Canon EOS 5DS Samples With Sigma ART Prime Lenses

[Canon Rumors]

<p>Apparently PhotographyBLOG hasn’t yet put down the production version of the Canon EOS 5DS, as they’ve posted another 93 jpgs and 20 RAW files taken with it. This time they used nothing but Sigma ART series prime lenses, the 24mm f/1.4, 35mm f/1.4 and 50mm f/1.4. You can <a href="http://www.photographyblog.com/previews/canon_eos_5ds_sigma_24mm_35mm_50mm_photos/" target="_blank">view the gallery here</a>.</p>
<p>Shipping for the Canon EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R is a week away, and we expect initial quantities to be low.</p>

Finally they got hold of some decent lenses. I also own these three, it's looking really good or at least way better than the last ones they posted, taken with the 50 1.8. BRB, fumbling around with the raws now.

 

[lichtmalen]

Just looked at some of the raws, the level of detail is a-freaking-mazing. Check out the one of the Sunglasses, the reflection in the topmost glass is crisp-clear. The feathers of the ducklings are also very detailed. Finally some decent pictures, makes me wanna slam on my Arts as soon as I get hold of the 5Ds.

Ut oh. If my friend does not get his with the first batch he will be impossible to be around. ;D

He is like a kid before Christmas.

 

[firegs]

and we expect initial quantities to be low.

Where are you getting this information, CR?

 

[Andyx01]

Lets show off an ultra high res sensor by taking diffraction limited pictures. Wtf - for real?

 

[Deleted member 7828]

Not bad. Some impressive levels of detail in the building shot(s).

I still seem to prefer the images out of the R version - seem to have more "punch" to them. In fact at the higher ISOs you could apply significant noise reduction and still have a high level of detail remaining (the images clean up nicely). That helps make up *somewhat* for the worse high ISO performance vs. the 5D3...

I only looked at one image, taken at f/16. CA's and purple fringing were horrible. A lens should not be doing that when stopped down to f/16.

Then I looked at one taken at f/4. plenty of purple fringing there, but the ugly bokeh made me almost seasick.

Finally, I looked at the one with the mustard in it. There should be no sunlight to cause purple fringing, or bright lights coming thru the tree to give ugly bokeh. But, nothing is in focus. The mustard is sort of focused. The focus point must be in front of everything.

 

[R1-7D]

Man, looking at these sample shots is a trip. I was literally just there.

My images are pretty close to the ones taken by the 5DS. Gives a little bit of a comparison in details of gained detail using the 50 MP sensor compared to the 1DX's 18 MP.

The detail from that sensor is incredible. It's quite the camera. I would love to try one out for a weekend. I don't think it could replace my 1DX, but it'd be nice to have as a side camera!

I played with some RAW in Adobe RAW. Very impressed with the files. The files can take a TON of manipulation without falling apart. But I will wait to see what 5d4 has to offer before buying. Unless of course there is a demand for rental of this camera.

 

[Luds34]

I only looked at about a half dozen, but I think I could agree that the focus may be off on a shot or two, as I for sure saw it on at one I looked at. However, some of the shots were very impressive, the detail, etc. For example, the shots of the daiseys (I believe?) was impressive.

 

[Hjalmarg1]

This time they used nothing but Sigma ART series prime lenses, the 24mm f/1.4, 35mm f/1.4 and 50mm f/1.4.

Very few lenses can deal with this very high resolution in terms of microcontrast to provide great images. We may also include the latest Canon L lenses (e.g. 24-70L II, 70-200L IS II, 85L, 300L II) and few standard primes (e.g. 35f2 IS).

 

[toni999]

seriously I don't think those are good examples to show this cameras ability.
Not a typical street set up, far to heavy, and the risk to get it stolen or lost.

If you want to show how this camera works get some people and show if their eyes are infocus and sharp.
Probably with professional light setup to match the camera.
Those pictures are probably better taken with a smartphone.

Besides I'm not impressed by the bokeh.

 

[Moulyneau]

Looking at the pictures I guess the objective here is to show how not to use the 5ds
Shooting at 1.8 without serious afma or at 1/60 come on...!

 

[Maximilian]

Sometimes, when I think about the possibilities but also the effort one must take to get the best out of these high resolution, high precission sensors and cameras, I feel like back in the beginning of photography.
(Don't take this too serious. And looking at some of these example pictures tells me that there was not enough effort)

Everything has to be fixed, equipment and subject. You need a lot of light no matter how sensible the sensor is. You need very high shutter speeds. Remember back when they were almost anytime using flash powder. Luckily today it's not that dangerous anymore. Think about using potassium permanganate and magnesium.

I can understand that a lot of you want to achieve these high resolution results and I am also fascinated about what is possible. But the freedom in capturing the moment when it happens that was developed by the progress of modern photo equipment is more important to me.

But I highly anticipate the results of those who choose the freedom for the use of this high resolution equipment.
Most important: Have fun! Whatever and however you take pictures of.

I would love to see someone post some samples from these two bodies with the Zeiss OTUS 55 and 85mm lenses. The Zeiss 135mm f2.0, the 15mm, and Canon's own 50mm 1.2L, the Canon 135mm 2.0L, and some birds with Canon's 600mm and 400mm. A few with their new 400mm f4.0 DO IS also. Let's get some real serious glass that can handle all that Resolution. (The Sigma Art series are wonderful lenses, especially at their respective price points, but I don't think they were designed to be used with what essentially is medium-format resolution.

 

[firegs]

I'm dying to see the 16-35 f/4L on this beast.

 

[PureClassA]

f/16 is (to me) an unacceptable aperture to really show off any lens or camera. Diffraction limitations are diffraction limitations. I haven't run across a lens whose resolution doesn't drop like a lead weight past f/11.

I own two of the ARTs. 50 & 35. They are amazing wide open but the sweet spot is f/5.6. f/4 and f/8 also excellent. f/11 not so much and f/16 is a mess by comparison.

 

[Shugarmandesign]

Has every single person forgotten about the sharpest and best lens to test on this, sun 5 digit prices...?

I'm getting my 5Ds R on Friday and the first lens that's being mounted is my Canon 180mm f3.5L Macro.

I absolutely cannot wait to produce amazing samples, with that lens. Not to say I wouldn't love to see samples with it this very moment!

 

[lichtmalen]

New pictures now, with the EF 100mm Macro.

CR Guy, please don't make another news posting about that. They are not worth it. Again, stupid apertures like f/16 where diffraction ruins anything and mediocre raw processing.

I'm dying to see the 16-35 f/4L on this beast.

Relax. I hope I'll get mine soon, first thing I'll do is -real- high quality samples with all my lenses and also detail and iso-wise comparisons with the Mark III.
