Making phone calls -- NEX-5 & OM 35mm f2. Click for larger.
I have decided not to do any more lens comparisons for the next little while. I find it extremely boring and tedious. My apologies. If I do decide to do it again, it would be once in a while.
Another change of plan, is the camera upgrades. I have wanted a 5D II for over a year now, and it looks like the price is not coming down. I have decided to upgrade my 1D IIn to a 1D III instead. Looking back at the files I have with the original 1D III I had, I am very happy with the image quality, especially high ISO images. ISO 3200 looks fantastic and that's probably the highest I would need for most shootings. I would have kept the 1D III if it were not for the auto focus issues. I am now looking for one that has a sub-mirror fixed in the factory, or Blue-Dot version of the camera. Hopefully by the end of the week, I will have a 1D III again.
It was interesting while it lasted, but to be honest the differences were not miles apart. Are you 100% sure about a 1D III, the Sony NEX-7 could be just around the corner?
ReplyDeleteSimilar lenses usually do not have huge differences in performance, especially when it comes to higher grade gear.
ReplyDeleteI need a fast camera to shoot my kid's sport events. The 1D III is just an upgrade for my existing 1D IIn. when the NEX-7 comes out and if it's worth upgrading, I will save up for it.
You may not have noticed but the words for STARBUCKS COFFEE has specific letters covered up by foliage and signage. When I first glanced at the photo I thought it said F UCK OFF. ROFLOL!! Did you subliminally see that and snapped it. :)
