I've known about this lens for a long time, read all the raves, etc., and
last night a fellow photog let me borrow his at a concert we were both
shooting. I'm using a 30D. All I can say is I've joined the choir - wow,
what an incredible lens. I've been reviewing images from the evening and
the best just blow me away. It has shot right up to the top of my buy it
now list. This lens strikes me as almost perfect, handled well.
Question: what other lenses in the Canon line-up have had this impact on
you?
To Ken and the group,
As you can read, your message got through. I too, have experienced this
problem in the past or seen my posts arrive way out of sequence.
As a commercial photographer, the 100mm f2.8 Macro has had the most impact
on me. When I first bought my 1Ds, I got it with zoom lenses. I was
disappointed in the image quality until I got the 100mm Macro. For product
and portrait work, this lens is ideal. Autofocus is fast, accurate and a
boon to my aging eyes.
Subsequently, I bought a 50mm f1.4 and found that it too delivers a good
image. But the loose front element on this lens has always made me wonder
about Canon design. My ancient Nikon 105mm f2.5 Macro, and, to a lesser
extent, the Nikon 50mm f1.4 can still beat my current Canon lenses. Not
everything newer is sharper.
