CANON現在美國正在大特價

Kaj

dright, you should buy the 218 from eBay.  It is about $3000-$4000, still cheaper than the 220...

Here is some comments on what is good bokeh:

By the way, 85L is a great great great legendary Canon lens, but it is only great for taking picture for Mei Mei...  70-200 is more convenient when you shoot people, landscape and sport...[s:58] [s:58] [s:58]

現在你曉得為什麼我的85L比較少出勤的原因了吧…
不過我的女朋友過幾天就要來陪我啦，哈哈哈哈！

Ken Rockwell... 我是常看他的文章啦，但他說的話我是有的信有的不信
重點是，他對於bokeh品質的定義還是不科學…
問題是，bokeh品質可以有科學的定義嗎？
(請把這一段話當成LDS吧 :-) )
(其實上一段話也滿LDS的…)

Hi, dright. Do you think 70mm end is still too long on x1.6 body for portrait?
It looks like the EF-S 55-250mm IS is a better fit (more useful focal range) for my 20D -- don\'t compare the image quality to white lenses. From many reviews, it\'s not bad at all considering its price. This probabily enough for me.[s:19]
BTW, it\'s out of stock everywhere here in U.S!

看你要拍那種人像吧
我覺得在1.6 crop body上，24-70L比較適合拍人像
全身的、半身的、大頭照都可用
但我還是會盡量把85L拿出來用，因為畫質實在有差
70比較適合拍半身的照片
55-250焦段是不錯啦，又便宜，只是我覺得它的光圈不夠大
其實買來用個兩年，如果覺得光圈不夠大，再去買個大光圈的也不遲
Canon鏡的畫質不會差到那去，而且有人說55-250畫質比75-300 IS好哩
便宜的好處是，換鏡時就算懶得把老鏡賣出去也不覺得虧

我沒用過55-250，只能從照片中猜…
1. 沒有focus distance limiter，所以對焦的速度可能不會很快
2. IS沒有分mode 1 及 mode 2，可能新的IS線路會自動偵測腳架吧…
3. MF對焦環好細…

我不覺得買這鏡頭有什麼不好就是了
當你用個鏡頭，拍了很多照片，努力把照片拍好，然後發現你的鏡頭已經跟不上你的標準了
這就是進步的痕跡

BTW, Kaj, the rebate does work with 42nd St. Photo!  All the rebate forms I found require that the camera and printer be bought from some specific dealers.

Kaj

55-250 is excellent lens....  But it is EF-S...  If your budget is OK, just go for 70-200f4IS ba.....  [s:30] [s:30]   Trust me, when you get used to 17-55mm picture quality, you won\'t satisfy 55-250....  [s:18] [s:18]   If you are so so serious on taking great pictures for Mei Mei, then go for the 85LII...  F1.2 won\'t disappoint you.....  [s:30] [s:30]

Kaj

dright, I saw your flick....  You took lots of landsape and macro flower photos...  I think you need the 5D for sure.....  [s:54] [s:54] [s:54] 1.6x just wastes your 85L power....  [s:63] [s:63] [s:63]

dright

其實我也想在結婚大限之前買下5D :-)
不過離rebate期限還有兩個月，不用那麼急

Kaj

結婚大限?  Congratulations first!!!  [s:45] [s:45] [s:34] [s:34]   Yeah, you better buy as many equipments as possible before you get married.  After that, you will be hopeless to buy anything....  [s:46] [s:46]

I am still debating to buy a new 5D or an used 1DsII in eBay....  I don\'t have that much faith in 5D after seeing lots of people are suffering on 5D bugs.....[s:9] [s:9] [s:9]

eec

dont buy both, go buy 1D II N[s:54]

joejoe9

Kaj, you are absolutely right.
I guess I will want to buy 70-200 F4 IS after I get the 55-250 since the image quality of 17-55 is really great.
真是不歸路阿!

joejoe9

Congradulation, dright. What kaj said is true -- you better get all the gears you want before you marry.[s:19]
5D is really awesome![s:33]  But it looks like the 5D II is coming soon.

dright

各位放心，我的女朋友很善解人意的
我的30D及一些鏡頭也是她來找我的時候買的，她也沒什麼反對
我怕的只是結婚後錢會比較緊而已
還有半年的單身期，要做的事還真多啊…

Kaj，我覺得1DS2和5D價錢差一倍，有那麼難決定嗎？
有錢就買1DS2，沒錢就買5D
我是不太喜歡1D系列那種大台的機身啦(可能是酸葡萄心理)

joejoe，等你拿到了55-250就post點照片吧
說不定畫質意外的好看，你就不會想買小小白IS了
如果你也住東岸，八月底等我畢業了說不定我們可以見個面，我可以把我的小小白IS借你用用看

英語時間…
eec，你應該說don\'t buy either
don\'t buy both是指兩者選一個買吧的思

婚前我老婆也不反對我買任何東西, 但婚後.......  [s:25] [s:38] [s:13] [s:41]
希望你不會有我這種情況出現...[s:34] [s:34] [s:45] [s:45]

我的英文水平差了, 還跟人說自己是大學生[s:48]

沒錯喔, 婚前錢是你的, 婚後錢就是她的[s:19]

joejoe9

dright, 被你們講講看來不敗入小小白IS真是對不起自己是C家的
I just checked this website: www.the-digital-picture.com
to compare the resolutoin of 55-250 and 小小白IS
小小白IS blows out 55-250 in any aspect. That website also has pictures to compare the two lenses.
As you know, I can only accept pictures equal or better than 17-55 now[s:46]
I really wish that Canon can make a lens like \"EF-S 55-150 F2.8 IS USM\" one day.

我以前也在東岸(NY)待過兩年說
西岸這裡周圍的人都是N家的多
