    why there are no new L primes

    Hi i'm considering to buy some new fast prime lenses for my 5D III However Canon has left behind their L primes update, since there is no new 35L 50L 85L 135L replacements, and the 24L II isn't quite the sharpest lens wide open.

    Hi, i'm making a beginning to the wedding industry on my own. I've been quite experienced with the 5D and 5D2 and a bunch of crop bodies. The one i love in FF is the adorable DOF they create which is the best way to isolate your subject in front of the chaotic background. I'll keep my crop...
