Make sure to check my IG
@dens415
what body you shooting with? got pretty much the same lens lineup as i do if you swap the fisheye for the 18-55 kit lens.
prob. my favorite shot i've gotten out of the 10-22mm. LOVE that lens. a lot more versatile than you might think.

Every time I'm in the street I hear YAK YAK YAK YAK!!!
This 5DM2 is cool, but I need a better lens.
I feel like I'm not getting the maximum picture quality with this plastic 50mil.
A 17-40L would be nice... some money to buy it would be cool too.
Oh yeah, here's the picture I took today. I posted it on the previous page, but it was the last post
on that page. It's a dope picture, so I'm posting it again to ensure you get to see it.
Tell me it's not a dope pic and I'll find you and give you a hug.

Can't believe I took this picture with a damn plastic film camera.
Henri-Cartier Bresson's approach to taking pictures involved capturing
the "decisive moment"... He's one of my favorites.
Failed the first time...
Got it.

I just saw that deal on Canon Rumors. Read some reviews and people say the 50 L lens has a hard time auto focusing where as this lens is better at action shots and low light. Bokeh might not be as good but for the price, it seems like a no brainer if that is an issue. I think it is good for what it is and something that has nice to have in your arsenal. Me personally for some reason and even on a full frame, I am having the hardest time getting interesting shots. I really want to get a wide angle again but am struggling on what to get that makes sense for me. I know the 16-35mm is the best bet for the price but it seems like such a pain to lug a zoom lens like that all the time. I do want the 14mm L but it is just way to expensive to get 2mm wider then the zoom. I might even just get the 15mm fisheye to satisfy my needs again but I feel like I am just going to shoot the same crap I did with my Nikon.
Anyone have a 35mm L? Is it a good all around lens? Focus? Sharpness?

I, too, am looking for a fisheye...Hopefully I can find something for rather cheap.

I actually somewhat quoted Ken Rockwell, which you can love or hate. Here's the link and his quote:
"The $1,400 50mm f/1.2 L doesn't do anything much differently, is much bigger and heavier, and doesn't focus as consistently. The 50mm f/1.2 is for astronomers, not action shooters."

while i didn't actually click the link, i can tell you from reading on other forums that the 50L really is a luxury and is only superior in build quality and slightly better background blur. here's a comparison test of the 1.4 vs 1.2L and the differences are subtle at best.

i have the 1.4 and it stays on my camera 90% of the time unless i need to get really wide without being able to move around too much to get the shot. well worth the price point and a great buy at $299.

Anyone into film photography? I've been messing around with my Holga for about a year. Just bought a Fisheye no.2. I also have a Canon AE-1 that I haven't used yet (no time, and SF weather hasn't been too nice to us lately).
Any tips?
