No, you said SMALL package.


Sigma 150 according to his EXIF on Flickr

Indeed...

I am thinking the 100 would be a blast to play with.

I have the old 100. I don't know that I use it enough to justify upgrading. I'd be happy just getting 1/10 in sharp focus.

Ingard, do you ever take a shltty photo? Very nice!

Yes! I just dont show them

I just put the thing on and shoot. Are the results always what I want? Probably the same as any lens - not always.

Thank you..

Depends on how much money you want to spend. I'm sure people would recommend the 85L, 135L and/or 200L for portraits. And probably the 24-70/70-200 for weddings. Hope you have deep pockets

i wouldnt hesitate one bit to use a 24-70 for portrait work..indoors or outdoors. its an excellent choice.

Thank you guys (I take some of your comments as indirect compliments ). People keep telling me that the Zeiss ZE 35/2 is much better than 35L, but I find it hard to understand how it can get much better than this (I know they aren't talking about sharpness, but still). It's not that I don't believe them, but then I see the results I get from 35L, and remember that I have f/1.4 and AF... I wish I could try a ZE and see. On the other hand, ignorance is bliss...

But you can.

Thanks, but in that case I think it's cheaper to just buy it here in Norway and return or re-sell it if I don't like it. But maybe it's better not to even try a Zeiss. I have seen what happened to other people who did - they ended up replacing all their Canons with Zeiss and I can't afford to do that... Besides, I'm really happy with what I have now and don't want to awaken that lens lust again.

It's an amazing lens no doubt, but I want to see what that different rendering is about. The 35L is already as sharp as I would want (even too sharp, sometimes). I have looked at samples of course, but it's hard to judge differences in rendering looking at other people's shots. I believe them when they say it's there, that's why I'm curious. We'll see. Maybe I'll take the risk and try one after the summer.

Anyone else following the Soccer world cup btw.? Too bad Sweden didn't make it this year. They did participate in 2006.
