They requested the photo on the back, I didn't really like it. Oh well, I got to pick the front. The images on the cards were shot with the 35L and the photo of said card was shot with the 35L.

Just bought a copy of this lens from a good friend and famous photographer Jon Lowenstein. I spent yesterday watching soccer with a very good friend in Amsterdam and his son is so cool :)

Ah, I see you're using a 40D too, A lot of people use the 35L on a FF camera, but let me tell you..its really awesome on a crop camera as well :cool: - Goodluck!

[wallybud]

I am sorry to say that I have been out twice now with my 85 on camera and 35 in bag and the 35 never came out to see the light of day :(. The thought never even crossed my mind. Might be because it's new though, who knows.

[x2x3x4x5x]

I was like that for about 2 weeks after I got my 85L. Then it hit me, I still prefer the uncompressed natural vibes I get from the 35L.

They are both amazing pieces of glass - I just use whatever one suits the task at hand.

I think so to.
I doubted between the 24L and the 35L and tested them both on my 24-105 and I found out that 35mm was the best :-).

I'm in NY from the 24th of June to the 30th of June, I hope it'll be back in stock then.

Just pulled the trigger on one of these after losing my patience waiting for a 24L II. After reviewing this thread, I think I'll be better off. I'm shooting a crop body for now but the 5D II is on the horizon. You 40D guys finding the focal length ok?

YES!, the focal length is really great! So much that I think I will hold onto a crop body even when I get the 5D II.

[KAS]

Really thinking about picking this lens up!

I have a question, though. To those of you who have the 24-70, do find the 35L redundant at all? I own the 24-70, and 16-35, so adding a FOURTH way of getting 35mm seems a tad overkill...but I really like the look of this lens!

So, is the 35L worth it over and above the 24-70 (set at 35)?

Cheers

[DL.Photography]

This is my experience on crop cameras...

My coworker just bought a 16-35 f/2.8L II for her XSi....I tried it on my 40D and found that the 35L is noticeably sharper when comparing the images @ 35mm, f/2.8.

I think being able to go to f/1.4 alone is worth it.

This is a horrible and inappropriate question that should be banned from this form immediately and forever.

(I have the 24-70L and 17-40L, and have been wondering the very same question. My gut says my next purchase should be long, but the 35 is calling loudly.)

I don't find it redundant at all - or the 50L, or potentially the 24L when I pick one up. Primes are generally sharper than any zoom, smaller and certainly brighter/faster. I prefer to shoot primes, so always grab those first - then the zoom(s).

A 35L would be your fifth way actually, not fourth! So for you, maybe it's getting a bit... "Common." :D

[KAS]

haha, you bring up a good point. But I don't typically use the 17-35 :)

All of you have made very good points regarding the 35L (not to mention the amazing shots I'm seeing in here). I think it makes sense for me. I must be easy to convince

[x2x3x4x5x]

You should just give me your 1Ds... ;) ;)

Surely you mean Third way?
The 35L has a certain look to it when shot wide open and that's the point of using it as well as gaining 2 stops of ligth gathering over an f2.8 zoom.

If your shooting needs fins this lens helpfull then get one. If not, enjoy your 2 current 35mm lenses ;-)
What you have highlighted though is that the current wide offerings from Canon really aren't wide enough for the modern shooting world. years ago a 16-35 combined with a 35-70 and a 70-210. These days the 70-210 has shrunk slightly to a 70-200. The 35-70 has just been pushed at the wide end to no offer 24-70. The 16-35 has been replaced with a mk II version but it hasn't pushed focal length in any direction and it's only gain is IQ. Once upon a time only the pro's bothered with ultra wides and 24mm was considered to be wide enough. It was an expensive luxury. But these days, the digital cropped sensor, has caused this lens to sell and sell.
I really do thing that a 12-24mm is really needed, but one that can fit front filters (grads and polarisers) plus it needs to be sharp wide open. The 24-70/2.8 is so versatile now, it's pushing on the 16-35 now.

I definitely can't count...haha.

and yes, I'm definitely after that 3D look that the 35L provides. I've tried to produce it with the 16-35 and 24-70, but I either don't get enough background blur, or to achieve said blur I'd have to get so close to the subject that it distorts them somewhat.

Use your 16-35mm and go wider and a lot closer. You''ll find the background just melts away. it's a slightly different look because it's a different angle of view and there's more geometric distortion. But give it a go.

Oh but I have! It really does distort people when you get too close. I'll work with it a bit more, though...see what I can get out of it. It's still an AWESOME lens for non-portrait work. Or for when the people are nice and far away, and I'm not trying to get the blur. That, or I need to keep the background super distant from the subject. I HAVE used it for skateboarders...they seem to like the distortion it provides :)

OMG we have the exact same dilemma, I find 16-35 not good enough in a dark restaurant. I can hand hold 1/15 f2.8 at iso 2000 (24-70 is too big for that purpose). Results dont show very well at 100% crop.
I am very close to picking up the 35L...ARGH

I just purchased one the other day - should be here by Thursday. Just do it! ;) Now I'm considering consolidating my 85 and 100 macro into a 135L. Not quite set on that move though. I've got the prime bug. :)

Keep the 85 and get the 135L. So then you have 35-85-135

[KAS]

Yes, dark indoor places are going to be an excellent use for this lens. I was really pushing the 24-70 the other day after sunset, and I could really have used an extra two stops! :)


Just do it! ;)

Ok, so as I mentioned above I just recently got a hold of my 35L. I don't have anything I'd share, (yet), but I can see that my 24-70L may have just been rendered obsolete if I can get used to zooming with my feet. ;)

And thank you all for the reassurance that the FL would be good on a crop. Like McDonald's, I'm LOVING it!

When I critised this lens for it's sharpness wide open, I was just moaning about it's sharpness. It's still the best wide lens from Canon's stables. From a low light point of view, f1.4 is SO much faster than an f2.8 zoom. It has a creative look which is spectacular in the right hands (as many of the posed photographs on this forum show) and I am often tempted to get one...not that I particularly need one. For me, a 50L is more usefull but that's even softer wide open than the 35L that I some times rent.
I just love the way this lens works with kids and environmental portraits...just stunning.

Thanks, Allen :) . This was officially my first street pic with the 35L and of course I shot it at f/1.4, lol. I used the lens on Saturday night to photograph a family gathering of 16 in a candlelit restaurant. Paid work, so no photos to share, but the lens performed well. Obvious to me is that I need to wrap my mind around a wide lens that is as fast as this one is. But I will :D . Your pics with the 35L have been inspirational, btw. Thanks for that and keep on sharing :) .

Just another quickie. Demonstrating one of the primary functions of fast lenses: Being able to shoot in almost total darkness :)

You guys are making me mad! I keep wavering between this and a 50L. Yeah yeah the 50L is dreamy and all but then I look at the pics in here and think this might be a better fit.....drrrrrrrrrrrrr!!

and some more to help you get more confused.. sorry.. but i think you will like the 35L

it can do portraits much better than i thought it would do.. i just have to use it more than my 70-200.. and trust the results, well like these..

Very nice range finder.

[xoldboy]

beautiful as always phamster.

this lens is a great walk around for me.

[MaliCali]

i am seriously thinking about going down to Samy's and buying this lens right now.

i've never had such a hard time deciding to go through with getting a lens the way i am now, more so just because i spent about $1600 less than a week ago getting the 135L and 85/1.8..

ive read plenty of reviews and have looked up lots of photos taken with this thing, tell me why i absolutely must have this lens and make my decision easier please...

well i believed you..

i couldnt find any in stock at any local area store over the phone the past couple days, then a couple hours ago i drove over to calumet to get myself a filter, then i see the 35L just sitting in the display case behind the counter...bought that, two filters, a soft lens case, and a pelican case for all of my gear as my current bag is no longer large enough for everything lol

so far im VERY pleased with the decision :)

I really like your pp.

Is it based on a template/recipe from LR/PS etc or do you do your own?

Would you mind sharing.

I particularly like the kind of bluey/browny/greeny "off" look in this shot and the shots of the guy smoking in the 135L thread.

thanks

Skittles vodka


Do explain.

[superbad]

Do explain.

If you leave skittles in vodka (or any alcohol over 20%) for 24hrs+, it turns into a fruity tasty drink. It's delicious. Vegas thing....

[DL.Photography]

I say over 50% of people that read this will try this...including myself lol

But no one has said how to make it. Anyway, to end this and get back to seeing more beautiful pictures, a quick google search for skittles vodka come up with tons of results. Here's one... Pretty easy to follow along. (click here) (http://mixthatdrink.com/skittles-vodka-tutorial/)

I really like this picture. Simple yet intriguing. However, I only wish you had used a CPL to give those clouds a little more definition. Maybe just personal taste. Still it is an outstanding picture though.

[Photomek]

Thanks! A CPL filter is on my wish list. ;)
