Salt Peanuts Posted July 23, 2011 Report Posted July 23, 2011 The upcoming Canon EVIL may have the same sized senor. I guess they don't want EVIL to lower sales of traditional DSLR. I heard that somewhere as well. It makes sense, smaller the sensor, smaller the lenses can be and size/weight has been one of the big selling point for EVIL cameras. They could go with APS-C sensor, but as you said, that'll eat into the sales of their DSLR and they won't be able to make the lenses all that much smaller due to sensor size (see NEX series). And there's a snowball's chance in hell they'll get into Four Thirds/MFT system. Quote
Knuckledragger Posted July 25, 2011 Author Report Posted July 25, 2011 This is both awesome and hilarious. Quote
mikeymad Posted July 25, 2011 Report Posted July 25, 2011 great now I have been watching lens reviews for the last hour.. Quote
aerius Posted July 25, 2011 Report Posted July 25, 2011 This is both awesome and hilarious. I don't know, I think he should've gone for the compact prime instead. I saw one mounted on a 5D2 at the photo show and it looked pretty funny. Quote

crappyjones123 Posted July 25, 2011 Report Posted July 25, 2011 (edited) you think thats expensive? check out the noctilux im sure theres more expensive glass out there but this is what i keep reading about again and again. http://www.calumetphoto.com/eng/product/leica_noctilux_m_50mm_f_0_95_asph_lens/lc50395?gdftrk=gdfV23423_a_7c1267_a_7c4147_a_7cLC50395 Edited July 25, 2011 by crappyjones123 Quote
VPI Posted July 25, 2011 Report Posted July 25, 2011 Nice pics Jeff. Are those from Vail? Steamboat Springs actually. Some iPhone shots from today's 4-wheeler run to the peak. and one of my trusty Suunto after a filthy day on the mountain. Quote
Knuckledragger Posted July 25, 2011 Author Report Posted July 25, 2011 aerius is trolling. The compact prime is product meant for the motion picture industry, that they adapted to fit Canon (and Nikon) DSLRs. It sits somewhere between the novelty/collector's toy of a Noctilux (as ) and an esoteric professional tool. It's rated in transmission stops and marked in feet for a focus puller. It's main claim to fame is that it has full frame coverage, so it can be used to shoot video with a 5DII. TBH, that is its intended market: professional production companies who are shooting a scene (or a feature) with the 5DII. Quote
Torpedo Posted July 25, 2011 Report Posted July 25, 2011 Thanks for the clarification. I can imagine most hobbyists aren't really buying those lenses like pretzels (or churros, as we say here), though it's interesting knowing the perfection and features of the lens. Really impressive. Quote
aerius Posted July 25, 2011 Report Posted July 25, 2011 The compact prime is product meant for the motion picture industry, that they adapted to fit Canon (and Nikon) DSLRs. They even have a version for micro 4/3 cameras, I'm waiting for someone to stick one on a GF3. Quote

crappyjones123 Posted July 27, 2011 Report Posted July 27, 2011 Why the hell can't I ever see YouTube links or embedded images on tapatalk. Starting to piss me off. Quote
Salt Peanuts Posted July 27, 2011 Report Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) I've (along with few others here) pretty much stopped using tapatalk once HC moved to the current forum software. Too buggy/unpredictable and mobile theme for the site is not too shabby. Edited July 27, 2011 by Salt Peanuts Quote
VPI Posted July 27, 2011 Report Posted July 27, 2011 Some shots from a cloudy day at Dinosaur National Monument. I thought this guy looked like a monkey/ and this guy a turtle. Quote
Cankin Posted July 27, 2011 Report Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) I'm resisting posting too many of these. Why stop? These are two very interesting cameras lately, X100 vs M9 Edited July 27, 2011 by Cankin Quote

Joel Tjintjelaar Flickr Can someone shed a light to me on how to achieve a sky like his photo? Is it PP or through use of certain filters? Thanks Quote
