Use your browser to search down for "70-200" to skip straight to the pic followed by the new 50 f/1.2 on a 1DMK2.

Really interesting. That guy did a good job. The Leica and Zeiss stuff looks especially good at the show. Leica really are on the up it seems judging from the investment made and the show they obviously put on. I like some of the othner features on his blog too. He's happy to shoot with anything decent and I like his points about getting it all right at moment of exposure and not sat in front of a monitor for hours.

Interesting reading, not so much the Canon section but everything else... I wouldn't mind holding some of those Mamiya and Hasselblads for comparative purposes ;)

Nice link! I am going to watch out for that collapsable lit backdrop. It looks like something I could use at anyone's house. Sets up in 2 minutes. :)

Very nice. Thanks for posting the link to the shots. That 50mm f/1.2L is one big lens. The 85mm f/1.2L II is no slouch either. :)

Since the 1.8 is called the thrifty and the 1.4 is the nifty, the 1.2 should be called "fat bastard"... it's huge..

That new Metz 58 flash looks promising!
The 50 1.2 indeed is huge.

The Zeiss 1700mm f/4 looks like a damn cruise missile.
