In Love ( 35L )

I bought the 5D mark II last week. I was very impressed with the camera however I knew that shooting with the nifty fifty was not reaching the full capacity of the camera. I had passed up the 5D mark III so that I could pair some nice glass with the mark II. So I bought the 35L and absolutely love it. I recommend it to anyone. Weather has been far from optimal today, but I was able to sneak outside for a couple minutes. I can't wait to really get out and test this lens.

I really like that shot you took!

Simple, when viewing the image in flickr, there is a share button just above the picture. Click it then look for the tab thing that says HTML/BBCode then choose the size you want then copy and past it into reply box here and it will be embedded.

@NeverFollow, very nice!

I got this lens about a year and a half ago and it has become one of my favorites along with the 135L.

I got all my gear this week, haven't been able to fully use it as the weather has been drab. Hopefully the weather clears up so i can finally put it through it's paces.

It's nice that you have a lot in the background, nice bokeh, colours, contrast,... the last L I would ever sell.
Ideal for a person with the connection to his environment in the background, not too narrow, not too wide and not much distortion.
I once did a modelshoot with 35L + 85L and almost used the 35L exclusively, later on I had to make some crops and great IQ also.

This is exactly why I bought this lens, I feel its very important that the environment have a larger influence in a portrait than it just being a background. It takes a little more work to make an environmental portrait a success but when you do its very satisfying.

Here is one of my favorites from today with it!

Nice. It's one of the lenses I'm looking to purchase soon, along with the 135L.

I love both. So much that I'm contemplating on selling my 100L macro, which I used to swear by, but hardly find myself using anymore

It's gonna happen, I just kept reading rumors about a 35L II so I've been holding off. Of course the way Canon is pricing new lenses it would probably cost $3k...
