I hope you all enjoy my test and it helps you to make your decision.

Lenses / Re: Wide Angle for Crop and FF?

« on: September 10, 2012, 10:07:46 PM »

I'd recommend buying a 10-22 for now, and once you get a FF, get a FF lens. 
......
Besides, by the time you go FF, Canon may have a new wide lens that you will want for your FF body.

+1 the resale value is pretty good on the 10-22...

I have the 10-22 and think it is great...  i tried a Tonika, but i found i just wanted the extra range the canon offered. I usually shoot landscapes with it, so 2.8 isn't needed!  save up, it has great resale value!

Sensors and bodies will come and go, but great glass could last you a career.

Couldn't agree more...  Isn't this what everyone says, all the time...  sure nikon is winning the war on bodies at the moment, but i doubt Canon will lag for long!  It is an arms race after all!

Third Party Manufacturers / Re: A potential Tamron 24-70 problem

« on: September 10, 2012, 11:51:39 AM »

Thanks for the information.  I will keep my eyes on it.  The good thing is Tamron provide 6 years warranty for repair and adjustment.

6 years....  and it is better than the 24-70 I, has IS and is cheaper....  depending on how often this happens, i don't think it has put me off too much...  not that i'm in the market to buy one any time soon!

Third Party Manufacturers / Re: Samyang 24mm f/3.5 Tilt-Shift Announced

« on: September 10, 2012, 11:48:31 AM »

As soon as i saw this i was excited... If they pitch it for sub 1k $, and the quality of the lens is what we expect from a Samyang lens I think they will be on for a winner.

Lets hope it isn't DOA! though i would presume a tilt-shift has more room for errors then a normal lens...  here's hoping Samyang pulls it off well and at a good price!

Lenses / Re: A New EF 400 f/5.6L Before Photokina? [CR1]

« on: September 10, 2012, 09:42:11 AM »

i would like to see both a new 100-400 and 400 is....  debating which one will be better at this stage is mute.... to me it would only make sense that they released the 400 is first, with a big improvement in IQ, then released the 100-400 6 months later with a better than current but not as good as the prime IQ... or if the prime was in fact a couple of hundred bucks cheaper!

ANY news is better than none! Bring it on! Will be interesting how well it will do vs the d800...  really canon will have no excuse not to seriously out do it !

EOS Bodies / Re: Announcements Before Photokina

« on: September 10, 2012, 05:03:12 AM »

6/7/70D - any or all of them, I just want an announcement! I'm keeping hold of my beat up and temperamental 450D till it dies or a fantastic offer comes along.... So i don't care which is announced now, they won't be reachable for months anyway!

One thing is clear, canon needs to put a stop to (or at least slow) the tide of "Nikon bodies are better"!

You could get lower to the ground and use the sky as a giant White seamless. I've used that many times before.

+1 would make a very interesting angle too if you don't mind getting in close (i would be scared to hell, but since your job appears to be horse orientated, i guess you're fine with them).
