ens performance doesn't depend on the amount of light well, that's something new to me )

@MichaelClark Ziess doesn't have AF, otherwise we wouldn't have this discussion and I've already bought Zeiss 35mm f/1.4. What I meant is that Zeiss lens did let much more light through. Canon 85mm f/1.2 is definitely brighter than the Zeiss f/2 though

it's a shame though. because according to this test: facebook.com/… the bokeh on canon can get REALLY ugly (

well, i'm going to be using it at f/1.4 a lot. no point in buying a f/1.4 lens to use it at f/2. And the deal breaker for me is that it appears to eat less light than the canon as I feared (this is extremely important to me)

well, it's about time, and for 50mm f/1.2 too.

well, this looks interesting: amazon.com/review/R90LRWO9H0HO8/… On the copies I have, the sigma offers no increase in sharpness or image quality when compared to the canon, a substantial step or two down in terms of vignetting, and requires approximately 1/3 of a stop slower shutter speed to expose the photo equivalently to the canon. Looks like a deal breaker for me ((

hehe. as canon proved by producing plasticky version of 24-70 which costs twice as much )

also, what worries me is that I don't understand why Sigma is nearly twice as cheap as Canon. It's not Canon, that's $200 discount. Where are the other $300?

The oft rumored EF 35 f/1.4L II is being talked about again. We’re told an announcement for the new “L” prime will only happen once the new EF 24-70 f/2.8L II begun shipping in decent quantity. That would put the announcement sometime in 2012 with availability probably being in early 2013. One patent for the optical forumla has been around for a while. The rumor has come and gone many times already

) ok. what I'm deciding between is canon L and sigma lenses, and to me canon f/2 won't ever out-perform the canon L lens, so it's out of the equation. I simply don't think it's up to the task. I'm not considering sigma because it's cheaper, only because it might be better

I'm personally of an opinion that no amount of IS can compensate for reduced aperture in a lens. And the f/2 is a non-L lens, meaning that the quality of the image is going to suffer. Thanks, but no, thank you

comment What lenses can I mount on Canon that will give me a different, exotic look for portrait photography?
I've made a comparison between Zeiss 100mm and Canon 85mm based on one of my photo shootings: photo.iathao.com/reviews/zeiss_100mm_vs_canon_85mm.pdf . For the end result: when using Canon 85mm, you get the journal look, while when using Zeiss 100mm, you get the movie look. Both are exceptional

the Elmarit 180mm looks promising. Thanks! Any idea on how it compares to 70-200 ii in terms of IQ?

comment What lenses can I mount on Canon that will give me a different, exotic look for portrait photography?
My main problem with R-mount lenses is, that I don't feel like they are better than available Canon lenses. For example, for me, noctilux looks distinctively better than canon 50mm f/1.2, while none of the summilux f/1.4 (avaliable with R-mount) lenses matches it

They are excellent. But they can't be mounted on canon. I'll love to buy M10 one day, but I'm not there yet

comment Canon 50mm lens: f/1.2 L or f/1.4? Alternative brands?
my vote's for zeiss. at f/1.4 it's darker than canon f/1.2 (if you care for those things), but the colors are awesome. I have zeiss 100mm f/2, and did compare it to the canon 85mm f/1.2 for portrait photography. Compared to zeiss, 85mm's colors looked dull and uninteresting

it's always row. to me, shooting jpeg is like shooting polaroid. You are stuck with what you've got
