Thanks for all suggestions!

Mom will come too - forget to mention. So the plan is she will take care the baby boy and I will take photos. I will be in the park for only one day to take photos and the rest of the week I need to be in a conference.

I have get rid of all my zoom lens and P&S already.

So 50 is the winner then.

Hi,

I am going to visit Disneyland Orlando in June with my son(2.5 years old). I plan to take 5DMK2 with me. I only can take one Lens with me. I have the following lens available:

24/1.4, 50/1.2 and 85/1.2.

All the shots are about the baby boy so which one I should take?

I used 50/1.2 most in home.

Thanks,

Alex

Thanks a lot guys.

0.5m is not really big upgrade from 0.7 m. So it looks like as long as I stick with M I have to live with this long min focus distance. In that case I will just stick with my Konica then.

Hi, I am looking for a M lens ether leica or third party. I am using Konica M-Hexanon Lens 28mm f/2.8 now. The only complain I have it the min focus distance is 0.7 meter which is too much because I only going to have one lens for nex-5 always.

What I am looking for:

1. 24mm -35mm

2. F2.0 - F3.5

3. short min focus distance

4. Good optical quality

5. small and light - Konica M-Hexanon Lens 28mm f/2.8 is OK but smaller will be better

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Thanks a lot Arthur - I learned something today!

UV or no UV, it is always a question.

April 13, 2011

Agree. But I hate to spend time to remove cap when I want take a shoot.

April 13, 2011

Thanks a lot!

I am sorry. I mean the filter size is

Filter Size

Standard 46mm x 0.75mm.

My question is does that 0.75 really matter? Or I can use any 46mm filter.

Thanks again.

April 13, 2011

Hi, I just got a Konica M-Hexanon Lens 28mm f/2.8 and as usual I will add a b+w uv filter on it to forget the lens cap at all.

As I read it is 46x0.75 size so which b+w uv I can use? I search in b&h there are a lot 46 but none claim it is 0.75. I am new in M world and in my old Canada world only number 46 matters.

I won't touch leica fiter because it is too costly.

Thanks.

Problem solved.

Thanks a lot!

Hi All,

I am using Manfrotto 190CL and 484RC2 for years and very happy with them.

Recently I upgrade to 5DMK2 then I found out the head is not strong enough to support.

So I bought 488rc2 because it support 8KG.

Today I get it but I found out it won't fit in 190CL. Actually I never check whether it will fit or not becuase I think they are all Manfrotto product so how can they not fit each other?

It looks like the screw part on 190CL is too big for the hole on 488rc2.

How does this happened? Did Manfrotto change they connection screw size recently?

What I can do next? upgrade legs too? How can I make sure the legs will fit the head ?

Thanks a lot!

March 26, 2010

WOW. Information is still come in!

Thanks again guys! I am really looking forward for this trip now!

March 21, 2010

Thanks for all again.

Just bought a 18-200 cheap lens and will put it on 350D.

Then I will also take 5D with 16-35.

So I can deicide which one I should use.

I enjoy wide angle shot in City.

Anther question, I booked a 4 star hotel because I need the security box in Room. But it that "security box" really security? I plan to leave my 5D in hotel when I am in conference.

March 20, 2010

Thanks a lot! Guys. I will take my 5D.

Extra Q, I want to be light at road because actually I go there for MS Teched.

My Lens's plan:

5D+16-35/F2.8 for sure

I also have a 350D, 70-200/F4 and will have 24-70/2.8. Do I need them over there too?

Thanks

March 19, 2010

I heard it is dangerous over there and people suggest do not take expensive camera to there. But when I look at photos of new orleans I really want to bring my 5dMK2 with me for this trip.

What should I do? Did anyone be there before?

Thanks for any suggestion.

March 15, 2010

I am so sorry that I mistakenly entered "Micro" as "macro".

Actually I have 100/2.8 macro already. But she just want a lens she can do everything she want to do.

I am looking at Canon 18-55,24-85 and sigma 17-70 now.

Thanks for all suggestion.

March 15, 2010

"The IQ does not needs to be super because I am using most of L lens anyway."

Are you saying that for your wife's photographic needs image quality isn't that important, because you have the better camera anyway? If so, how does she feel about that?

</blockquote>

That's what she want. I ask her about PI she told me she does not care about PI but she wants it won's cost a lot. She hate to feel must care about it or afraid to lost it.

March 15, 2010

Sigma 17-70 the best choice until now except I do not really like sigma name. My first lens is sigma 27-70/2.8 at 11 years ago and I do not really like it.

March 15, 2010

Hi,

Finally happy with my new 5dmk2.

My old 350d will go to my wife. She like take photos and she is using a canon 870is now and she feel that small dc is not good.

She like to take photo for everything but she took a lot of micro photos too.

I do not think a 100/2.8 micro is good choice for her.

Any suggestion like a 18-200 with good micro ability? The IQ does not needs to be super because I am using most of L lens anyway. Other brand then Canon are fine too.

Budget? For sure cheaper is better but if I have to set a limit maybe 400$. This camera only worth 250$ I guess.

Thanks a lot!

March 9, 2010

Thanks for all response. It really helps. I decide the return this one and get a brand new one instead. Even my old 350d does not give me any hot/dead pixels at iso 200/1s. I think this body is defect one. Maybe I can keep it and send it back to Canon right away but I really want to happy shooting from tomorrow instead spend a lot of time one camera itself. Thanks again.

March 8, 2010

No. I will get 5D. I mean I will return this "good deal" and get full price brand new one.

I like this camera.Even my GF can see the difference compare this one to my old old 350D.

Maybe I should change my title to "Should I go cheap or".

Thanks and I will do the sensor cleaning then test again.

March 8, 2010

I used 40 as theadhold of hot pixel and 250 as dead pixels. Should I retuen it? I got a good deal like(at least I thought I was) 1000$ discount becuase it is a customer return one.

I have turned off all the noise reduction functions and took RAW then convert to TIFF 8bit.

Thanks.

Yup. 5D is the way to go.

Should I wait for 5DMK3?

March 1, 2010

I think I like the DOF of 35/1.4.

But I think I almost make up my mind - 5dMK2 is the way to go - at least for now.

March 1, 2010

Very interesting. I have 16-35/2.8 already and I never thought about use high ISO. I got a impression like never use ISO > 200 with DSLR.

What's the usable ISO range of 5DMK2?

I have a Rebel XT not and I feel anything more than 200 is not usable.
