Super wide-angle lenses.

Got any pics for us, bwana?
Do you have a 35mm Canon camera to use it on? Got a FF? I'm interested to see some of your photos from that lens.

Sorry - I've got a Pentax and Minolta but no 35mm Canon or ff available.

I used to have a nice test shot of a bench next to a broken wall but we've since fixed it (the wall) and it doesnt have the same depth.

I'll take some more photos when I have a moment. Maybe this afternoon or tonight. I'll need the super wide to fit the cake in with all those candles.

on your 400d it's just a normal wide-angle
but optically it should be good
nice and fast too - good for indoors
16mm works out to about 26mm (FF equivalent)
16mm + f/2.8 + digital = you can shoot in the dark

I cant find a definition for super wide-angle.

Its a nice fast fun lens.

EDIT - I found "Extreme wide-angle" but those are fish-eye lenses.

How about some clouds from this morning?

[ldmelsa]

nice
Is that on your 400d? (so that would be 16mm x 1.6 = 26mm in FF terms)

You got that ultra wide lens. Now you need a FF.
How about a 2nd hand Canon 35mm for the time being. (people are practically giving them away) I think you should consider it if a deal comes up that's a steal. (while you wait for 5dmk2)
I would not wait for the 5dmk2 - too much money. (5d is superb - certainly most image for the money)

[bwana]

thanks - and yes that was on the 400D.

TBH I've really got no interest going back to film - at least until I have the time/space for a darkroom (even though it used to give me wicked eczema).

I'm waiting for the 5D's successor in the hope that the 5D's prices will fall. After the lens I'm kind of tapped out atm

Shame, your shops are crap. That sucks.

After speaking to many people, I've realized that the shop I go to is quite good.
7MP scans (more detailed than 7MP digital cam)
R25 for developing & scanning



Not bad.

Talking about ultra wide lenses:
Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 is very good for crop factor cams.

Very nice! K1000 or one of the Canons?

Can you post a full 7MP for pixel peeping?

What's wrong with the shops I use? Apart from them not hiring out equipment they seem fairly knowledgeable and are certainly helpful.

The Strelitzia is K1000 + 50mm + Fuji Superia 200
The two on the left were taken with EOS3 + 28-135 IS + Kadak Gold 200

Where? Do you know of websites that allow such res?

PS They use the Noritsu S2 film scanner.

I thought you said you developed your film at home. I assumed you did this because the shop did not do it right.

Flickr? Or was "7MP" a typo?

Is that an older model? I don't see it on their website. Found one pic in goolge though - looks like bigger pro stuff.

I don't have a pro account.

yes

Aah sorry, I didn't think about that. Google Picasa Web Albums offers a way around. You can hide all your albums from public view, but at the same time give you a link that you can give to someone to find it. I'll PM you an example.

The one thing I don't like about it is if you hit the zoom icon, it literally zooms the small version, instead of loading the larger version. But there's still a link on the right hand side to see the full version.
