    Canon vs sigma 35mm f1.4 and f2 IS

    in Canon EOS Mount

    Posted

    <p>Sigma 35mm DG f 1.4 is the best 35mm lens you can buy if u don't use f 16 or higher. I feel it need a lot of light for a class A picture. When shoting in a low light situations where one could not use a flashlight u have a f 1.4 - a barrel wide open without any distortion and great bokeh. On a 1.3 body a 24mm Canon is better when used for a landscape photos though, Canon 17-40 is even better. On the other hand you can use 35mm Sigma as a superb group portrait lens or street photography. Autofocus works fast, Sigma is sharper than Canon 24 mm L lens. I have used it with a Canon 1Ds and 1D MkIII http://www.photo.net/photo/17430340&size=lg</p>

    Best Portrait lens for Canon EOS 7D

    <p>Canon EF 135 mm 1:2 L is excellent portrait lens if you like to take a picture from 2 or 3 meters distance from a subject. Some people also like it for it's black rather than white finish..Wide open it produces nicely blured background. Images are very sharp almost regardless chosen aperture. I use it with 40D and I like that feeling of it's weight comparing with 50 and 85 mm lenses that are also very good for taking portraits. If you take most of your photos with hand-held camera you should have in mind that on a crop sensor camera it is cca 200 mm lens, and the exposure should be about that number, since it is not equiped with IS engine.</p>

    <p>Thank You guys..the subject lens does not work with flash while my old 127 mm does..Lens is otherwise in great condicion so I'l have it in a repair-shop. The space between the rings - the slot is to tight and my eyes to old to fix it myself.. </p>

    <p>Like <a href="/photodb/user?user_id=3915451">Nick Jeftic</a> said it before, "equipment shows its true performance when it is chalanged by demanding circumstances". Try to focus in low light conditions, or on AI servo mode etc. Yet I have to admitt that I've seen outstanding art photos produced with kit lenses. lt depends of what do you need camera/lens for and how versatile are you in using your gear.. </p>

Mark - thanx once more for links. What is steel bothering me is an "Pro EX" abbreviation in the name of a lens? What does it stand for and is it going to work on RB 67 ProS camera?</p>

    <p>I am new in MF. Recently I have purchased a Mamiya RB 67 ProS camera with a 127 mm lens. Taking photos of the landscape I've found this lens not wide enough, so now I am interesting in if Mamiya Sekor RB67 90mm Lens Pro EX (name from the e-bay) will be the one for me? Thank You.</p>

    <p>Kelly, thank you, think I've got a picture; to focus on a closer subject one have to move away the lens from the film and subesequently need more light than shown in a light-meter device? As Gary said, I need exposure compensation. For 127 mm lens everything inside 10 to 1,5 meters need no exposure compensation. How close I am ?</p>
