I picked up a canon 16-35mm f/2.8 L II today. I’ve had a 17-40mm L for a while now and it’s a fantastic lens. There are 2 reasons for the 16-35 though; it’s one stop faster, and it’s 1mm wider. That doesn’t seem like much, but I’ve noticed I’ve been shooting the fisheye a lot […]

Well I picked a new lens today. I’ve had a canon 28mm f/1.8 for a while now and I’ve been unhappy with it’s AF. I picked up the canon 24mm f/1.4 L to replace it. It’s a wonderful lens, but it’s much bigger and heavier. The focus is lightning quick and the IQ is amazing, […]

Picked up at canon 17-40mm f4 L. I’m not happy with my Sigma 12-24mm on the FF. It was the perfect lens on the 1.3 bodies, but it’s too wide and not sharp enough for FF IMHO. I also tend to only shoot it at 12mm with certainly doesn’t help. We’ll see how the 17-40L […]

Picked up at canon 15mm fisheye lens today. I’m contemplating selling the sigma 12-24mm for this instead. The sigma seems to be a bit too wide for me on the 5D (full frame) and it’s not very sharp in the corners. It’s also a bit slow for me where the canon is a consistent f/4. […]
