I dunno if I would enjoy it... right now I have 2 ZOOM lenses and I can already see some strain on my 70-200mm's mount because of the frequency I change lens when I shoot:o

Must be a Nikon Lens every one knows they are cheap! j/k

FJ LOVE wrote in post #12974907
quite alright Danny, it's wasn't meant for you

lol

Here you go Julian some options in your price point:

Cervelo R3
Cannondale Synapse
Specialized Roubaix SL3 Expert
BMC SL01
Giant Defy Advanced 1
Trek Madone 5.2
Izalco team replica
Litespeed C3
Jamis xenith pro


Note Julian the majority of these are 2011 and either Shimano ultegra or SRAM components. The 2012 will slowly be integrating utlegra Di2.

Don't get me wrong. Zooms have their place for quick results but, just using the 35,50, and 100 alone surprised me how much I have to think about composition.

I remember your example of using a lens wide open and only having one eye in focus. It's not pleasant to see imo.

Get the 35 1.4 then. For the price it's not bad.

yeap I research about it... not in a hurry to buy it at all

what does strain look like, c'mon Steven

hahaha I guess with the way I mount the lens sometimes when I am in a hurry I bump it around the mount or something, I can definitely see some marks on it now I'll take some shots with the Macro later so you guys could see

heheheh yeah I was really pissed that time you know... imagine eating Chicken curry with no Chicken on it?

its not about lowlight, I want the very thin dof effect though I actually saw a lot of samples of the Samyang 35mm f/1.4 wide open and it seems like its pretty sharp

if you want thin DOF get a macro and get close

the 24mm on a new zoom will be at least as good as the 24 L in my opinion and will cost the same too

But I kind of have a thing for fast lens.... Ever since I got the 50 1.4 I love the bokah!!!

I held back also Just note like Nick said ultegra Di2 will come at a premium and those prices you see online are MSRP so slash about 200 off that and it should give you a good idea of where your bike shop will quote the price. Regular Ultegra 6700 will be less as well. SRAM is also another option.

that is a total pet peeve , everyone says look at how sharp my lens is , one eye in focus the whole image is crap , but that eye wow it's in focus

For anyone who thinks you have done or planned a long bike ride you have nothing on this guy and his crew
