Willy I think something has gone wrong with your 17-70, I had far better colour saturation with my 17-70 than what you are getting with your shots ;-)

[willy b]

i know...bloody thing!

[Nick_C]

i know...bloody thing!

Yes this is the biggest problem with modern lenses, they just dont last!

Even my L is starting to show the same symtoms :p

[willy b]

Nice one paul! i have seen window cleaners on those buildings before, there bloody scary heights!
Nice shot you captured paul!

[paulg1979]

Yes there are a few high buildings in London. Thanks for the comment Willy. I really like your pics in B&W! Works well!

[willy b]

Cheers paul! Where is your pic taken?

[paulg1979]

That was taken in Tenerife a few months ago. One of my favourites from there.

[willy b]

Thought it was tenerife, where abouts did you stay? I love it there!

[paulg1979]

It was at the Costa Adeje. Stayed in a lovely hotel there. I've been there the last three years running. Should try somewhere else next year. Where do you go in Tenerife?

[willy b]

Same place!!!! lol Stayed in the Jardin Caleta hotel this year with my girlfriend, such a nice place! I took quite a few shots, posted them up on hear i think, have a look if you want lol!

[paulg1979]

How funny's that. Not heard of that hotel. I'll look that up. I stayed in the Costa Adeje Gran. Fiancee would love to live there. I'll have a look at your pics. I should post a few of mine on here.

[Nick_C]

London Docklands. No not my hometown, buildings are huge!
Went to look at the london office property market with my uni course:)

Ah right, hehe shows how well I know London, despite the fact I lived just 15 miles or so away from Docklands for over 34 years! been past it once before all those tall buildings were built & thats it, never went back as its a hassle getting around there.

[Nick_C]

We had a crack at living abroad several years ago, owned a home in "Menorca" quite a nice place, friendly & worlds away from all the happenings in the UK :mad: but after a few years that "holiday feeling" goes & we found it was too restricting for us all, you see we are a family that likes to do anything & everything, but out there nobody did much of anything, my brother is an engineer & found it impossible to get all the items he needed where here its so easy.

Friends of ours recently packed up & came home to Devon, they stayed even longer than us, over 10 years but just had enough of the constant struggle to do anything, they pretty much summed it up, "its great if you just want to sit in the sun & drink & have a BBQ, but anything more & its very restricting" nothing wrong with drinking & having a BBQ but moderation eh? :p

[punnie]

hello everybody. this is my first post...and i'm brand new to shooting and pp and everything, so go easy on me please. i bought this lens last week, and i do like it a lot. i acutally just got the book understanding exposure, so i hope that helps me out too. anyway, here's a few pictures i was able to take.

Punnie,

Those are some great shots for your first time! You defintely have a good eye for photos... I especially like the second one. Your processing reflects the cold, uninviting essence of the tracks. Where is that? Looks like Chicago?

[willy b]

Another nice shot Matt, like it how your eyes are lead into the picture:)

That's one of the cooler self portrait shots, Paul!
If I was doing your type of work I'd spend more time shooting the surroundings than working... and probably get kicked off the job. :lol:

[paulg1979]

Yes its pretty cool. I only got into photogaphy a few months back so will be definitely taking my DSLR to jobs, but will avoid getting sacked for not doing any work.:D

[willy b]

Cool job Paul! Good, and different way to see London:)

[Dorman]

This is a thread I love checking out. I've seriously considered many times replacing my wide angle lenses with this one, if it were constant F/2.8 I'd do so in a heart beat. Such a versatile lens, there's some very creative and talented folks shooting with it here too.

Cheers.

[willy b]

Nice shots Matthew!

[Mediation]

Cheers for the kind words guys, yeah not having a constant F2.8 does get annoying :p

[mantra]

by the way , i read a lot of goods about this lens and the optic

i have a question are so inferior, lesser, lower about optics performance then the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L

about the sigma in which focal i can use an aperture of 2.8

[joseb552]

A newer one from my October visit to Vegas:

F/2.8 is only available on the wide end (17mm)

[Nick_C]

You cant help wondering how many people have gambled away their life savings to make that place as good as it does today!

[msowsun]

I got my 17-70 to replace what I always thought was a pretty good lens. (My Canon 24-85)

This was the first photo I took with it and I was immediately impressed with it's quality.

Yeah I friend of mine in CA went there with his family & said it was a lot of fun & a great place, but he couldnt help think how many people had lost so much to make it what it is.

Great shot though, their electricity bill must be phenomenal :D

Yeah im still subscribed to this thread, I dont own the 17-70 anymore since going full frame, but its always good to see whats going on in the other camp so to speak ;-)

hey just got my sigma and 400D today :)
my first slr and i'm still getting used to everything..
the focus is a bit out on this but the colour came out nice
tiny bit of pp and a little crop, c&c please :)
(its my brother btw..)
thankyou

[MLphoto]

nice shot ^

oh nvm not you...

[Mediation]

Might have a back focusing problem there mate.

[davo_robbo]

Might have a back focusing problem there mate.
I shot it at 1/8 iso 100 f4.0.
handheld too..

think i need to run a test?

[Eagle]

That would probably be camera shake not OOF. Just get a faster shutter speed and take more real world shots. Make sure the camera focuses on what you want, select a focus point don't let the camera guess. If you want a slow shutter, get it on a tripod.

[Mediation]

Just get a magazine out. Focus on a word. Come back and post it up...

brought out the 17-70 this past weekend. i havent touched this thing since my 12-24 :(

cant direct link the image cause its too big :P

eryk, I think that's a bad link. It won't open for me.

works fine for me

Nice shot "again" eryk

[Medic85]

Now it's working. Nice work.

[JakubPhoto]

eryk,

How is that Tokina treating you? I'm planning on getting it before my trip to Croatia later on in December. (either that or Tam 17-50 or Sig 17-70)

[davo_robbo]

got out in the garden again today and tightened up a few settings
light was better too
#1 70mm iso100 f5.6 1/40
#2 33mm iso100 f4.5 1/40
much better than yesterday :)

i love it, amazing build, constant f4. it feels great, did i mention amazing build? :D

i will be trading it for a sigma 10-20 only because i feel like that i need the 10mm distortion when i shoot cars. if not, i would definately keep the tokina, as 12mm is already very wide for most applications.

[rohicks]

Well i haven't posted any pics in a while in this thread so here is some more i took with it.
It is now my walk around lens pretty much.
I have another lens on the way finally.

it will fit, but it will vignette. at some focal lengths.

i think i got a soft version :(
most if not all of my photos are coming out really soft,
even on a tripod low shutter speed ect.
pretty darn bummed..
but otherswise the colours are coming out nicely..
shot some photos of brooch's today and they were coming out really really soft and so my mate whacked on his 50 1.8 and the difference was incredible..
regardless of all primes being sharper than zooms..
is it under warranty to be fixed? or do i need to fork it out myself

Hey, great shots there! I recognise that area in the second picture. That is Loch Maree and the road goes between Inverness and Gairloch on the west coast of Scotland. I have have an aunt and uncle who stay on the edge of the loch. Your picture does this place justice, the B&W conversion works really well. :)

Not long got mine to replace the 400D kit lens, its been grey and wet last few weeks and had no chance to get out and play but we had a hard frost the other day in Cambridge and couldnt resist my back garden. Shot some frosted pebbles and my over winter spring cabbage looked great, Frozen Veg! The ones on my FlickR are uploaded at higher quality.

heres some shots from the weekend at the coast,
came out pretty well.. i think the "softness" was just my lack of knowledge/skill
2nd has heaps of crap in it from the resize

The 2nd picture actually looks quite good here. nice work.

@ Minja, Very nice pictures indeed.

[Minja]

Thanks guys for comments. Glad you like it. I really like this lens, it's very versatile. But it seems I'll get replacement soon. Got immoral offer: Canon 24-70 2.8L for £200! Only worry is am I going to miss 17 to 24 range?

But, less talk more pictures. Here is another sigma photo:

Hey guys. I am looking into buying this lense. Beautiful crispness to each photo!

But, is it just me, or does this lense seem to blow out the whites and highlights a little?

I don't think so.

Beautiful shots there dewpoint. I was mainly looking at the pictures on the first page. The highlights are a little overpowering on the picture of the lady in particular thats all.

Ahh, well I struggle with that. In fact it's one of my biggest challenges but it happens with all my lenses.

Simple...Nice!! Like it Mediation

Thanks Willy!

Pano from my recent Set. Kind of droops on the right. I dont know if its because the earth is round or the lens is distorting. I have straightened up the horizon :p

Not the greatest of pictures, but I quite like the colour reproduction on it! I really like this lens, it's so versatile!

[Geoff_Shawcross]

Like the photo Jose B, but I would probably crop out the right side. All the empty space is a little distracting I find and it will also uncenter the little one. :)

I see the lens is working out well for you. Nice shot;)

[halesowenkid]

Fantastic pic's on this post especially some of the B/W ones :cool:

I've just taken delivery of a Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM :D & I'll have to see how it compares with the 17-70mm or do you know?

If so, then post your 10-20mm images ;)

There's a thread for that in the archive too.

[halesowenkid]

Whoops Medic85 I missed that one.

My appologies :o

[mantra]

can i ask a question ?

i bought this lens yesterday and mounted on my 350D

well , i found that this lens loads up colors & contrast
i took some shoots and they are too rich of contrast & colors
is the lens or my camera?

[arqp]

Just bought this lens recently and I'm quite happy with it...

Check the parameter settings on the camera.

[mantra]

Check the parameter settings on the camera.

yes but it's a bit warm lens, i can't correct it with parameter settings

[willy b]

Mine was alot warmer than the kit, but i find it shows a good representation of true colours!

yes mine is more dark "rich of contrast "(hard to over expose )
