i would say the samyang is better because of it's a fully manual lens, making changing aperture easier and maybe smoother MF ring too. I am not a fan of sigma's MF ring, doesn't feel natural and a little too tight for my liking.

i thought we answered this when you asked last time?

totally agree, it seems like he asks a lot theories but never practice or experiment with those info.

post pictures and ask for feedbacks would be better imo.

canon should take care of their DR first then move on to megapixel.

once you try out other system (esp sony sensors), you can see how lacking canon is in shadow recovery.

rm120 is quite affordable imo, easily worth it if you are using it for paid jobs.

i agree with goldfries's suggestions, those who wish to rent should sign some documents before renting and maybe join membership to protect both you and customers

based on what?

well yong nuo isn't that bad. it might lose to the canon in terms of ttl accuracy but everything else should work as perfectly as the canon is.

well did you compare them before?

awesome rocket bunny s13

Which 135mm lens? The f2L?

The printer should be foc right? Since canon is doing promotion.

beautiful shot! the tones are fantastic and same to the composition. looks a little bit blurred though?

thats a very good combo to start with, feel free to ask

i also kena before with my older tammy 70-200 on my 550D. it looks like the aperture blade is stuck or something on my unit. remounted the lens for a few times then only it woks normally again.

meanwhile most of us are still living with 10+ mega pixel cameras

still, if the dynamic range is as bad as current canon cameras, then i don't see too many people getting it.

Hmm I agree and disagree on this one.

The bending from pulling up the shadows on the canon sensors is still unbearable to me. They are even visible in web viewing resolution.

Anyways I feel a little excited on the eos m3 though, might be a not bad camera if they make the autofocus faster and evf buukd in.

well it's there. you can ignore it when you don't need it, but lets say one day you forgot to change your exposure before taking a shot and it turns out to be under exposed for 2 or 3 stops. you try to recover it but end up with a lot of noise that's very obvious. It happened to me before when I was shooting a bird.

You can say people is spoiled with too much of dynamic range. The same logic applies to newer cameras with fancy features compared to old dinosaur like 30d or 40d, you can still get awesome results with these older cameras but then the space for improvement is always there.

even my little em10 sensor has better dynamic range and noise handling than my eos M which doesn't make sense. Canon cameras aren't that cheap to start with so there's no excuse for them not to create a proper sensor that fits with current technology.

let's say, you have the same composition, same angle, same aperture, same exposure and bla bla bla. but then you are limited to 1 shot and you are shooting landscape with a very bright sky and dark foreground. you have one canon dslr and another one with sony sensor both shooting raw. the one from the sony sensor is going to have better potential than the one from canon for sure after properly edited.

i know, but then not everyone is the kind of person who never did mistakes on under or over exposing a shot. more so if the shot means a lot then of course he or she will try the best to recover and obtain the optimum result. the problem with canon's shadow noise is that it's very hard to remove because of the horizontal pattern.

take this image as example

it was one of my best bird shot ever but then i saw that bird when i was walking around my house. i ran into my room and grabbed the camera to take this photo but didn't have time to change the settings because I was in a rush and ended up with 2 - 3 stops of underexposed picture. had to apply a lot of noise reduction and selective blur to clean out the color noise.

you don't need it but that doesn't mean others don't, furthermore when it's under the industry standard already when everyone else can do better.

thanks

but then i actually still like canon cameras a lot, they aren't bad by any means especially given how good they can perform in wildlife/ sports.

canon cameras are quite perfect actually if given a proper sensor, you have cheap yet awesome lenses, awesome autofocus, awesome ergonomics and awesome support. imagine a 5D III with a a7 sensor, that would be really good.

at the end of the day, it's still user preference

for what?

Long time since I post anything other than gear talk because I just started my first year of Uni and 3 weeks without camera. Finally got my M with me yesterday so here's one photo to show

So Canon is following Nikon's step by making the 5D a megapixel monster then 1D for sports and lowlight? i am more curious about how the 6D II will be like (probably not so soon though)
