Canon 35 WHAT?? A review (56k warning) - Page 5

mrclark321 · 4th of January 2006 (Wed)

Just curious but were these shot in RAW or JPEG and if so Par #1 or #2
I find with the 24-70L that on Par. #2 the colours are too strong.

The 50 f1.4 is a good lens. It focuses fast.......however, it is not as sharp as the 35 L wide open. Stopped down to around 1.8-2, it will give you some beautiful results.

Here are some examples (shot at around f2.8 I believe).

It is a good lens..........but it's behind the 35 in terms of clarity/color and sharpness. For the price though, the 50 is one of the bargain primes in the Canon line-up.

I will see if I can post more pics from the 35L tonight.

Yeah......there is nothing like the 85 L. It is on a league of its own (I think).

........it is also more expensive..........(sometimes, the price you pay can play a factor.)

JPEG P#1.

You're right P#2 gives too saturated colors........and some noise on the shadow areas. I only use P#2 during a casual party at home when I'm shooting ISO 200 and flash.

I know people do get caught up in L fever, but there can be no argument on this lens. I just love mine.

Good writeup and demo of what this lens can do.

I thought of doing one when I got mine but after reading/viewing yours I'm glad I didn't. It wouldn't have compared well.

Congrats on the new baby and I look forward to more of your photos. You do good work. Of course, having access to beautiful women is a HUGE plus.

Best Regards

Dan, you won't be disappointed. This lens and the 85 1.8 are the best bargins for value and dollar for primes(usm, low light, fast af, pretty good build, sharp).

Thanks Steve!!! I can't seem to get this lens off my camera.......its stuck on the 20D and my 85 L is stuck to my Rebel.

I hope you are enjoying the lens as much as I am.

That looks like a superb lens.

roanjohn, excellent write up and beautiful photos. Thank you very much!

Sigh... another thing to add to the wish list. B&H has it. They also have a 85mm f1.2L

Very nice photos. You've got skilz...

Raymate · 16th of January 2006 (Mon)

I can't open it either... DARN. I really wanted to have a look at these....

Kristy · 16th of January 2006 (Mon)

Oh here they are.... Wheeewww.... Beautiful shots and a wonderful display of the lens capabilities. Thanks for sharing. I'm trying to decide between 35, 85, and 100. 100 is long, but I was looking at it over the weekend. Focuses nice and close, would be sweet for baby toes, but ultimately I think it's too long. 85 gives awesome bokah.... I'm ready to buy something soon.
