My pics and photo gear
You are here: Home Page ► Photo
I like to take tons of pictures (most of which never make it to the Web, of course).
After my first Canon EOS 1000 SLR, and half a dozen years with a Sony S-70 compact digital camera, I have been using a Canon EOS 50D and a Canon EOS 350D, along with some lenses.
Lens name | Comments |
---|---|
Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM ∅67 | Good and balanced lens. The IS works great. |
Canon EF 200mm f/2.8L II USM ∅72 | Fast and sharp lens, better-than-life pictures. |
Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM ∅58 | A slight improvement over the 50 f/1.8, especially thanks to its better autofocus. |
Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II ∅52 | Optically flawless (aside from bokeh), a great value lens. |
Sigma 18-50mm f/3.5-5.6 DC ∅58 | Not a bad lens for the weight (and price!) |
Sigma 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 DG ∅62 | All-in-one lens with its advantages and optical downsides. I don't use it any more. |
Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM ∅77 | Fun to use, and with not so much CA. |
Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 Di II ∅67 | Sharp and colorful, useful range, macro abilities. A good all-around lens. |
Tamron 90mm f/2.8 Macro ∅55 | Not bad, can do great shots in some circumstances, but not always easy to handle. |
