I am 49-20 yo!
I hope when i reach that age then i have my own studio and more gear, hehehe ;-)

what?! how old are you?! 49-20?!

[Marloon]

Thanks for that! I don't think I could ever sell my 85L either. The only reason I thought about it was because my brother offered to buy it from me. I do want the 135L. Maybe sometime next year. Anyway, thanks for sharing your thoughts regarding both, and yes I am filipino :)

i am PROUD TO BE PINOY! HAHAHA though i am half chinese too hahahah!

[Marloon]

I now have all 3 (35L, 85L & 135L) and dont feel the need for anymore at present (one day, the 200L). :)

You make 30 sound SOOOO old!!! :wink:

hahahahaha! the only goals i have for thirty are the fact that i have a family, a house, and some more L lenses. preferably a 200mm f2.0L IS.

Interesting stuff, mxracer.

[MigsVuitton]

mxracer535 - amazingly simple set with design like composition. Love it.

A few more from Thanksgiving, easily becoming my favorite lens. I kept putting on my 85L only to want the 35L back on. I guess being the new toy, it's getting favored a bit right now:

Would you guys think choosing 35mm L over 24mm L is the right decision ? I am stuck between these 2 ? i have not shot with the 35mm L but i had with the 24mm L i thought 24mmL is too Wide for me ..

[phamster]

Would you guys think choosing 35mm L over 24mm L is the right decision ? I am stuck between these 2 ? i have not shot with the 35mm L but i had with the 24mm L i thought 24mmL is too Wide for me ..

let me help you..

35L on a full frame is perfect for family and events.. it doesn't distort the corners, that was one of the reasons i picked it over the 24L.. for my clients in the mid west who really are conservative.. the distorted corners would bug them..

and a family photo shot..

If you think that the 24 is too wide, then you might find the 35 or the 50 to be better. I like the 35 a lot.the 24 is defiitely too wide for me

[Tomminator855]

Thanks Pham that's a great advise . i have the zoom 24-70mm . i found it very useful , i just hope if i pick up the prime like 35mm L it can be on the camera as much as the 24-70mm .i also have the 50mmL and the 85MmL . having these 2 primes lens on a full frame body it's good . but i just worry that my other body 50D is not good for 35mm L .. sorry i am kinda confuse you guys ..

[The Ghost of FM]

I've avoided this thread for the past few weeks because I've been shooting so much with my other primes that I almost forgot I had a perfectly good 35L sitting there collecting dust!

Glad I remembered to use it and also have to say how many absolutely stunning shots you guys have posted in the past few pages that I just caught up on! :cool:

Anyway, here's a humble contribution from me...

[AlexMoPhotography]

a ton of awesome pictures here from everyone. great job! most notably marloon.. something about the effect of his photos.

I almost have enough $$ for the 35L but I just can't pass up the 85L. As it stands, I really do need a better lens for wedding group photos (instead of my sigma 10-20).

[Yamaha451]

Well call me crazy, but I just ordered this lens! Now why couldn't I have just taken up a hobby like knitting? My bank account would be much happier!

[Tomminator855]

Well i guess Yamaha451 just happened to be in the same group ..i just bought a 1Dmark3 ,and that just for hobby .. i've never get paid any penny .. lolz i hate comming here and look at people showing the lens sample picture .. i don't hate the part where my Jaw drop ,but i hate the part that i keep adding lens to my wish list ...

Thanks! yeah the 35L is a very sharp lens. i always pick it over my 24-70. thinking of getting rid of that thing. i bought it for 1025. when the rebates are over, i'll probably sell it since it doesnt get used.

Well anyways, here's some more guys! i hope you like it! (i'm not sure if the dog picture is a repost. I'm active in a couple of different local forums. LOL - but i am really loyal to POTN)

Welcome to the prime lens addiction! you'll soon find yourself blindly chasing the other two primes. and sooner or later, you'll be 3000 dollars in debt again. if you really think about it, 3000 dollars is not a whole lot of money.

$3000 dollars is really not a whole lot of money. Think of it this way, if you put away 250 dollars a month for a whole year, you can definitely have your 135L + 85L.

In terms of camera gear and personal expenses, i am personally trying to put away 500 a month starting next year, so that i can buy a 200 f2L IS by 2010. it'll take about a year unless i compromise and get lighting gear.

based on what you said, i'm going to assume one of two things:

1) you live with your parents. vancouver is not a cheap place to live. rent, utilities, health/property insurance, etc make $250-500 a month a pretty big deal for most of us in our early twenties. your comment only makes sense if you don't have massive bills to pay every month.

2) you landed yourself a really nice cushy job. one of the lucky few who makes a nice living in which rent, utilities, insurance, savings, etc are all well within your means and putting money off for photography equipment is not difficult.

--

not trying to generalize, but i think it's a bit rash to say $3000 is not a lot of money. i think you have to understand that your standard of living must be pretty high for a twenty-something if you can pay all of your bills and have $500 left over every month. :confused:

[Yamaha451]

Yes 3000 is a lot of cash, but if you can make the lenses last for 10+ years, it really is not a bad price. Most things like computers/tv's/electronics ect have a product life cycle of much shorter. So hopefully you can find a lens lineup that lasts the test of time.

Hopefully I have found my perfect lineup with the addition of the 35L, and I can stop obsessing over lenses and get out and shoot!

[ChrisGorabPhotography]

Try living in the North Jersey / NYC metro area. If you want to own a home and afford your property taxes, you need to be making 6 figures in order to save anything on top of that.

That said, $3000 is not a LOT of money, but it is a lot to spend on photography equipment when there are other large expenses to cover... especially if photography is only your hobby and not your business.

i feel yah and i was actually agreeing with you on the $3000 not being a lot of money.... just found the post to be funny in the context it was posted! I guess my post got mis-interpreted.

its not too tough to save up that much.... especially when you keep these lenses for a LONG time its feasible to fork out that kind of dough on them.

I took this shot at iso 25600 on the 5dii to get fighting chance to get the lines. I didn't do any nr because eventhough the chroma noise and banding is there, to me, it produces a nice effect to represent night time. The banding also helps flow the lines together. I assume you don't like it. Lol. To each his own style right? Ahhahahahha.

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2719/4151698660_13eb0d2091_b.jpg

What did you use to generate this bokeh? What kind of lit objects? The shapes are curious to me...

[Todd Lambert]

I'm thinking christmas lights?

I'm thinking christmas lights?

Possibly the really big ones.

Snowboarder - that sunset shot is amazing. It looks almost 3d and I feel like I'm there.

I got to use my 35 more often!

[MigsVuitton]

dajli, those are some amazing shots there. Thanks for sharing

[mxracer535]

Damn dajili! very nice work, the chair one is my favorite

[Yamaha451]

I want that picture Snowboarder to put on my wall! Sick. I've never seen sky like that.

Well to my surprise UPS showed up a day early with my 35L. WOOT. Got to play with it at lunch and I can say it is one sharp lens! For 1400 cheeseburgers, why couldn't they make the body metal? :(

Look,if you want a metal 35mm lens, there is the new excellent Zeiss 35 ZE available.
I have both right now and I'm thinking about selling my 35L, Zeiss is that good.
But I will probably keep both, as they are a bit different, let's say different enough :)

but the zeiss isn't Auto Focus is it?

[darksike]

thanx to all your photos, it convinced me to get the 35l as my first L lens. Even though I still have an XSI, it's a huge upgrade since 50mm 1.4 getting too tight for me and wow, it's sharper.
quick ones after using for a few days

and this a few hours ago. I don't know about the bokeh in these though. hoping it being round and not octagon

The 35L is THE perfect walkaround fror the 1.6 croppers (I'm using it on my 40D right now)...Nice choice and some nice first shots (#2 is my favorite of the 3), guess I never noticed the octo-bokeh with the 35L before, I would think it'd be round....Enjoy

I like this focal length a lot.

[sf_loft]

Just got my 35mm 1.4 delivered and here are some quick test shots in my kitchen.

All shots were taken at f/1.4 @ 100 ISO hand-held under fluorescent under counter kitchen light. No post processing except for the last where I added a little vignette. Can't believe how vibrant and sharp the colors come out.

There's some weird stuff you guys are shooting on this page!

[booja]

this damn thread just made me pull the trigger on one a few mins ago... cant wait for it to get here

[RonLegend]

Love this lens! Here are 2 shots taken at opposite coasts with "opposite" settings...

ISO 100 - f/8 - San Francisco - Legion of Honor

Decided to take a self-portrait. Sort of. Mostly to test out my new ee-s focusing screen.

:) Well, that brought a smile to my face.

Looks like someone's been eating more than breadcrumbs and seed for dinner.

[rvdw98]

I suppose it exploded mere seconds after this picture was taken? :D

[Yamaha451]

Just picked up this lens a few days ago. Love the perspective that it gives on things. I finally have a lens I can use wide open at 1.4 and not worry about softness or miss-focusing. Goodbye Sigma.

Nothing special, but went for a stroll around the capital.

Probably. When I came back the next morning, there were a bunch of feathers and shat everywhere. :lol:

Well well, if it ain't Melodramatic Marlon(tm). :lol: Nice new logo. ;)

[TristanCardew]

Everyone seems to be shooting this lens with a full-frame body.

Well I don't have one of those. :( But I do have a 3-day-old 7D that's lusting after a 35L, but would like to see some test shots/examples first. Anyone got any?

Pretty please?

All my shots are from a 400D! Haven't shot the 35L on FF yet.

[Grimlock]

I shoot with a crop body and all of my submissions are crop (XTi). The 35L is amazing either way. I found on a crop, the 35L is a perfect walk around lens. Close to a 50mm on a FF. It's really a great focal length and very flexible. It's sharp as a mofo, and the bokeh is amazing. (bokeh not to be judged on the image below)

I'm still catching up on edits, but here's a repost with my 35L.

http://jerryleephotography.zenfolio.com/img/v6/p49459365-5.jpg

[jrscls]

The great thing about the 35 L besides its outstanding IQ is that this FL is useful as a semi wide or normal lens on full frame or crop bodies.

[Marloon]

Well well, if it ain't Melodramatic Marlon(tm). :lol: Nice new logo. ;)

hahahahhaha! thanks! and i didnt know it was trademarked now. i better file for one right? HAHAHAHHAA i want a title so bad ahhaha

[ken2000ac]

Continuing use of my new Ee-S focusing screen for the 5D. It is helping out immensely in low light situations, which is typically when I manual focus anyhow.

Practicing on the dog using the 35L:
