Third Party Manufacturers / Re: Samyang (Rokinon) 8mm fisheye version 2 (HD8M)
« on: December 30, 2012, 04:17:56 PM »
There's apparently a version 2 of the excellent 8mm South Korean fisheye lens out, that has a removable hood.
Has anyone had experience with this version 2 lens? Does it give you a FULL circular? My research seems to indicate no.
Interesting. I too would like to hear about this too.

« on: December 30, 2012, 04:15:32 PM »Any noise on during focusing on your 135 compared to the 70-200?
My 135 is considerably louder than the 70-200 4L IS. Are your findings similar?I've been shooting basketball this winter with the 135 f/2L at f/2, f/2.2, and f/2.5, depending on lighting. I absolute love this lens. I use it with the 70-200 f/2.8L II IS. If lighting gets bad, I can depend on the 135L for an extra stop of light, and it's still razor sharp at f/2.
You know, I never paid attention. I'll check it out. I do notice that electronic noise on my 200 f/2L and 300 f/2.8L though, just during focusing with IS off.
Btw, I have never noticed any sound from my 135 or 70-200 II

The 200/2 is the loudest lens I ever shoot. The IS wants you to knop that it is there

Here is one I took a couple of nights ago. The foreground is very dark, but the sky was so beautiful that afternoon, so I could not resist

Lighting / Re: Getting started with 600EX-RT, advice?
« on: December 30, 2012, 08:48:41 AM »So I got my first flash, a 600EX-RT. So far I just got a Gary Fong Lighsphere diffuser for it and that's about it. I was just curious as to what fun things I can do with it just to experiment. I've always shot with natural light/reflectors, but I know flashes open up a whole new world. I feel like I'm clueless as to where to start, so any advice would be greatly appreciated!
I would even suggest getting Joe McNally's book Sketching Light. I have that and Syl' book and they are great, and the most reccomended books on the strobist.com

Canon 35mm f/2 IS Review
Thanks for the post. I just bought the Siggy 35, but still interesting to watch this. He makes a strong argument for the video shooters (of which I am not one of). Apart from the vignetting issue at F2.0,... Am I the only one that thought that the bokeh did not look particularly good on this lens?

Several are speculating that it is the Project 1709 that was launched as a beta at Photokina. If that is the case, I am not impressed with it so far.

Third Party Manufacturers / Re: Nikons and Canon's equivalent
« on: December 28, 2012, 06:24:05 AM »I don't really think I have a decent set of lenses (It's really what's in my signature plus the 18-55mm kit lens). I do feel that the 1000D is beginning to be insufficient for what I (try to) do. Being a student, a 5d3 will really be a luxury item since I don't make any profits from my hobby. I really like the look and feel of full frame, but am willing to wait for the 7d2 to come out (if ever) since I don't have pressing needs.
But what surprises me is that both the 5d2 and D700 came out in the same year (2008) and to me the D700 is a better all around camera. (This is definitely not a fair comparison to the 5d2 since I have only used it once.) Specs-wise it does seem like the D700 can also be used for sports as well unlike the 5d2.
Excuse my ignorance, but what kind of sports is it that you feel that I cannot shoot?
