Lenses / Re: Canon 24-70/2.8L II is official delayed - again

« on: September 01, 2012, 12:49:46 PM »

From the spects I never felt so confident about a lens like about the 24-70/2.8L II.
Can't wait to receive it - in September, October, whatsoever.

i also own the 16-35 f/2.8 II and corner performance to me is a real issue with this lens. i would love to see a mark III with this resolved. i would love to see a 14-24 f/2.8 too, but the missing front filter possibility would be a drawback...

Lenses / Re: downward pressure on EF 24-70mm f/2.8 USM L pricing, Tamron's version tests well

corner performance seems to be an issue with the tamron lens - this can be expected looking at the mft charts and test charts at the-digital-picture confirm this - even though i'm not sure these are the final results. corner to corner performance of the canon mark I is better. corner performance of the canon mark II must be awesome - if the mft charts are for real.

Lenses / Re: EF 20mm f1.8L VS. EF 14-24 f4L

I would probably want to get an EF 14-24 f/2.8L if its image quality is an improvement over the EF 16-35 f/2.8 II. The latter is a little weak in IQ in the corners and at the long end.

Macro / Happy posing...

I just wanted to make the point that the appearance of a Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM made this guy happily pose...

5D MK III Sample Images / Re: 5D MK III Images

two images taken with my eos 5d mark III. I very much like the camera for its much improved ruggedness, lcd display and foremost its really excellent and dramatically more accurate auto focus system. i have a much better connect to the mark III than the mark II - ergonomically... pictures shot at 800 and 3200 (!) iso, post edit in LR4.

Lovely pictures! What is the deal with the pin holding the shell of the pupa? Also what lens did you use?

these pictures were taken at a nearby market garden where they pinned pupas to breed butterflies. the one on the top eclosed just a short while before the picture was taken. i used the canon macro lens EF 100mm 1:2.8 L IS
