Hi,

 

<p>

 

Currently I'm using a 35-80 mm lens on my EOS 5 camera body. A lot of times i end up with someone being cut of from the image area coz' the wide end of the lens can't cope up specially where there's no room to back down. I'm planning to buy a more wider one with a minimum budget on hand and I'm considering Samyang 18-28. Is there anyone out there knows anything about this lens' performance? Any info will be of help.

Thanks Jim for the info.

It seems that's a nice alternative but i do wedding and not just the

usual picture taking...shooting an entourage while having your camera

stuck on a monopod...well you know what.

I'm wondering if its the only zoom lens that Canon made having a

75-300mm focal length...I'm planning to have the same range with an

IS control.

Thanks Jim, I guess I'm not hopeless after all. Lots of thanks!

Is there anyone outher who knows of any replacement batteries other than 2cr5 to power the EOS 5 A2E. I guess i've already read such inquiry a long time ago and wishing that there's already development regarding this matter. I use my camera extensively and I do a lot of metering and high speed advance thats why I use a lot of power. I also knew that there's a battery pack for the EOS 5 but when I saw my friend using one I find it very cumbersome since it has this sort of tel. cord. Anyone?

Its worth the price. As far as image quality is concern its basically

the same lens with some sort of elec. device that take cares of small

jitters that we often encounter when handholding long lenses. With

this lens you'll be able to use much slower speed to enable you to

utilize low light environment. It will be helpful specially when

taking picture of kids.

Basically you already got the right lens. With this lens you can

shoot almost anything that can come up in the ceremony. Take some

snap shots of the entourage as they wait outside setting themselves up

and after the ceremony. Use ASA 400 films like Kodak and Fuji. When

I do wedding I use a slower speed as much as I can to capture the

ambient light, say 15th/sec or 30th/sec but be sure to be extra still

other wise you end up having a lightful of blurred images.

I hope this won't come late.

Good luck!

I still have an AE-1P and AE-1 cameras as well as other A Canon series

...lets say i'm an avid Canon user. I tell you when i finally got my

hands on an F1n I realized that i'm holding on this very fine piece of

machine. First, it feels very rugged enough to take punishment ( of

course you won't allow that to happen) and the gadgetries that come

along with it. A series comes along with an average metering system

while with the F-1n you can change its metering pattern by changing

its focusing screen.

Attaching an AE head on it and you got aperture priority mode. Again

attachinfg a motordrive or a winder and you got shutter speed

priority. With this piece of equipment you can do quite a heck of a

job.

And also before i forget there's one characteristic tha i love most of

all about this camera it can fire its shutter from 60 to 2000 without

battery.

It's worth to have one if you own some of Canon's exotic L series

lenses but if you don't, forget it.

I guess it will depend on the distance of the subject you are shooting

at. The more distant your subject are the greater chance that your

flash "might" not be able to cope up.

You need not to worry about those dial. If you'll just turn them

mildy i assure you it will last you a long time.

I got the same querry too. But with EOS5.

Neville, i just stumble upon your querry and here's what you can have.

I have tried once with fill flash on shutter priority mode but

without using or disengaging the eye control; that is letting the

camera choose the focusing zone. And i say i got one fine shot...try

it.

This lens in my opinion is a product of breakthrough tech

incorporating 24, 35, 50, 85, 105, and 120 in one barrel. But will

surely take its toll on the quality of image you are taking.

I agree on what John said about Canon's flexibility when it comes to

pricing their lenses and so with you about the quality of image these

two giant camera makers does. Nikon just happen to be somewhat had a

good start in producing photo equip and they're capitalizing on their

name. I both own a Nikon and Canon camera bodies so I for one know

that one is not to superior from the other.

I think there's something wrong with the shutter. If even the edges

of the frames are not visible at all there is a possibility that the

shutter is not opening at all. Did you try to use flash in any frame

at all?
