Photo Forum / Film Photography / 35 mm / August 2008Aussie beauty is really just a laughing jackass.
Actually it's a laugh at Canon's best lens. Who'd pay $2k+ for a 50mm lens that provides chromatic aberrations at no extra charge? LOL. No chromatic aberrations from this Sigma lens with Kenko 1.4x extender. Unlike the Canon F/1.4 "top of the range" 50mm lens that cost more than this lens and extender combined. ROTFL... You listening out there Bret? This one is for you sweetheart! Aussie, aussie, aussie. http://www.d-mac.info/POD/Aussie-beauty.htm > Actually it's a laugh at Canon's best lens.

God, I love that 85/1.4. Rita  SignatureI reject your stupidity and substitute my own! http://ritaberk.myhosting247.com > Actually it's a laugh at Canon's best lens.

[quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > http://www.d-mac.info/POD/Aussie-beauty.htm You better get your facts straight there Douglas. Since when has the Canon 50mm f1.4 lens been $2k+? Which by the way is an extremely sharp lens and perfect for portraits and weddings. OTOH your Sigma 50mm f1.4 lens is far more expensive, and inferior to Canon. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?ci=0&shs=Canon+50mm+f1.4+lens&sb =ps&pn=1&sq=desc&InitialSearch=yes&O=jsp%2FRootPage.jsp&A=search&Q=*&bhs=t&Go.x= 18&Go.y=15 >> Actually it's a laugh at Canon's best lens.

It's the centre of the universe don't you know? Next week it will be the currency by which all other currencies are measured. : >> Actually it's a laugh at Canon's best lens.

Bob > http://www.d-mac.info/POD/Aussie-beauty.htm Good gawd, what awful bokeh! Oh well, nothing that can't be fixed with a little Gaussian Blur. For this one I'd recommend a GB setting of about 1000 pixels. Or better yet, use this quick fix to improve the pic. Add an Adjustment Layer. Select the new layer and choose Edit/Fill. Fill with the color of your choice. Delete the original Background layer. >> http://www.d-mac.info/POD/Aussie-beauty.htm > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Fill with the color of your choice. > Delete the original Background layer. ROTFL Seriously? > Actually it's a laugh at Canon's best lens. Who'd pay $2k+ for a 50mm > lens that provides chromatic aberrations at no extra charge? LOL. [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > http://www.d-mac.info/POD/Aussie-beauty.htm The Canon F/1.4 goes for around $325. I believe you are thinking about the Canon F/1.2, which goes for around $1400. Sigma’s 50mm f/1.4 is around $500. Me I use the Canon 50mm f/1.8, works great for me and cost around $90. If I am going to puta lot of money into a lens it is going to be either longer or shorter then 50mm, at 50mm it does not take a lot of money to make a really good lens.

But I agree, Portra VC is close to untouchable by digital cameras... It's the other half of the story I sold for a few hundred bucks. That is missing. Gone is the smell of chemicals. Replaced by the smell of inks. Gone is the paper processor, Durst enlarger - with a digital head and then I turned the darkroom into a wide format, digital playroom. There's more HD video edited in there these days than still video. In fact... I'm about to sell my personal wide format inkjet. Not enough room for it on a boat! I bought another Mamiya last week 645 AF. I'll eventually buy a digital back for it and substitute the quantity of wedding photography for the quality of a quieter life and foreign people. |
