that is a beast of a lens hahaha. gigantic

UdubBadger · 03-09-2009, 05:13 PM

yeah its a lot bigger than I thought it was but also that lens hood makes it look bigger than it actually is.

335iPaul · 03-09-2009, 05:15 PM

So are you selling any of your old lenses since you got this nice new one?

CubanJJ09 · 03-09-2009, 05:26 PM

funny thing is that its a wide angle lens too... only 16-35mm

UdubBadger · 03-09-2009, 05:42 PM

this will be my next purchase (photography wise)

70-200mm f/2.8 L

though I'd be really nice to get a 400mm f/4 DO L I'd need to save up a few YEARS for that....

335iPaul · 03-09-2009, 05:58 PM

While on the topic of lenses, I know you mentioned the 50mm f/1.8 as a cheap lens to have, but if I was looking for a little better lens, any thoughts on the EF 35 f/2.0 or the EF 28 f/1.8 USM? Looking for a good lense for basic indoor shooting.

UdubBadger · 03-09-2009, 07:21 PM

all the same quality basically... just decide if you want a 50mm 35mm or 28mm.

you can however get a 50mm in f/1.4 for like $250-$300 if you want a little more light.

I prefer the 50mm but a 35mm would be pretty sweet too.

Nebster · 03-09-2009, 07:29 PM

seth when are you planning on coming saturday right?

Vudoo4u2 · 03-09-2009, 07:32 PM

yeah probably Saturday between 10am-noon

Vudoo4u2 · 03-09-2009, 07:57 PM

and I disagree with these clowns...the 16-35 is a pretty light lens, hardly a telescope

nice, i will definitely trade off for a lil bit.

I know the WB is bad, I didn't even put them in PS, threw them into iPhoto to resize. Not really concerned with the WB just wanted to show the clarity
