First L Lens... OH MY #^(*^!& GOD

24L II > 35L

True that.

L glass is the truth! Once you start shooting with that it's very hard to go back to anything standard or point and shoot. I have the 70-200 2.8L II, 24-70 2.8L I, 16-35mm 2.8L, and 35mm 1.4L. I love them all!

Can you compare to the T3i/7D? Will 6400 on the 5D3 be better than 1600 on T3i/T2i/7D?

From my own experience 5d 6400 looks a lot like 7d's 1600. So I think you 'll be happy with what you ll get!

+1. Im almost willing to say that ISO 6400 on the 5D3 when processed and downscaled, looks like ISO 800 on the 7D.

You know what they say, once you go L, you never go back. Or something like that.

Noah,
I love the mood of that shot!

See you at the CLub!

[caoko]

is it just me, or do I see two test charts?

You do. One is his 28mm, the other his new 24L

interesting. why does the op own a test chart?

The 24 1.4L II is a gret lens. Forget the zooms

Zooms have their place too. For instance the 70-200 2.8II is arguably the best zoom Canon has made so far. Probably rivals some good primes.

70-200 2.8 II is amazing.

Forget the zooms? Yeah, ok............

prime is the way to go. My only zoom lens is the 70-200 2.8 is II.

 

[Daniel Flather]

Trouble is, now that you have tasted the best, it's hard to work with the rest...

PW

The OP can still buy the 200/2 to beat the 24/1.4

Well I shoot college sports and weddings, so that would be quite restrictive for me at least.

New 24-70 mrk II could be THE LENS too

I shoot almost only weddings. Works great for me. I have very little experience with sports.

No, at that focal length, i need the thin DoF of a 1.4 lens. The zoom could be as sharp as the 24 1.4 stopped down to 5.6, and it wouldn't matter for me.

Oh no, I agree. I know many photographers who shoot only primes at weddings. I just happen to shoot my weddings with a photojournalistic aspect, because of my sports background, and I am not able to do that with only primes. I'm constantly running around and zooming in and out

My favorite prime is the 24L, but my second favorite is 200L. My most used prime is the 50L.

I love my 85 more than life itself.

That baby is gunna rock. The only thing is the 16-35 will need to be replaced with a 14-24L.
