Which 85 - 85L, 85L ii or Sigma 85 1.4?

Hi

I'm in need of an 85mm lens and could do with an opinion on the strengths and weaknesses of each of these three lenses - especially the mk1 Canon compared to the Sigma. I've come across a mint 85L version 1 for a couple of hundred more than a new Sigma but I cannot find enough info on the version one lens to know what the differences between the mki and mkii lenses are and how the mk1 lens compares to the Sigma.

I'm after a portrait lens with the same dreamy/cinematic look I get from the 50 1.2L. Opinions most appreciated.

Thanks

Flashes, AF Assist and focusing in the dark

H
Lately, I've been trying to take wildlife photos in the dark using a radio trigger to power some non-ex flashes. I'm generally shooting subjects about 20m away. It's too dark for my camera to auto focus so I'm manual focusing or pre-focusing on a particular spot. But I'm not getting many keepers. My eye sight isn't the best and I just can't focus accurately or fast enough.

What can I do?

My first thought is to pick up some Canon flashes. I understand that the AF Assist of the ST-E2 isn't very powerful and the 580EXii is better and has more features as a master controller anyway. Therefore, I'm thinking I should pick up a 580EXii (or maybe a Metz 58 AF-2) to use the AF assist, and use this to control a couple of slaves. Does this sound sensible? I've heard that the AF assist on a 580EXii might extend to about 20m. Does that sound right?

Realistically, I'm not going to pick up two or three 600EX RTs. But given that the price difference between the 580EX and the 600EX isnt that big, should I just go for one 600EX and use this as the master controller now and future proof my system? I assume 430EX-RTs aren't that far away?

The ST-E3 lacks AF assist. Am I right in thinking that it won't trigger the AF assist on a 600EX (and even if it could, the lines / grid wouldn't necessarily match my AF points anyway)?

Am I missing something? Is there a simpler or better way to obtain improved night time AF performance?

Bar Mitzvah lighting suggestions

D
My cousin is having is Bar Mitzvah at the end of June, and I was going to be doing some of the photography there, and as my family is all going to be there I'm definitely going to be doing quite a bit of family shots (before, after, possibly other days as well). So, my problem is, of course, lighting. I have the 5d3 that I'll have with me, and I have the 580 EX II currently. The majority of the event (and reception) will be indoors, however with the family shots we might do some out of doors. I was thinking of renting a few speedlites w/RF triggers and stands to put in the corners for the general reception plus perhaps 1 on my camera (not blazing right in their faces), and for some more family shots, bring the stands out to the sides, put my camera on a tripod, and get some even lighting on everyone.

I'm looking to do this on somewhat of a budget (hence renting, prolly from LensRentals.com). Recommendations? Is what I have now probably more than sufficient? I'm honestly more concerned about getting the family shots, since we're basically all going to be together for the first time in forever.

Oh, and since I'm sure some in my family will with prints, whats a good quality (not super pricey tho) online photo printing service? The Walgreens of the world are OK, but even my Pixma Pro 9000 II can print much better prints with a small effort.

Typical Small Camera Question

You know all about them. You have weighed the pros and cons for yourself and for others. Now do it for me.

I have the 5d II and some decent glass. I need something that isn't so sang heavy. I am going on a 3 week trip to the Utah National Parks and don't always want to lug such a heavy camera in the heat.

The contenders:

X10 Relatively small. Good images and zoom. Not really small enough. I would try the X100 but the price feels too high.

S100 or more likely refurbished S95. Smaller and canon. Less expensive too.

Go pro HD2. $240 during REI sale this weekend. Like the versatility and could pick up some accessories as well. Like the idea of waterproof and super small. May be going in the Narrows so the waterproof would be a major plus. Stills not so much.

Micro 4/3 with pancake lens. Hmm I am intrigued but don't know enough. Would image quality be better than the s100 or x10? What about size and cost?

You comments, experience, advice, and even flames are greatly appreciated. :-X

Possible 5D MK3 Annoyances

revup67
Possible Annoyance #1 - While in AF menu, sub menu 4, "Single point AF" cannot be unchecked. As you scroll to uncheck the menu allows all other choices to be unchecked except choice 2, "Single point AF". This is not so with the 7D as you can uncheck and check whichever ones you want. Though on page 100 it does state this option cannot be turned off. Not sure of this logic especially if all I want is Zone Af and Auto Selection as on example.

Possible Bug #2 - Page 236 in the manual it demonstrates how to utilize other features while in Silent Control Mode/Movie Mode such as audio level recording, shutter speed, ISO, EC, and Aperture. I tried but was unable to access these options unless I am actually recording. In speaking with Canon Support (Jeff) he offered a work around and that was: to change Shutter use the M-fn scroll wheel, to change ISO use the ISO button on top of camera, to change the audio recording you must go into the Menu (button) Camera icon #4 choice #4 called Sound recording and change Auto to Manual. Then you will be able to see the audio LED's on the back while in Movie Mode.

Possible Annoyance #3 - after pressing the Q button, the menu lacks any AF point selection choices as with the 7D. Instead we have a less frequently used WB +/- function. Fortunately there is still a small area of blank space next to the Aperture listing that perhaps Canon can squeeze in the AF point choices. Currently the only place to access AF selection is with the upper right button.

600EX RT & ST E3 RT - Radio Stopped Working Issues

I have two 600EX and the ST E3 RT. I've experience various situations (10% of the time) where the radio transmission doesn't work or stopped in the middle of a shoot. I can't exactly replicated it yet, but in all cases the Connect Ready Light on the upper left corner are lit; which should indicate connections are online.

In all cases my batteries are freshly charged, and I don't do consecutive flashes and don't hear beeps. The Radio Transmission stops working sometimes when:

1. I switch from ETTL to Group mode, and setup up a mix of ETTL and Manual, and switch between difference modes even more (I like to experiment!)
2. When my flashes are in sleep mode, I press the shutter button half way to wake them up, then no slave flashes triggering anymore

I fix this by:

1. Sometimes turning the Master or Slave flash off then on again.
2. Or sometimes just unplug and plug the Master into the hot-shoe again.

Possible Cause:

I read the troubleshoot section throughly, and it indicates the slave may not be triggered when the Master is not FULLY plugged into the hot-shoe. So this is possible as replugging the Master does seems to fix it. However this is misleading as:

1. I always lock the hot-shoe, so it "should" be firmly connected.
2. It doesn't explain why sometimes turning the flash off and on again will fix it
3. The ready light is on, which should indicate connections are made
4. Master is fully functioning and flashing still

I'm wondering anyone out there having similar radio connection inconsistency issues.

<strong>3D for the megapixel lover


</strong>The Canon EOS-3D has been a rumored camera since before rumor sites, and every so often a flurry of new rumors under the moniker “EOS-3D” surface.</p>
<p>Recently a suggestion that a new “high megapixel” camera will be around by spring 2013 has come about. It’s reported that at least a couple of test bodies are being used in the US and in Asia.</p>
<p>While I don’t doubt high megapixel sensors are in testing, it’s probably too early to nail down exact specs. I also dislike the name “3D” if a product doesn’t actually shoot 3D.</p>
<p>Another suggestion is the 1D C isn’t going to be the only Cinema EOS DSLR by the end of 2013.</p>

4K to spend and I don't know what to do with it!!!

So the money has finally come in and now its time to make some purchases. My wife is just starting wedding photography and I'm the one that researches the gear to make wise purchases. She has done one extremely small wedding (50 people very very laid back) and this is what we had at the time.

Canon 60D
Canon 50 f/1.4
Canon ef-s 18-135
speedlight 430 ex ii

This wedding season we have 3 weddings lined up. I know we were lucky to get away with one body the first time through but I don't want to take that chance again and I know having a second body would be nice (dont have to change lenses 100 times). So I'm looking to buy a second body and a lens or two and I have around 4K.

I know that primes have the best IQ and really low f-stops which are great for weddings but considering my wife is just getting going I think quality L zooms would in the end provide the best results.

So my question is which body should I get? And which zoom lenses should I get?

I was thinking a 5D mark II, and a 16-35mm f/2.8 II L and then some other lens. What do you guys think?

p.s. the total doesn't have to be 4k exactly. No more then 4.5K though.

Disappointed with Canon Malaysia

D
Anyone else from Malaysia here?

I recently bought an L lens during the canon roadshow and is really disappointed at how Canon is handling the delivery. They kept changing the delivery date. Before I made the purchase they promised that it would be delivered within 3 working days as they have plenty of stock but I had to pay in full. However, they never bothered to call me on the day it should be delivered and now they kept telling me a week after another.

I can't understand such a reputable company as canon can't even tell me the exact delivery date. We are in a world where information is king. Totally frustrated and irritated about this. Should have gone to the dark side instead of buying the 5DmkIII.

Which body to sell?

I have a (boo hiss) video dilemma

I currently have a 7D, a 550D and just bought a 600D. I like to have 2 cams for a video shoot (saves switching lenses, also gives me two POV interviews) so am going to keep the 600D and sell one of the others.

But which do I keep? The 550D (means consistent batterys and memory, same ISO stops etc) and lose out on the stills performance of the 7D, or keep the 7D for the rare days I do sports photography and sell the 550D?

I love the 7D, but do would I miss it more than the 550D? More cash freed up, and keeps all my kit the same (batts and SD's) hmm hmm hmm

Or do I sell both and buy a second 600D or even a 60D?

Split ND Filters

G
Currently I use a B&W Split ND filter, and am quite happy with it. In fact all my filters are B&W and I have no complaints.

However, I remember years ago I also had Cokin filters for B&W and split ND. The obvious advantage for split ND was the ability to move the horizon. When I look at those old slides (mostly shot with my old 28-70 L lens), I don't see any degredation in IQ.

However, I was wondering with new model digital cameras is there a loss of IQ by putting a cheap piece of plastic in front of your $1,500 lens? I've always used the B&W filters because the provide the least degredation to IQ, but what are your thoughts on Cokin?

Point & Shoot?...

Hi gang,

I've spent the day researching point and shoot cameras as i want something a little smaller than my 5dii to carry around for social occasions (nights out on the town etc).

There are so many options out there it makes my head hurt but i've been looking at the following:
Fuji x100
Ricoh GR digital IV
Canon S100

What do you guys use when you can't be bothered lugging around your DSLR's?

Canon EF 35mm 1'4L USM or 50mm 1'2L USM for weddings

T
So, if you are using fix lenses, what is better solution for weddings:

Canon EF 35mm 1'4L USM or Canon EF 50mm 1'2L USM

Thank you!

Modified:

So, my whole story is...I build the sistem around 5D mark III. I already have body, 70-200mm 2'8L IS and 7D as second body. I intend to buy 24-70mm 2'8L II as an universal zoom. Now I have 24-105mm 4L IS which I going to sell.

I siriously thinking about one or two solutions for really bad light, the options are 35mm 1'4L, 50mm 1'2L and 85mm 1'2L II. For photgraphy and video.

At first I am a wedding photographer. But I often work some studio concerts or performances in small halls. So always in low light. The distance to performer are from 2 to 15 meters. And I have to cover the whole stage with performers and also some portraits and details.

I have to mention very important facts: I will work a lot of video. Weddings and indor men's gymnastics world cup contests.

So, any experiance or advices?

Thank you!

500D to 5D Mark III

Jordansternphotography
I've recently upgraded my kit from a Canon 500D, 10-22 and the 17-55 to the new 5D Mark III, 16-35 and 24-105. Here are my first impressions...

It is amazing! It's so responsive and easy to use. The autofocus is ridiculously fast, even in low light. The viewfinder is huge, and the image quality is incredible. The first night I got it I exclusively shot at 12800 ISO inside in low light. Noise is visible when zoomed in, but non at all obtrusive. I seriously think that 12800 on the 5D Mark III is a bit better than 1600 on the T1i! So for everything other than landscapes on a tripod, I've left it on Auto ISO in aperture priority mode.
The noise performance is amazing, but I kind of expected that (based on early reviews). What I did not AT ALL expect, however, was the overall sharpness and clarity of the photos. I have to say this was what surprised me the most. I shot everything in raw. When I zoomed into 100% it still looked like a normally sharp photo! You can barely see any difference in sharpness between that magnification and zoomed back out. - I still can't believe it.
Also, the feel of the camera is great too. It's really ergonomic and just feels right in my hands.
It's hard to describe how good this camera is. I think that when you put all of these great features (like 61 point autofocus, 6fps, noise performance, image sharpness etc...) together into this one body, the camera becomes really special. All these features work together to make the camera way better than what you see on the spec sheet.

Another thing adding to this surreal experience is the two L lenses that I bought with the 5D. The 24-105 f4 and the 16-35 f2.8 II. I don't care that the 24-105 is only f4 and not 2.8 because the ISO easily makes up for that lost stop on the 5D. The background blur is also easily achievable given the compression at 105mm and nature of a full frame sensor. The 16-35 is great too. It's equivalent to what my 10-22 was giving me on my T1i, but it's 2.8 which makes it even nicer.
Both of these lenses are built amazingly and are a huge jump up in terms of build quality from the 17-55 f2.8 and the 10-22. The focus and zoom rings are so smooth and they feel like they can withstand some abuse while shooting.


I can't wait to go out and keep shooting with all this amazing new gear!

Just took these shots with the 5D Mark III and the 16-35 II last night:

Silent Control Feature on the 5D Mark III - bit confusing but here's how

revup67
I'm not sure how many of you have had a chance to explore some of the video features this camera at such an early stage but they are fantastic. One via the Menu (at least from my perspective) however was a bit befuddling at first attempts. This feature is called Silent Control. In order to access this menu the camera must be in Live View first as you cannot find this option in the normal still image menu area. Once in Live View, jump to Menu 1 (with the camera icon), then the 5th (final sub menu). There you will see 3 choices. Use the rear Dial to go to choice 2, Silent Control, and choose "Enable". Tap the Shutter release button so you are back in Live View and press the Stop/Start button to begin recording (yes you must begin to record to access this next feature). Next press the Q button while recording and you will see a new menu come up (the options in this this new menu depends on whether you are in P, Av, Tv or M - M mode offers the most choices) or see owner's manual page 236 for what is enabled here or disabled. From there you can literally tap the Top, Left, Right or Bottom of the rear Dial to change any setting such as ISO, Aperture, Shutter, Exposure & Sound.

Hope this helps everyone.
