Cool shot Triton- nice processing.


I mostly use the 135L out in the street but I also have a 24-70L and 35L and a 200L that I put to use.

thanks.
Yea the 135L is a beast of a lens for street photography. I went out shooting with the 85mm 1.8 but i'm not too crazy about it for street photography.

I'm thinking of getting that 200L sometime down the line. RIght now i'm focusing on getting a 35L.

The 200L is nice but out in the street it's too much zoom sometimes. I end up with lots of Headshots which are good too just a little limited. It is great for events or wide open park shots(like Central Park). That 135L still gives you room to compose the scene, it is terrific from across the street.


That 35L indoors is TERRIFIC. CRAZY bokeh. Super fast and tack sharp. It is also good outside taking scapes and scenes..

I've been considering a 100mm macro lens- I think 100mm would be a nice length in the street. I'm thinking that 85mm would be nice too.

I have a 5Dmkii and a 50D. On the Crop Sensor all these lenses have a bit more zoom so I have some options.

nice shots APEX! how you liking NYC?

I like that 1st shot two4- nice timing.

main reason I kinda want the 200 is to see if it'll work good for my stepsons baseball game. I may rent/borrow one to see if I even need that or just use the 135L.

yea I tried the 35L at B&H was blown away which is why it needs to be in my bag. lol.

I'm gonna go out shooting more with the 85mm later on today and see what I get. I wasn't too crazy with the shots I got yesterday with the exception of maybe 3-4.

I've been eyeing a 100mm macro as well and will most likely get it after the 35L.

Loving it so far! Going back out today hope to get in some shots today. There are a few more shots from yesterday on my Flickr. I almost went to Union Station yesterday but was closer to Washington Park.
