<p>Listen to Bryan!<br>

Search your manual for - how to turn OFF your image preview. Coz by default it's ON (on my camera it's under first RED tab, but i use 5Dmk2) </p>

<p>Mine focus just fine, but 4 studio i use only manual focus. I use live view to assist me in manual focus and it works really great especially when i use lens wide open 4 close portraits.</p>

<p>Yes, i increased sharpening in DPP from 3 to 5, and i also corrected white balance, but that's it.<br>

The quection was if this lens worth it's price, i think it worth every penny.<br>

In my experience Sigma lenses are great and definately they worth their price, but to find any differences in IQ between Canon and Sigma you need to be really picky<br>

sorry 4 my english :)</p>

LOL i can use this one as my self portrait :)</p><div></div>

<p>Canon 24-70 L lens is Great! Superb image quality. i have it for about three months allready - it's the best IQ zoom in this FL range!</p><div></div>

...khm sorry :)

Try to shot a burst while following running player one of the shots should be sharp

- i've read it somewhere in this forum about IS alternative :) try to rent 70-200L IS it have nice panning IS for your situation

Thanks a lot for all your comments.

 

I really needed real users opinion coz looking at charts and sample tests over and over made me sick. :) i just

wanted to buy reasonable amount of lenses to cover my needs that's why i'm so picky about IQ and i didn't mean

that 24-105 is not good - it's awesome lens and i've read a LOT about it. but 105 is too long for me + i really wantet

to get every tiny little bit of IQ possible without going ower the limit of crazyness in lens quantity

 

Thanks a Lot to all who answered to my topic

 

p.s. any more comments welcome

at digitalpicture(dot)com in ISO chart 24-70 is better than 24-105 + i would be perfect combo with 70-200

 

im thinking 24f/3.5 T/S or 24f/1.4II + 24-70f/2.8 + 85f/1.2II + (maybe) 70-200f/2.8is

 

p.s. to Rainer: if i would be crazy enought to buy all that lenses at once - it would be cheaper to hire some smart ass to make pictures for me.

Hi, i know you guys like to talk about lenses, so...

I will get 5D mark II for my b-day in december... BUT i want to get couple lenses with it too. i don't really need "kit"

lens (i know it's "L", i know it's good) my problem is - GOOD is not enought! i've read reviews... 24-70 L seems to

be the winner to me compare to 24 105 in image quality, and i need portrait lens(es) too, 50 1.2L or 85 1.2L by the

info i found about those two - 85 seems like the winner in IQ. basically i'm asking YOU (big photography guys with

expirience and awesome portfolios) to help me to build my lens collection. i'm gonna shoot from landscapes to

portraits and i want all the best IQ i can get from my camera.

P.S. i use to have XTi + "Tamron Kit lenses" i was getting awesome results (compare to what i can get from P&S :)

i want TOP SHELF now, and i'm asking your advice.

thanks in advance

 

Alex

 

p.p.s.: sorry 4 my english :) i shoot better than speak :)

Hello,

In advance - sorry for my english :)

Let's not talk about money...

I want to buy lens or set of couple lenses for "traveling" (every day there's a

moment when you may feel sorry for not taking some lens with you)

So, i have a choise to get: Canon EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L IS USM

or Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM plus one wide angle lens (i chose

Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM becouse its combination of f/2.8 & IS)

I chose those lenses becouse they are pretty fast and image stabilazed,

plus they cover allmost every situation,

my quection is: am i getting equal image quality and sharpness in both variants

or there's something i miss?

Thanks
