I think it's first solid review of that lens in the Internet. Thanks Dustin, I absolutely love wide scenes with great color, depth, and sharpness, and this lens delivers.

It's a keeper for sure.įor correcting 95% of all the distortion/vignetting, this is by far the best profile I've found online (works for all full frame cameras): Īlso, In case people didn't know, Samyang struck a deal with Cokin, who are now producing filters for this lens! See here: Some history: I have a 17-40 myself and find the corners very soft so I picked up this guy for $275 Buydig and find it incredibly sharp corner-to-corner. Not only have you convinced me to buy the 6D which is my primary camera now, but I now have this. I have read tons of reviews on numerous lenses and this is easily one of the best and most accurate I've read. Try that on a 1Dx or 5D MkIII without the stupidly expensive WFT-E7 transmitter.ĭustin, first off, amazing pictures! You are a big inspiration for me in shooting landscapes! Second, many thanks for this very thorough and honest review. I’ve even had news reporters begging me to send images to them virtually as they happened. My clients on those occasions were blown away by the ability to beat the competition. I for one have actually used the wi-fi facility to get images into publication direct from an event on numerous occasions. I personally feel that much of the criticism was unfairly levelled at what is turning out to be a superb camera with features that are actually quite useful. The 6D got panned pre-launch because of it’s apparently crippled specification.
He is already before properly testing it very impressed and close to buying one. He is currently borrowing my 6D to test it out at an event tomorrow, including using wi-fi to get the images back to the print station as he shoots. He now thinks he might have had a potentially faulty one as he has used mine and feels it is far superior to his one. Even though the 6D is slightly smaller and slightly lighter, sometimes I have to turn them over to see which one I’m holding!Ī colleague of mine bought a 5D MkIII and hated it after the MkII, which I thought a little strange. Having run both cameras side-by-side and sometimes simultaneously, I can honestly say that sometimes I don’t realise which one I’m using they are that well matched. I, like you will only buy gear that pays for itself and boy have these two pieces of kit had to work hard and bring me a return on investment. I did however, hanker after a 5D MkIII and in June this year, I bought one.
The 6D has proved itself to be an excellent events work-horse. Last December I took the plunge and bought a 6D on two criteria built-in wi-fi and cost. I started with a 40D, followed by a second-hand 5D MkI with additional wi-fi transmitter when I started shooting events. I have read your article with great interest and concur on almost everything you say. (PS: I read somewhere that both 5DIII and 6D have audio jacks) Any insight you can provide will be much appreciated! I’m sort of rambling now, so I’m sorry if I’m not making much sense. I even feel a bit guilty getting a full frame, period, but I think I will feel more confident if I know a full frame is truly worth the investment after the add-on lens are considered. Yes, 5DIII seems to be the ultimate choice for prosumer videography, but I almost feel guilty getting it as my entry camera.
PROLEVEL RC TWEEK BOARD UPGRADE
For example, if I get a crop sensor like 60D or 7D (because of the flexibility of lens for long shots), would at least some lens be transferable if I choose to upgrade to/add a full frame body? I’m more concerned about future needs, like lens options and compatibility. So, please help me if you can: I’m wondering if there is any more info you could add based on your experience with video on your cameras. That is until you didn’t have much to say in terms of video-related benefits.īackground: this would be my first DSLR and I’m primarily interested in shooting video…and luckily I can afford a “premium” camera. Most reviews I’ve looked at so far lean towards the 6D because its benefits/cost factor when compared to the 5DIII… And now, your article almost sealed the deal for me on the 6D. I’m really confused between the 5DIII and 6D… especially with the option of getting a crop sensor body (which supposedly can have its benefits in terms of lens choices).
