it's funny you said that Ds... had another suggestion for that exact lens from a guy on the photography forum i'm on, i'll add it to "the list"

Dsphoto · 04-23-2011, 10:36 PM

Yup. It's a major sleeper. Not as flashy and fas as the 300f2.8 but plenty sharp and light. My fav long prime is the 135f2, now that's a great lens. Also love the 200f2 but it's really expensive.

HKYStormFront · 04-24-2011, 09:17 AM

yea the 135 f/2 is on that same list. i <3 that lens a lot, can't wait to shoot cars with it on a FF camera... hopefully next year

The 135 f/2 is superb -- but 15yrs old now. For the price it's an absolute bargain, but as tempting as it is I wouldn't be surprised if it's on Canon's update list, adding IS to the next ver. On a 1.6x crop body (7D etc) you'll be at 216mm and IS is a definite advantage at that focal length, particularly in low light.

FWIW I quite like the pics from 6spd earlier in the thread. Nice atmos.

No new 135f2 coming anytime soon.

HKYStormFront · 04-24-2011, 11:27 PM

i wouldn't get any more lenses than i have now (17-40 f/4, 28-70 f/2.8, 70-200 f/4, 50 f/1.8) until i get back in a full frame camera, hopefully later this year. things are looking that way if i can discipline my wallet after i get my credit card paid off and sell my 7D before the value tanks

Dsphoto · 04-25-2011, 07:00 AM

Used values will rise in the short term. Start saving.

Any news on the 8-15mm delays and when they expect them to be selling in (decent numbers in-) the US?

i still have yet to pick up a 7D... so if you do end up selling it send me a message

I'll hopefully be picking up a new lens soon... trying to narrow it down to what though. I really like the 85 1.2 but damn is it $$$$

HKYStormFront · 04-27-2011, 01:11 PM

yea the 85 f/1.2 is uhhhhmazing

If you want to save a few bucks buy a used v1 85f1.2. Same awesome optics but slightly slower focus speed. You won't notice much difference with a 7d
