• UPDATE



    The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being.

    I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure.

Best price on canon 11- 24 L lens...? $2799?

One of my most unused lens.
I found it good for certain shots as it gives you a completely different perspective.
It's very heavy and the bulbous front end would make you nervous.
The absence of a complete solution to fully use filters is a disadvantage.
It's certainly sharp.
I could see it would be useful for real estate photography.
I use the 16-35mm F4 usually for wide angle work -a really good lens.

I totally get that statement, the 16-35 f/4L was my most used money making lens (commercial real estate and property management) this past fall and early winter.

I took advantage of that refurb sale as well and agree (thanks for the heads up!! Been waiting for the price to be right for a while now ;D )

I've only had the chance to shoot in my living quarters but I have to say 11mm makes rooms look HUGE. I almost feel as if 14mm-16mm provides more of a natural perspective for larger areas. But 11mm will be great for those tight spaces and closets...

Now for a nice enough day to see how it does outside :o

Indeed.
One of my first shots, of course was to try out 11mm.

It elongated my already long, narrow kitchen that while it looked cool, really distorted reality on how it really did look.

I think, however, I'm going to really have fun exploring the 11mm or so range and try to come up with artistic uses for it...not so much for real estate, but just for fun artistic things.

I have shot a good number of concerts here in New Orleans, at JazzFest and Voodoo Fest...and when I'm close to stage in pits, I've used my old 14mm Rokinon to get some good classic long poses on artists...great for when the guitarist is hitting the effects pedals and you catch that elongated 60's type look.

I'm anxious to try this puppy out on stage shots like that...

And looking to find neat uses for it too...composition will be a challenge, but hey...isn't the challenge about half the fun of it?

Thanks again to all!!
