Photo Forum / Film Photography / 35 mm / November 2006Picking the proper lens for your 5D
There's absolutely no sense in buying a 5D unless you are going to mate it with the proper lens. http://www.auto-tel.com/ebay/200mmf215.JPG Rita Rita ?

The driving issue here is that 99.9875% of Japanese could never tell the difference between a Kobe and a Black Angus cut. Even cheap Angus has the Kobe marbling. They are kissing the ground if they are lucky enough to get a good American steak. Kobe is great and I agree with you that it is highly overrated like Canon glass. A good compliment to any steak is an 8oz. baked potato locked and loaded with butter and Cooper CV Sharp (White not yellow) cheese. Now, the old Nikkor is the standard were others are judged. You can't tell me that the old 5D doesn't look like it is very happy? That's artwork and utter perfection.

(Like the proverbial 800 lb. gorilla, a $4000 lens will mount on any camera it wants...:^) Rita Ä Berkowitz <ritaberk2O04 @aol.com> wrote: > There's absolutely no sense in buying a 5D unless you are going > to mate it with the proper lens. > http://www.auto-tel.com/ebay/200mmf215.JPG > Rita Hummm. I'm trying to remember the laws of Genetic Inheritance from High Schooll biology. Wouldn't such a mating be apt to produce offspring at a ratio of 1-2-1: one phenomenally great photographic instrument, 2 so-so instruments and one poor quality device that would barely produce acceptable snap-shots? ;) |
