So Scott, that 40D getting ditched for a 5D anytime soon? 1D3 + 5D combo, eh, eh? ;) JeffreyG, a long-time admirer, has just given in and gotten the Mark3 hahaha. They are a dynamic duo.

Great shot!

Thanks :)

Wow, great shots. Which lens?

Thanks! First one is the 85mm F/1.8 USM, yet again. The second one is the 50mm F/1.4 USM. Think the kid is old enough for a paper route? Daddy needs a 50L...

I like it a lot, it's great to have a 50mm prime again and the bokeh is very nice. I haven't sent it in yet, and might do so, but for now I'm satisfied. It's not sharp wide open but the other qualities of the lens make up for it. It's definitely not perfect, but I think I've found one I'm happy with.

35L II? :D :D :D

Damn it. I'm picking up a 5D tomorrow (woo!!!) and the 35L is on the very short list for a month from now - if the 35L isn't available and the II is $1600ish, I'm going to be not happy...


Bill is my name - I'm the most wanted man on my island, except I'm not on my island, of course. More's the pity.

Considering that the 35L is damn near perfect as it is now, I wouldn't sweat it. If there is a version II coming, that will just slightly drop the prices of the 35L, so take advantage of it and snag it when you can.

^^^ if they're still available... that's what I'm worried about. Otherwise, I'll have to talk a current 35L owner in to buying the II and selling me theirs... :twisted:

If a new one is announced and 35L prices start to plummet, I will pick another one up. There is definitely a price point where the quality of the 35L becomes totally worth the niche focal length for me.

I won't pay over a grand for a lens I won't use that much, but I'd happily pay up to CAD$800 to have that kind of quality in the bag. Unlikely to drop that far though. If you want this focal length, the lens is simply awesome.
