new lens

Fri Nov 13, 2009, 9:16 AM
just a quick journal entry,

as those that watch me may know i have become very dissillusioned with the performance of my canon 16-35mm on my 5d mk2 the abberation and softness are terrible and frankly just not good enough, any thing that means i have to spend more time infront of a computer needs to be negated. Obviously it has its uses and i doubt i'll sell it, but im curious to see some results with a prime, i know my 24mm tse produces great images, as does my little 50mm 1.4.....

So i thought i'd have a go with canon's 14mm l mk2,







ive been looking around for a while and once again patience is the key, you can buy this lens in the UK retail for about £1800, ebay does 'buy it nows' from china for about £1400, this morning i thought i'd just have a look again and found a UK lens used about twice for a buy it now of £1250.....needless to say i bit his hand off....

So my eagerly awaited lens arrives on monday.....lets hope i dont end up selling this for the carl zeiss 18mm canon fit!!







The weather is very stormy at the moment so i may go to cornwall for the weekend and see if i can find some big waves, hope you all have a good weekend
