EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: Canon 5D Mrk II & 500D Image Question

« on: June 25, 2012, 09:41:15 AM »

What about "automatic lighting optimization" and maybe "highlight tone priority" settings? Did you include the 1.6 crop factor too? Cuz if not maybe the 500D just sees a different image and thus meters differently.

Sometimes the autofocus just misses. I took a photo of my friend sitting on a bench with the focus point on her face. But my camera still set the background sharp and not her. Dont ask me why Oh and i also took shots after midnight in the streets outside and my lens didnt focus at all even under the streetlamps ha!

The bike shot just got movement blur cuz shutter speed was 2 low

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: 5DIII same ISO performance as 5DII

« on: June 23, 2012, 03:44:07 AM »

without vignetting is ±30.5mm x 30.5mm.

Why do we care about vignetting at capture?  Why not have a 43mm square sensor, and just accept major vignetting at capture, but you've got the entire image circle. 

If the viewfinder doesnt become square too it can get really annoying to "fix" ur composition of every photo by cropping. Plus i personally dont wanna crop every photo post.

ISO Performance is probably the biggest improvement of the 5D MK3

In a theatre it is still too loud even using single shot. I would be interested in knowing if the 5DIII is quieter

Just wrap some pullover around ur camera

In a year or two if work treats me decently I'll probably upgrade to a 5DIII, the camera hit about 99.9% of everything I wanted it to be, and if I could afford it (fat chance), I'd seriously consider switching to Lieca after thorough test driving, it appears to suit my style better for photo only purposes, I've looked into just about every other system in the same range, and nothing else does it for me.

Yeah i also wish i had a Leica. M9 monochrome to be exact Its just too damn expensive for me. Probably I could save for a M9 Body but oh well then i gotta pay the same price or even more for a lens

Well my conclusion is....no changes in the near future.

35mm f/2.0 lens is any good? Probably the only other lens i will buy before going fullframe. Just remember i like to shoot at wide open usually. Maybe 35mm 1.4L makes more sense?

I only got the 50mm 1.8 II. Perhaps i will just buy the 35mm f/2.0 (is it any good?) and then leave it like that until i buy a fullframe camera. I dont need a tele lens.

I just wonder if Canon will release another fullframe body. The 5D Mark 3 is waaay more expensive than the 5D MK 2. Nearly 1500 Euro difference.  And its a difference for me to save up money like that. Was the 5D mk2 also that damn expensive when it was released?! Im not going fullframe soon, so im 99,9% sure mk2 will be sold out everywhere when i wanna upgrade.

Lenses / 50mm 1.2L + 24mm 1.4L on crop body?

« on: June 08, 2012, 07:02:41 AM »

Hi there,

sorry for opening up another thread about the 50mm 1.2L. I searched around a little and didnt find the answer i was looking for.

I got a Rebel body cuz my philosophy always was that one day i will go full frame anyway so i better buy good lenses first, body second. I bought the 1100D cuz it delivers the same image quality like the other crop bodys from canon and thats all what i care for.

So far i just got a 50mm 1.8II and im quite happy with it but i think the bokeh looks really harsh.  I never use it smaller than f/2.8.

I was thinking about buying the 50mm 1.2L and i wanna know if that works out on a crop body or if the 1.2L only starts to shine on full frame?

Same applies to the 24mm 1.4L. Makes sense to buy it for my crop body? I like the wider view i can get from it. I dont need a really super wide lens cuz im just doing portraits. And im just a bokeh addict

Oh and i just dont like zooms. I dont know why....even when i was just using a Finepix point and shoot and had no ideas about rule of thirds n stuff.....i always refused to use the zoom on it. Just dont like it.

So my basic question: L Lenses make sense on a crop body?

p.s.

i dont mind it probably gonna balance out badly with the 1100D. Im just a hobbyist. Dont HAVE TO carry my camera all day. Well and im not so weak

Hope somebody here got a crop body and the named lenses and can give me some more insight.

Maybe even sample pictures?! Would be much appreciated.
