Ah, finally, found it!

ExposurePlot!

http://www.cpr.demon.nl/prog_plotf.html

Now we can know for sure if we use tele more, or wide, or which end of a zoom, etc. Gonna try this at home!

Do I need it if I was using 85mm prime lense all the way?

thanks! using it now...........

*too bad it doesn't read RAW file.

nice program...
going to use it tonite...to see if i can find 'THE' lense to use
thanks

Ok... I will try to use it. Let's check what it tell for all the pictures with 85mm prime. Maybe it got floating point error and report 85.1?

bleh, after 3 minute it's not even at 25% of collecting files. there's the Analyzing file progress too, it's empty cos obviously it would start after collecting.

much thanks to my 82GB worth of pictures folder. PC specs is E2140@3.2ghz with 4GB RAM, FSB 1600.

most part of my RAM are not allocated to Photoshop though, doing work la but can't resist to try it out.

*now finish typing this post, i think it should be around 50% once that software comes up again. LOL. yeah it's hiding itself now, busy with the work.

or even 84.9??

correction......... not even close to 50%. probably around 40% at most.

Added on May 12, 2008, 5:18 pmthe thing is I only bought the 10-20 recently, so my shots that are under 18mm are pretty limited as of now. dang.

why you guys bother about decimals la? aihh.

i'm still waiting for the results. EXPOSUREplot to show FOCAL distance? anyway, formerly known as FOCALplot.

can't wait to see the results. should be interesting.

I've been shooting with my 50mm prime all the time, so I think any analysis would be redundant?

Maybe later when I can afford a cabinet of lenses... So that I'll know which one to sell off...

Hard to say... Maybe it will report something else? Maybe 48.5mm? Maybe it cheat? Lots of maybe... Let's try it out...

*yawn* haven't reach 60%. aihh......... barely crossed 50%.

silly me, choosing huge folder straight away. oh well.........

Eh, for all you know you might use another lens more and not know it. And you can plan which lens to sell based on this.

oh hey it's done! I didn't realize it. Analysis was damn fast, it didn't pot up to notify me.

hold on.......

Wow... The program is great!

I run throught my photos that shot with 85L and it recommend me to buy the 35L! Cool.... Smart program!

btw. I'm using 35mm equiv.

ehh how did it RECOMMEND you ah?

Added on May 12, 2008, 5:34 pmhrm. interesting.

35mm equivalent mode actually takes not of the crop factor. nice.

It did not prompt out the recommendation on screen. But instead send the recommendation directly into my mind... And I heard it... It keep saying must buy 35L for different composition of potrait....

cheh like that.

anyway for me it's pretty much pointless since all my lens serve a purpose. this software end up being my FOR FUN thing.

does d program 'tell' u to change d body as well??

What do you expect?


Yes... It keep recommending a 1D mark III. The crop factor of 1.3x is just nice for both 35L and 85L

The applicaiton keep telling me what to buy.... some time I felt it is irritating... It non-stop recommending me...

TheVOIP using 101 reasons to convince himself to buy dream-gears.

so now you guys have the chart to back you when you submit your purchase request to minister of finance hor?

Do I need to convert the values or something?

Using kit lens 18-55mm, but the range here says 27-80mm

I seem to use a lot of both ends of the spectrum... 27mm & 80mm. My graph is shaped like a U.

It's a useful proggie tho... thanks a lot for linking it!

that's cos you use 35mm equivalent. so it will multiply with the crop factor.

use Real Length option and it will show based on the EXIF.

dude, u so pani laaa....
