<p>Thanks a lot!.<br>

I want to invest more on Lens than body. And my budget limitation only allow me ether get 35/1.4 and t2i or just 5DMK2.<br>

I really want a lens which can be good in low light. Is it 35/1.4 best choice for me? 24/1.4 is over budget so only other choice is 50/1.2.</p>

<p>As in subject.<br>

My upgrade plan is buy new T2i Body with EF 35/1.4. But I read a lot like the auto focus system of t2i is not good enough for 1.4 lens. I have to at least get 5D to do that.<br>

Is that true?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

Tks for all of answer. This is the best of the photo.net. Always can get usful help here.

Roger Krueger: You really scare me But I feel a little more safe because I am wearing glass alway.

I already bought that VN one. But I still want this one. I am not using for macro. I am going to use it with manual focus lens. I am going to start play with Pentax Takumar M42 lens now.

It will works with can be used on any Minolta XE, XD, XK, XG, X700 or

and SRT 100 or SRT 200 series cameras.

But I want to use it with rebel xt.

Does any one has experience? Tks a lot!

Tks for every one.

Test result make me feel better now.

Damn 70-200/F4. 200 side is really soft. others is beautiful!

Tks for all the reply. I will do some test this weekend and let the photo make the decision.

Thank you guys very much!

I am sure it is the front elements.

I post this question here is just because I am not a super experience used lens guy. I used to have a used 28-135 IS. That one even worse but it works realy well.

I just want to know whether it is a problem or it is normal for a used lens.

Tks for the reply.

Just got a EF 70-200/F4 from a member here But I found a problem: If I

shake the lens I can feel the front elements is moving. I try serval

other EF lens I own and I can not find the same problem.

I think the front elements should be securing.

If it is a problem I will ask a refund right. So please let me know.

Tks a lot!

It should be cheap than Eurape. But the price will not be really good in ShangHai. You can find some good deal in GuangZhou.

Actually I suggest you buy lens in Hongkong(Same price in B&H).

I got the lens from a member here - He is such a nice guy!

I got the adapter from ebay:

Something like this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7540058743

I am sorry I do not have EF 50/1.4 because I think it is too expensive. But to be honst the zeiss 50/1.4 + adapter cost is close to EF 50/1.4 already.

But I like this Zeiss 50/1.4. Because it make me take photo slowly. So I have more time to see from the view finder. It is like just for fun and actually there are a lot of fun to use this MF lens.

Another one.

Just did the resize.

But I did not use the RAW so maybe...

Just got the Zeiss 50 1.4 and mount it to my 10D.

This is a test photo

I think it is at F4.

At last I got the CRUMPLER 7 MILLION DOLLAR HOME and I am really happy

with it.

I put 10D with 17-40/F mounted in it. plus another 2 lens.

I am very like it.

If anyone want to bag can fit the camera like me and does not like a

camera bag I think this bag is right for you.

WIll do it again but only on the rebel xt - because the EFS lens can not be mount to 10D.

The reason I did this test is actually I want to know how much better the L compare to the the most cheap lens. So I can know when I should use the cheap one and when I should use the L. You know sometime it is now worth to use the L.

Maybe the next test will be in this weekend because I also want to test the color. I have to find some place which I can test the detail and color.

Gediminas P: If someone always want to use the lens at F8 I really do not think he need any good lens. I want to the F4 with 17-40/F4 because I need it.

I got the EF 17-40/F4 with 600US$ and the 18-55 maybe worth 100US$ so it is only 6 times expensive.

My point is if someone want to buy the EOS rebel XT or 20D maybe he should buy the body only and add 500$ to buy the EF 17-40.

Sheldon Hambrick: For my understanding if I make a big photo smaller the photo should be better. Mabybe I was worng.

Anyway I try test the both lens on rebel xt again later and post the result.

Tks.

Just a simple test. Hopfully it is useful for someone.

Both at 24 ,F4,1/850s.

The 17-40/F4 is mounted on 10D and the 18-55 is mounted on the rebel xt.

I use M mode and shoot RAW format.

The photo is 100% crop with out any adjustment except the photo come

out from rebel xt is resize to the same size as the other one.

For me the result is clear:

The EF 17-40 is worth it's price!

I have Sprint Pro.

I feel it is OK for my 10D+17-40/F4.

But it does not support quick release - that's really bad.

Still I just want get a camera bad which does not like a camera bag.

So if I do not put the lenshood on can it fit?

I am think about to buy that bad. Anyone has experience?

Tks.

I am think abot hoya now becase 1 b+w=2 hoya.

That's mean I can spend same money get 2 uv. So when I damage one I can just simplely use anther new one.

I heard there are some problem with some UV. So can anyone who own

this lens and use UV please post the extatly UV name(modal) here. If

you can post the link should be even better.

I am going to order one from the internet so I have to make sure of it.

b+w or hoya should my best choice.

Tks.
