    16-35 and 70-200 a Good Combo to Call it a Day With?

    I use my 24 mm f/1.4 ii the most, second is the 135 mm f/2, I like the 14mm f/2.4 and the 100 – 400 ii. I do use the 50 mm 1.8 sometimes. For me if I get another lens it would be the 24 – 70 mm. I just don’t know if I would get the f/2.8 or the f/4. Because I have enough fast lenses, I...

    Time for a 24mm Prime...To Get, Sigma or Canon?

    Ahsanford here is a picture of the sky at 1.4 and a blurred one of my pond at 1.4 taken at the same time of day. I notice the sky but don’t notice the corners darkening in the pond. That is what I meant. Here is a picture of the night sky taken with the 14 mm at f/2.5 ISO - 500 and 25 sec. and...

    Time for a 24mm Prime...To Get, Sigma or Canon?

    I have the Canon 24 mm 1.4 ii and love it. It is my most used lens. I use it for sports, shooting at and in the crowds. Low light in restaurants, at family dinners. I also use the 24mm when shooting home movies, setting up and letting it do its thing, auto focusing etc. The 77mm filter size...

    What's Not Coming in 2018?

    MrFotoFool I was waiting for the 7D Mark III. No longer interested. Had 2 7D mark ii’s. After getting the first one wet at the Formula 1 in Montreal, I had to replace it. Decided to get another 7D Mark ii. I really liked the machine gun action when shooting sports. The downside was only...

    Patent: A New Canon EF 14mm 2.8L Optical Formula

    I'm really happy with my Rokinon 14mm 2.4 manual lens and am no longer interested in a Canon 14mm to replace it. I have the Canon 24mm 1.4 ii for landscapes that I like a lot. The seagull stars are horrible for night shots though with the coma of the Canon. Canon would charge a lot of money to...

    Anyone kept their 6d since upgrading to a 5d4?

    Sold my 7D Mark ii when I bought the 5D4. I really liked the 7D ii but found I wasn't using it much once I started to use the 5D4. I like my wide angle lens and they are great on the 5D4.

    Zeiss Reports Record Revenue & Earnings, Who Needs AF?

    I would love to own one prime Zeiss Lens. I have other Zeiss products that I am extremely happy with. I had Nikon & Garrett binoculars that I bought and sold because the smaller Zeiss were that much better at giving me the resolution that I needed whether night or daylight. I bought the Rokinon...

    Where is the Sigma 14mm F1.8?

    I also bought the Rokinon 14mm F/2.4 instead of waiting for the Sigma. I'm very happy with its performance.

    Rokinon SP 14mm 2.4

    I too found the shots to be dark when looking at them. Once I clicked on them though they came up and were just right. I also liked the cityscape. I will be thinking of getting this lens after your review. Thanks Bill.

    Searching: Monopod for birding & fast-click-removable strap for camera

    I use a monopod for when I go to the F-1 races and for birding. I second using twist locks, I’ve found that once flip locks start to go I can’t trust them. Had that with a monfrotto 55C tripod and hated them. When it was subzero out one of the flip locks would always fail. PWP it appeared to be...

    What's your "lens that won't be made"

    My lens would be the 35 – 85mm f/2 with not more than a 77mm filter. This would go nice with a 16 – 35mm canon lens. If canon could make it faster and still keep the filter size at 77mm that would be wonderful. I use the EF 135mm f/2L USM lots and feel that this would complement the 135 when I...

    buying advice: get a 135mm f2, or use existing 70-200mm f2.8?

    I shot a hockey game between the Islanders & Flames, Islanders won 2-1. I made the shot at f/2, IOS 640 & 1/5000 sec on my 135 L with the 7D mark11. I also used my 1.4x111 extender though not on this shot. That was all I needed for the game. Nothing wrong with a zoom, I just like the size of the...
