    Zeiss Otus 28mm f1.4 vs Canon 35mm f1,4 L MK2 ???

    Yes I know, I had at it and it is great ... Well I guess the only thing is Zeiss making up this incomparable Best Wide Angle Lens Ever for DSLR stuff made me expect some more than the real performance, which is still very good but that is expected for a 5k USD lens ...

    Canon 11-24mm or not?

    11-24 is way better corrected than the 16-35 at 16mm to 20mm while sharpness is about equal : http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/ISO-12233-Sample-Crops.aspx?Lens=949&Camera=453&Sample=0&FLI=0&API=0&LensComp=977&CameraComp=453&SampleComp=0&FLIComp=3&APIComp=0...

    Canon 11-24mm or not?

    11-24mm is the best UWA in the Canon System ... Only reason not to use it, is you need f2.8, then you should go with the equally impressive Tamron 15-30mm ... Problem about defishing is that the rendered frame is extremely wide (somewhere like 140-180 Deg of view on the diagonal) and you...

    Zeiss Otus 28mm f1.4 vs Canon 35mm f1,4 L MK2 ???

    Does anyone own both lens and can compare them performance wise. On TDP the Canon 35mm f1.4 L MK2 seems to perform way better at f1.4 than the Zeiss...

    Announcing The Canon EOS-1D X Mark II

    Usually they are quite good at getting this stuff early at least to show it around even if getting it will take a lot more time. Don't know where you are going but the one at Osaka Umeda was especially nice.

    Announcing The Canon EOS-1D X Mark II

    Looks like a great "tool camera for sport pros, warzones and pro wildlife shooters" maybe even the best that ever was as it just does everything the 1dx 1dc did a bit better ... For ppl coming from the 5d3/5DsR direction I guess it is not what they wanted or expected as it is just not sth like a...

    The Canon EOS-1D X Mark II Specifications?

    If the 1dxII ISO 51200 is as good as the 5DsR ISO 6400 that would be absolutely awesome 12800 and 25600 would be perfectly usable then. Maybe Canon starts to give usable ISO numbers and not technical ISO values with no real world application (basically everything above ISO 12800 on current...

    Phase One Announces 100MP Sony Co-Developed Medium Format Back

    Well as you already need a quite high spec Mac Pro or PC to effectively work with these files I guess the 3-5k for some serious data storage (16-32 TB) should not be any problem ... One always needs to remember that the price of the P1 system is way higher than what they ask for the cam (lenses...

    NISI Filter Solution for Canon 11-24mm f4.0 L ? Did someone try it yet ?

    Since the new NiSi 180mm square filter solution for the 11-24mm f4.0 seems to be the only working solution on that lens to go as wide as 11mm without any vignetting (claim by Nisi !) I would like to know if there are already some opinions about this system ? As the whole thing is somehow quite...

    Important: EU law to limit freedom of photography on the way

    Re: This story is false and part of an anti-EU campaign However it still holds the problem that you as private person may not ever sell a picture (including prints) of cities bc. that is clearly commercial - even if the building is just minor part(e.g the skyline of London or Paris or...

    Important: EU law to limit freedom of photography on the way

    Re: This story is false and part of an anti-EU campaign Sorry but you do not realize that "works" refers to all architectural works as well - meaning every building constructed in the last 70 years which is not only an engineered construction but for which an architect made a design. It also...
