revolink24 Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 I don't know how many of you saw these already, but I'll post them anyway. I'll list the Exif for picture 2, as that's the better one. Pentax K-x, | f/13 | 1/40s Shot in Aperture Priority with automatic white balance (Yes, I'm lazy.) RAW conversion in Lightroom, no other postprocessing. Taken with Pentax D FA 100mm 2.8 Macro WR. Entry level DSLR bodies and pro-level glass actually make an awesome combo. Oh, and one more thing: Yes, I know I need a sensor cleaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPI Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Took tons of pictures today at the Bronx Zoo. Everyone with a Canon should have a 70-200 in the bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Nice shots, Jeff. I especially like the last monkey one. Everyone with a Canon should have a 70-200 in the bag. I wish I had one (along with a new bag so 70-200 would fit). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always have my 24-70 and 70-200 in the bag with the 5DMkII. I loves them both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkon Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 I'd love to see a 50-120mm f/4L or f/2.8L. I feel like I'd use that just as often as the 70-200 and 24-70. 17-40L on 400D. Only contrast and color balance in post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Well, they do have 24-105 f/4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPI Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 I had a line of one of those locally to try out but never got the pick up scheduled. I don't think I would use it much but it would have its purposes. Especially on the FFs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 (edited) Considering you already have 24-70 & 70-200, I doubt you'd use it either. I want one eventually so I can just carry it and 10-22 when I'm out and about, instead of carrying my primes. EDIT - I supposed I'd be able to do the same with 24-70, but I want bit more reach since longest focal length I've got now is 85.

Been considering getting a 24-105 as well... in theory I think it would be a great outdoor walk-around with the coverage it can provide.

falkon Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 24-105 is great, but 50-120 would be better, if it could be as sharp as the other 2. The 24-105 is about par with the 17-40 in terms of optics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monkey Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 My lenses so far are the kit lenses for the Nikon D50--18-55 and 55-200. I also have the 35mm fixed. I would much prefer an 18-200. Is the basic Nikon one a good lens? Any other suggestions for lenses? I'm looking for something fast that is also forgiving of a lousy photographer.

Salt Peanuts Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 I could see Canon making something along 50-120 range in EF-S mount as that would approximate 70-200 for their crop sensor, though it's probably not likely. It would be nice if Canon released more EF-S lenses for those of us not upgrading to FF anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Dinny, check out the reviews here. Nikon / Nikkor (APS-C) Lens Tests I know nothing about Nikon lenses (and very little about Canon lenses for that matter), but reviews here are generally well received.

The 24-105 is about par with the 17-40 in terms of optics. So it's not quite 50-120 and not from Canon, but I found these. 691101 Sigma 50-150mm f/2.8 EX DC HSM II Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon EOS Digital Cameras.

falkon Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Yep, I've considered those, but I think in the end, I'd prefer the 24-105 for the build quality and USM. The Tokina is far better than the Sigma but lacks USM. If I end up going Nikon, I will pick up the 24-120mm if the reviews are positive.
