Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / September 2006Wide angle IS makes sense...
The question of IS/VR usefulness still seems to come up a lot. -Especially questions about why anyone would care to have IS at wide angle. Here's an example of a room that was VERY dimly lit (despite the brighter look due to purposeful exposure). This is hand-held at 24mm (REAL 24mm, shot on the full frame 5D) at f5.6 and 1/10th second, using the 24-105 f4 IS: http://www.pbase.com/markuson/image/66057618/original For interiors where you don't want a nasty blast of flash, or in places where tripods & flash are forbidden, you really do benefit. This would be a completely usable shot. This isn't an extreme example, but it is well beyond the typical hand-held "guidelines..." I really should try it even slower just for kicks, but this was the shot I took because it was the aperture I wanted. BTW--This is the spot I'm sitting in as I type this... :) -Mark²  SignatureImages (Plus Snaps & Grabs) by Mark² at: www.pbase.com/markuson > The question of IS/VR usefulness still seems to come up a lot. -Especially > questions about why anyone would care to have IS at wide angle.

Wasn't a rather similar (exact duplicate!) posted in another photo group?? Shame!

Thanks Joan, I didn't see the other NG. I have been thinking of getting an A3 printer for a while now, but I think I have just changed my mind :-) I never realised A2 printers existed until now. Damn it, more expense! :-) Cheers Mick >> Mark explained it in the other group.

Epson's 9800 prints 44 inches wide (about 116cm), and as long as you want. My 4000 prints 17 inches wide and long as you like... To the right of me sits a panorama print that's about 44 inches long and 17" tall...of this shot: http://www.pbase.com/markuson/image/36134121/original -Mark² SignatureImages (Plus Snaps & Grabs) by Mark² at: www.pbase.com/markuson >>> Mark explained it in the other group.

That's a very nice landscape of Haleakala, lovely colours etc. I can imagine that the Panoramic version looks great. I printed out a panorama of Ryde seafront (Isle of Wight) on my A4 printer a few days ago, just to see what it looked like printed, but I had to print it on separate sheets of paper and tape them together, which spoils the effect a bit, but it still looks ok considering. It turned out 7 A4 sheets wide (10in high 49in wide) but I would love to see it 17in high and um very wide lol :-) ATB Mick >>> The question of IS/VR usefulness still seems to come up a >>> ot. -Especi" [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Different newsgroup = different people = different feedback :-) what's so > shamefull about that? It's customary to cross post to closely related groups so that those of us who participate in multiple NG's don't have to read repetitive posts. It also allows wider participation, as the readership isn't one for one the same. The word "shame" is way over doing it, but I think Mark squared would guffaw; that was the intention, anyway. SignatureJohn McWilliams >The word "shame" is way over doing it, but I think Mark squared would >guffaw; that was the intention, anyway. Ok that's it! I've had enough! Stop using fancy words like "guffaw" that people don't understand! Geezes...some people are so insensitive! Heh! OOTC - I like photography. :-) >> The word "shame" is way over doing it, but I think Mark squared would >> guffaw; that was the intention, anyway.

If you cross-post (as in posting with multiple NGs in the "to" line), people often miss it entirely due to screen of cross-posts as a means of defeating trolls. I participate in 3 photo NGs, so I see no reason why I should choose only one...or two. You can't please everyone... "Shame"? None here! ;) SignatureImages (Plus Snaps & Grabs) by Mark² at: www.pbase.com/markuson |
