Does anyone know when it might be released/pricing? I too am very interested in this lens!
Probably around March.
Another option instead of using Adobe DNG Converter - try Import to Lightroom as DNG.
When you import to Lightroom you can just choose 'Copy as DNG'. Lightroom converts to DNG as it imports your photos.
Then you can easily open, edit, merge, etc your images straight from Lightroom to Photoshop CS5 without the ACR problems.
Just remember to check the Lightroom prefs for DNG Conversion compatibility so, it matches whichever version of Camera Raw you have - i.e. Camera Raw 6.6 for CS5.
Also, look at the 'Embed Original Raw' option. Embedding keeps another copy of the raw file inside the DNG so, there'd be basically two copies of your photo in each DNG - which of course, means huge DNG files. I'd leave this off and just keep my original CR2s in an archive backup somewhere safe and just use normal non-embedded DNGs as my working image files.
Don't Export it. Select your image to be edited in PS in the Lightroom Library module, on the top menu bar go Photo:Edit In:Edit in Photoshop CS5.5, you will then get the dialogue box pictured below. Click the "Render using Lightroom" box and the Lightroom RAW engine will render the image, not ACR for PS.That's what I have been doing. I should have been more clear. I can't open as smart object, merge to panorama, merge to HDR or open as layers from Lightroom to PS.
I recently moved into a new apartment, here's an HDR panorama of one of the new bedrooms, shot with a 5DIII + 24L II. I believe there were a total of 12 frames - 4 sets of 3 frames (-2.3, 0, +2.3) converted into 4 32-bit tiff files, then reprocessed in ACR and photomerged via PSCS6:
I upgraded from the 7D to the 6D. The 7D is still great, but I needed high ISO performance for events, and the 6D does not disappoint. In low light, it basically becomes a 1 point AF DSLR, but that one point grabs focus like a tractor beam. For my style, FF is the way to go.
What about the AF
I have both a 7D and 6D. The 7D autofocus is of course better, but I find the 6D AF good enough for 95% of the things I shoot. That said, I don't do much wildlife or sports photography, mostly kids/family, landscapes and event photography. The 6D AF is fine for almost everything except for fast and erratically moving subjects.
Agree with the above.
HDR is simply a method to obtain more detail in shadow and highlight areas than a standard single exposure would allow.
For some reason, along the way, it's been hijacked to create hideous cartoon-like pictures that bear no resemblance to a photo.
