so what do you guys think about the 35L? thinking to get it for low light usage.
also wanted to calibrate my 24-70 with the body cause micro adjustment just manage to get some focal length sharp.

Oops, sorry goldie... I get too excited then straight away go to the last page..
Btw
Guys, got any nice place to shoot some picture?

35L on crop not nice oredi. The special thing about 35L is the wide look with big aperture. What u need is 24L if u want the wide look.

dont need wide prime yet cause got tokky 116, i need a lens to bring out at night for snap shot. maybe 24mm is too wide for snap shot or so...

Ur missing the point. Ppl like the 35L is coz it's wide. But on ur crop body it's not wide anymore. Put on crop oredi is 56mm. The specialty of having 35L is lost then. The 24L will have that 35 look on ur cropper.

You better book them for a week if you are going to bring your entire arsenal there...hahahahaaha

One more thing, the zoom feeling on the Tamron VC version is too stiff compared to the really orgasmic zoom feeling on the non-VC version. One more reason that I chose the non-VC version after considering budget.

well, 50mm+ is good for standard focal length, am i right? if buy 50L on crop then not standard anymore.

1. It's wider (by 1mm).
2. Longer range.
3. USM.

But no 2.8 la, that's the only drawback. But heck, I can live with 3.5-4.5.

Ehhhhhh ya hor. Silly me.

Seems a waste lor. Buying a 35L n then getting the standard lens look that so many other ppl have. No more special look. Hehe. With a 24L, at least u still get that special look that will make ppl go WOW! Still Wide n still got bokeh. Anyway, since ur spending big money, go try it at the shop la. Surely they wont say no testing for a rm6k decision.

go jalan jalan KL streets

yes tried the 35L in the shop and love the color and bokeh, maybe 24L is better on FF cause is wide. but FF not my future so maybe just stick with 35L at the moment. well, maybe u r right about everyone get the 35mm look but sure not many can get the nice 1.4 bokeh...hahah......just kidding, dont stab me

Actually i like taking camera around to shoot some small objects or more easy to say is simply but perfect shooting...do i really have to get a macro lens? or normal lens will do for beginner?

just invest on macro lens, tammy 90 is not too bad for beginner but got the bucks get canon, depend what you shoot most and decide yr focal length. the canon 100mm macro is a good choice for most macro shot but for sensitive bugs or so, get longer focal length.

the tammy 90 and canon 100mm around how much price range?

yes, let's gather and shoot the gears that we got....

Plenty of ppl got that look on crop for cheap by using Sigma 30mm f1.4. That's y I say get the 24L coz there's no cheap alternative to a 24mm f1.4 lens. Anyway, if uve tried n like the 35L by all means get it. As I always say, BUY BUY BUY!

opss.....you got me there...make me wondering now.....hahaha
maybe i'd also go and try out the 24L

try raynox 250 filter or those cheap hoya +4 diopter filter to get some macro "kick/feel"
Jumping on the macro wagon and spending huge amount of $$ on lens without knowing anything is deadly

Lens such as EF 50mm f/1.8 cannot be calibrated because it does not contain the electronics to accommodate calibration data. When I sent in my lens, none of the lens are calibrated, only my camera. Lens are only calibrated when they out of specification, which hardly occur.
