New Gear: Canon 20-35mm L!!!

26 Feb ’09 by Ben

Yes it’s a relic, yes it’s designed in the 80s (but mine was made in 1996, the year I graduated HS!), yes it’s been replaced 3 times, but you know what, I LOVE IT!!!  It’s a 2.8 constant zoom, but it’s not very big at all.  It’s actually smaller than the 17-40L although a bit […]

New Gear: Sigma 20mm EX DG

31 Jan ’09 by Ben

Well as much as I don’t really want to like this lens, it’s actually proving to be quite the sharp, wide, fast bargain.  It’s been on the camera since it came out of it’s box last night, and so far I’ve been very impressed with it.  It’s got sigma’s typical black flake paint job on […]

For Sale: Canon 70-200 f4 IS L

26 Jan ’09 by Ben

I’m selling my beloved 70-200 f4 IS.  This lens is one of canon’s sharpest zooms ever made and it has the best IS they make.  Yet I’m still selling it….  Why?  Because I had it and the 300 as a great pair, but once I sold the 300 for the 100-400 it’s been a bit […]

For Sale: Canon 300mm f4 IS L

3 Nov ’08 by Ben

Yep, selling my 300 f4.  I LOVE this lens, but I use it primarily for sailing and surfing shots where I’m typically pretty restricted in where I can shoot from.  So a prime just doesn’t work very well for that.  Also, I’ve been using it with the 1.4 TC a lot lately which it take […]

New Gear: Canon 100-400 L

31 Oct ’08 by Ben

I traded the 50L for a 100-400L…  This lens has always been tempting for me, and I’ve realized recently shooting some sailing and surfing shots that the 300 has been limiting at times.  I find myself using it as much with a 1.4 TC (420mm f/5.6) as w/o and then at other times 300 is […]

Canon 50mm 1.2L

24 Oct ’08 by Ben

I just got the 50L today.  I actually took it in trade for my 45mm TS-E.  I’ll be testing it out over the weekend as I’ve always been curious what it’s like.  But odds are I’ll be selling it Monday as it’s twice as heavy as the 50 1.4 and 4 times the price… edit: […]

For Sale: Canon 24mm TS-E

21 Oct ’08 by Ben

I’m selling off the last of my beloved TS-E lenses.  I LOVE movements and have ever since I used my first view camera.  I still do love them, but my issue is I’ve rarely used this lens in the year or so I’ve owned it, so it’s not worth holding on to and not using.  […]

For Sale: Canon 90mm TS-E

23 Sep ’08 by Ben

I’m selling off one (2 actually, check below for the other one) of my beloved TS-E lenses.  I LOVE movements and have ever since I used my first view camera.  I still do love them, but my issue is I’ve rarely used this lens in the year or so I’ve owned it, so it’s not […]

For Sale: Canon 85mm f/1.8

23 Sep ’08 by Ben

I’ve noticed I haven’t been using this lens much, if at all lately so I’m going to sell it.  I tend to use the 50mm (it focuses closer) or 135 (it has better bokeh) if I’m picking between the 3, and if I’m not using it I don’t see a reason to keep it.  So […]

Sigma 12-24mm EX DG

30 May ’08 by Ben

Had this lens when I had my 1DmII.  When I went to the 5D it still covered the frame, but it’s IQ on FF wasn’t quite what I wanted.  It was wonderfully wide, but a hair too much distortion for my tastes.  I sold it for the 17-40mm L. I get asked a lot of […]

New Lens: Canon 70-200 f4 IS L.

14 Apr ’08 by Ben

I picked up a canon 70-200mm f4 IS L on Monday. I had ordered the 2.8 version (with IS) the week before but it’s way to big and heavy for what I want to do. A lot of sports shooters like to argue that the 2.8 version will save shots with added shutter speed, but […]
