Third Party Manufacturers / Re: sigma 85 1.4 focus problem

« on: February 27, 2013, 01:37:39 AM »

Sigma's 50 and 85 1.4 do for some reason not cope well with the full frame cameras. I had a 50 once and its focus was completely off, and even differently when focusing in near or far distance so you couldn't fix it by manual alignment via the camera menu. Sigma can certainly adjust that for you, but you might need to send in your body as well so they can adjust the lens to your body specifically.

Two things - first, I don't think that the 100L has more weather sealing than the 135L

Well then think again, the 100L is dust and water isolated while the 135L is not. So I would rather let it come down to it! It's clearly stated in the specsheets on Canon's official german website, strangely not on their english one, but just go ahead and google 100mm weather isolated and 135mm weather isolated.

Btw you can check your lens for weather sealing if you just look at the mount of it, when it has that small rubber ring around the mount it's isolated. I just compared my 135 and 100 and guess what I found...

I mainly use the 135L now for portrait work but when it's a cold and wet weather like today, I pull out that weather isolated 100L and are also satisfied

Excellent shots with the mk III. Must be cold in the snowy winter. Is it take her coat off for 3 minutes, grab some shots, then put the coat back on and heat up in the car? Surely the model can only take so much.

Yup it works somehow like that. Actually it wasn't even That cold that day. Shot again today in the snow and fcuk it, THAT was cold. See results later.

Lenses / Re: What are Canon's sharpest lenses?

« on: February 21, 2013, 12:02:05 PM »

According to traumflieger.de (a very well known german page for anything gear) the sharpest lenses are in that order:

180mm Macro
200mm 2.0L
400mm 2.8L
Sigma 105mm Macro
Canon 300mm 2.8L

Tokina 100mm Macro, Canon 100mm Macro and 70-200 2.8 are not far beyond. So mainly the longer focal lengths are the sharpest with the two exception 8-15mm Fisheye and 24-70 II.
