glasses are clean.



Well give them another wipe. It's one image. That's what  flash in daylight looks like. Especially when you mess with both the exposure and flash compensation.


Yes, I shoot the same style of photos.  It's her feet that look layered.  But if it's one image and you shot it, then it is.

I was at the American Girl store and a pretty nice looking mom had a 5D mkii/iii (I couldn't tell and I was busier looking at her other features), and I believe a 24-70.  I'm going to guess it was a $5000 set up to take a picture of her kid with next to a silly cardboard cutout... but who knows, maybe she was using her pro gear on a personal errand... but I think she was a rich woman who had more money than talent... though she did have some nice talents...

My wife goes to soccer matches, and to the watch crit racing with a 5DIII and 70-200 f/2.8IS II and 24-70 F/2.8 II.  It just so happens that she also runs a studio ....

Who says all soccer mums don't know one end of a camera from the other!

I don't think he was interested in the camera's end.

I'm sure someone knows, just no one on these forums.  ;)

(and for removing the articulating LCD  :-*).

That'll never happen.
agreed. A lot of people like it and there seem to be no sealing problems with it. I keep hearing people say it can be brokemn off, but you never seem to hear of it hapenning to anyone...

True, but I was alluding to the fact that a camera of this market needs to have a swivel screen if the competition offers.  It's the same with a Sony "amp", it better have 1100 or moar watts.

I still only have  T1i, want so bad to upgrade to a 5D MKII by the end of the summer.

Your photos look fine.  A 5 series won't improve things too much.

I'm still going to hold out for a 600mm f/4 L IS II. Its only $1200 more, for 2.25x more subject magnification.

A 7d and a 300/4 for even less is an option, kinda.  I'm not a wildlife shooter, but if you're birding do you really need to zoom back to 200mm on a $11799 lens?  It seems most wildlife shooters I see are toting a 600/4 and TCs combination.  I've used my 200/2 on the odd bird if I'm out shooting kid pics, and I can tell you 200 is too short for any bird in the wild, works well for tame deer, but useless for timid tiny birds.
