As an exchange of courtesies for my review S5 Pro and help in creating a review Nikon DF, this Canon Zoom Lens EF 11-24mm 1: 4 L USM Ultrasonic review, especially for our beloved Radozhivka, was prepared by Andrey Kondratenko, one of the project editors Photo dzen... Spelling and punctuation are preserved from the author, and were not ruled by the forces of Radozhiva.
Canon EF 11-24mm F / 4L USM
The spirit of struggle is always present in everything - and not only in sporting events. And the ancient slogan “Citius, Altius, Fortius” in relation to the photo, you can try to rephrase as - wider, brighter, sharper (in relation to the lenses, at least).
So Canon, it seems, got involved in a "fight for the leader" with its main competitor in the face of Nikon, as they say - on all fronts. The recently introduced new 50-megapixel EOS 5DS and 5DS-R allowed Canon to outperform 36-megapixel Nikon D800, D800E, D810a and D810.
Well, now, the new Canon EF 11-24mm F / 4L USM zoom lens has pulled out ahead in coverage angle and focal length, as the "main competitor" has the widest-angle lens to date - this is a rather old Nikon ED AF-S Nikkor 14-24mm 1: 2.8G VR N Nano Crystal Coat SWM IF Aspherical with “only” 14mm focal length at its widest position. We are talking about full-frame diagonal zoom lenses - not fixed and not fishey.
Canon EF 11-24mm F / 4L USM
The Canon EF 11-24mm F / 4L USM is the widest classic full-frame lens, with 126-degree diagonal coverage. To achieve such outstanding results, the manufacturer equipped the lens with a giant 108mm spherical front lens. Naturally, the only protection for the front glass is the “built-in” hood. There is simply nowhere to wind the filter. Unless you install attachments or use small internal filters for which special slots are provided on the back of the lens.
Canon EF 11-24mm F / 4L USM
Using the lens, I often found myself thinking that the front element was a bit scary, and I tried to hold the lens more often with the cap on it.

Canon EF 11-24mm F / 4L USM
Looking at the characteristics that appeared after the announcement of the lens back in February 2015, it was clear that it was not small at all. However, “not small” in this case is said very softly. The lens is very large, heavy, and because of the huge spherical lens - it seems just huge. With amateur equipment, such as Canon 750D, using it is very inconvenient, imbalance is too strong - the center of mass is somewhere on the wide end of the lens, which is why it is necessary to hold the camera + lens beyond the edge of the lens.
Canon EF 11-24mm F / 4L USM
Anyway, with “cropped” cameras, such a lens loses all meaning, because its key advantage disappears - an ultra-wide angle.
Canon EF 11-24mm F / 4L USM
11-24, like all top-end equipment, is made in Japan. The assembly is impeccable, the lens is very "knocked down" and monolithic, with a fairly smooth (or rather, even moderately tight) zoom stroke. Focus - not internal. The lens, while zooming, does not change its physical dimensions, but the back and front groups of lenses “travel”, so theoretically, dust inside the structure can leak out over time, despite the fact that it is an L-lens with dust and moisture protection.
Canon EF 11-24mm F / 4L USM
The zoom and focus rings are rubberized, wide enough and spaced apart a large distance from each other - so that “focusing accidentally” fails. Since the lens uses a modern ring focusing motor, you can not switch to MF mode, and if necessary simply “to focus»During the shooting. Both rings have very short stroke - which is typical for an ultra-wide angle lens.
Canon EF 11-24mm F / 4L USM
On the body there is a focus switching slider (MF / AF) and a focus scale window. Moreover - only 3 basic values are applied - 11, 16 and 24 mm. As with all Canon wide-angle lenses, there is no optical stabilization.
11-24 is a completely unique lens. No matter how fantastic it may sound, it is super-sharp across the entire plane of the frame and at all aperture values. Not in vain, only having managed to appear, she immediately received 2 prestigious awards - both TIPA 2015 and EISA 2015.
Naturally, given the viewing angles - there are spherical distortions. But:
- firstly, as for such an angle, they are very, very “modest” and visible only at 11 mm, at 24 mm straight lines remain straight even at the edges of the frame.
- secondly, there is already a lens profile for Adobe Camera RAW, so that you can correct the distortion at the pre-processing stage.
Canon EF 11-24mm F / 4L USM
Aperture 11-24 is not the most outstanding, "only" F / 4.0. But, looking at the sizes, I can’t even imagine what a lens with the same optical and technical characteristics (sharpness, minimal distortion) and aperture - F / 2,8 can be. Apparently, Canon also reasoned and decided not to shock us with monstrous sizes (and at the same monstrous price). Let me remind you that the recommended price of this device is $ 3000, which is very, very large.
But this is not a reportable lens, where shooting in low light conditions and with hands is often important. Its use is landscape, architectural and interior photography, that is, the ability to mount the camera on a tripod and thoughtfully take pictures. The lack of built-in stabilization, as if additionally hinting at it.
Canon EF 11-24mm F / 4L USM
Given this wide angle, I expected to see some pretty noticeable vignetting in the corners, at the widest aperture. But even then a surprise awaited. Yes, at F / 4 at 11 mm there is darkening in the corners of the frame. But, open the aperture to F / 5,6, and here it is minimal, and again - easily fixable using the profile in Camera Raw. This is clearly seen in the test shots. In addition, the lens actually does not catch parasitic "bunnies". In any case - I have not been caught).
Another misfortune of "super-wide" - chromatic aberration. They are minimal, and to get them (and demonstrate) - you had to try pretty hard. Below is a frame where they can be clearly seen along the edges of rose leaves (thin purple stripes). But the picture was taken on a sunny day, against the sun and on the most closed aperture. And in the same picture you can see a drop in detail on the most closed aperture in the widest angle of the lens.
Shot on a Canon EF 11-24mm F / 4L USM
Original RAW ('.CR2') photos can be download from this link.
It was not for nothing that I mentioned the brand new Canon 5DS and 5DS-R at the beginning of the article. A lens with such outstanding optical characteristics can fully reveal the 50-megapixel matrix of new cameras. I am sure that professional landscape photographers are already “rubbing their hands”, looking at such a “tandem”.
True, one should not forget that shooting landscapes and architecture often involves long journeys in search of “that same place and perspective” with photographic equipment in hand (or a wardrobe trunk). So, and the weight of the lens in kilograms and 200 grams, this is already not small, and if you add here the weight of a full-frame camera and a tripod, your shoulders and neck will quickly "make themselves felt."
Below is a photo for comparing the dimensions of two structurally similar lenses. Lumix 7-14mm F / 4 and EF 11-24mm Canon F / 4L USM. The Lumix 7-14 is a lens that I always take with me when I travel, as it is light, small, and yet the widest for an equally light and small MFT mirrorless system. Yes, Lumix 7-14, taking into account the "crop" 2x, will give a focal length of 14-28 mm, which is certainly not 11-24, and optically it is somewhat simpler. But three times less weight and dimensions for long hikes with a camera around the neck are for me personally a more weighty argument (I did not mention the price - but it is also three times lower). IMHO.
Canon EF 11-24mm F / 4L USM
Canon EF 11-24mm F / 4L USM
Conclusions:
The Canon EF 11-24mm F / 4L USM is by far the best ultra-wide angle lens on the market without exception. It is simultaneously the widest, sharpest and fastest lens with simply unique optical qualities. Until recently, it seemed that 11 millimeters in a full frame, and even not in a fisheye design, was fantastic, but Canon was able to really surprise. I don’t remember for a long time that the lens caused me such enthusiastic feelings.
Of course, all this “splendor” weighs a lot, but is very expensive, but until none of the competitors presents anything like this, the price will not go down, and I’m sure that there will be plenty of people who want to buy it.
Perspective is hard. Fish practically. It is better not to look at such photos from a hangover - the head is spinning and pulls to puke.
Guys, the review is good in content but really ugly in language. Pearls like “... and because of the huge spherical lens - it seems just huge” (the oil turned out to be very oily) are first delivered, and then they just start to annoy))). The text put on public display must be read - this is an elementary respect for the reader. Hopefully everything will come with time. Good luck!
Here is a good overview of this lens: http://prophotos.ru/reviews/16723-test-sverhshirokougolnogo-ob-ektiva-canon-ef-11-24mm-f-4l-usm
Arkady, hello!
is it possible to review the operation of the boost adapter using the example of one of the cameras? cons, pros, nuances
The review reads 'giant 108mm front lens', and the outer diameter of the lens is also indicated as 108mm.
Something clearly does not converge: either the lens is smaller, or the body is larger ...
At these sizes, 5mm won't play a role here. The lens is certainly unique for today. But the sharpness for this instance is weak.
Dedicated to Anonomas and Alexandrams.
Nikon or Kenon? before you FF images from two FF cameras.
Estimate the difference in DD (yes, these are not parrots in DRL!).
rate the color, skin tone.
default development with RAVs by original developers.
or as
The review of the top lens went into the analysis of grammatical errors and confrontation kenonnikon. Okay, I’ll try the second photo where the girl is against the wall. Right kenon left nikon. But in any case, it's all 50 to 50
well, any topic about kenon causes salivation in fanatics of other brands)
especially for Nikonists who own cheap crop.
and for some reason this is a grief theorists who themselves did not work with the same kenon and everyone knows and judges from DRL and other reviews of the same theorists)))
the pictures above are Kenon 5DM3 on the left, D750 on the right.
Nikon is easy to recognize by carrot skinton.
in addition to skinton, there is a funny difference in BB and exposure, which is aligned in the editor for 30 seconds. there is simply no difference in DD.
and yes, if you open RAV Nikon in several different editors, the color will really change.
I personally now use Mark 3 now simply because Nikon does not have a universal FF camera.
Although the bottom white balance is more correct on the right. Snow is whiter. That is, regardless of BB, does the red blush manifest itself?
a blue comes out from the bottom right. a common problem on all Sonev matrices.
By the way, when changing the demos, it can be removed without problems, apparently it is given by Nikon's software strapping.
the left is almost perfect.
here is snow on 5DM3
https://fotki.yandex.ru/next/users/vmirefoto-blogspot/album/349956/view/1728096?page=5
You want to say that on the left is the normal (correct) skin color in frosty air? Usually, with such a clinic, vomiting begins, I think so. On the right is a cheerful complexion, well, maybe the girl took 50 grams from frost. ))))
I don’t understand - who do you want to bother your head by offering to evaluate DD by an overexposed portrait? DD is easy to estimate on a landscape with exposure compensation for light areas when exposure compensation goes deep into minus. Then in the converter we draw shadows and clamp the lights and see what real DD the camera can give out. For Nikon, the correction easily goes up to + 4EV, for Canon, shadows, in the vast majority of cases, are almost impossible to stretch - banding begins in the shadows. That's all DD ...
slightly focal / distance is different but not critical.
for simplicity - cut out pieces from the photo on the right and add them to the photo on the left
more questions? )))
Do not be afraid to work with live equipment, it is much better than continuing to anonymize on DRL! ))))
or like that, intentionally an ardent nikonist))
see the difference in almost 3EV ??? )))))))))
there is a difference when pulling shadows with an under-exposure of 5EB (!!!).
really what m ..k (meaning, man) will shoot at -5EV?
in general, if you need to shoot at -5EV, then nikon steers! )))
Sonevskie matrices are optimized for pulling shadows, there is redundant data for this. to the detriment of color. Nikon has nothing to do with it, this is the specificity of Sony matrices and is true for all cameras of all brands where there are Sony sensors.
D800 and D810 themselves use color signal compression. with all the consequences of compression and decompression. )
Oh, Alexei, and customize the Ravas of the double penny and d750! Give garbage repent)))) I want to turn myself.
with people only, and it’s not interesting to compare Christmas trees
with the girl above the RAVs are posted on the photo. Look in the profile topic about the third nickle, it was recently.
give a link - does not look for the picture
Yes, let's RAVy! And how I do not try - I can not get a carrot skin on my Nikon! Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
Skinton ...
that is, it is assumed that all skin is the same color? what kind of dregs .. The formula Margulis may have come up with, but firstly, it's in CMYK, and secondly it's all very roughly. So I'll see how you will do it in the lightroom. Native converters are not fun - they are not convenient for streaming work, if you can afford to sit over the frame even for 15 minutes, then I am not. The conclusion is simple - the camera that initially has everything prettier and has the “best skin tone”. And the fact that Photoshop rules everything is known to everyone, not everyone knows that time is money
100%.
do not torture anyone.
you do not need other people's RAVA.
Take YOURSELF paired photos. SAMI. so as not to blame anyone later.
lay out. this will be the best proof that you have no problems with the skinton.
take paired photos of kenon / nikon. lay out. we will see ))))
Do you think that they sold you by mistake the Shanghai leopard? ))))
still holivar on this subject.

Comparison Nikon D4s, D750 ... Canon 5D3
"" This review prepared a small camera comparison for you: Nikon D4s vs D750 vs D610 vs D700 vs Canon 5D Mark 3. "
"And again the cripples came together in a fierce swing with crutches and prostheses!" (from)
Lynx does not seem to you that sometimes it brings you. With all due respect for the work you are doing
Anything can happen.
But what is happening in this thread is hard for me to describe differently.
Take care of the nerves Lynx
mimimi .. I'm trying! )))
You know, I’ll still intercede for Lynx, and here’s why: for the hundredth time, you have set up a skin doctor (completely stupid and pointless), and post examples that you’ll forgive, but you can’t call you cripples. Maybe I'm making too stringent requirements for myself, but what you give in the examples doesn’t even need to be stored on a computer, and even it’s a shame to show the removed one. If you give an example on a reputable photo blog, and even in an instructive tone, so at least try not to look like shkolota.
are you me )))
did you even see who started srach? actually they were Anonymous with the Trot.
examples of paired photos are already available in several versions. Download Ravs,
watch any or make your own.
neither Lynx nor Alexander nor Anonymous at all base their nonsense.
One, in principle, does not understand what DRL measures, the other does not understand or does not know the line of lenses on which more than strange conclusions are made.
the question is not Nikon or Kenon. you like nikon - this doesn’t mean at all that you need to pour mud on kenon and its owners all the more so when the attacks are ridiculous and when the person did not hold the kenon at all and does not understand what he is saying.
the photos above are more than sufficient for estimating DD and Skinton. you need tables - below there is a color checker. whoever needs to - will see. who wants to organize srach-organizes.
you need super artistic paired photos - take and make, "at least try not to look like a schoolboy."
and yes, no matter how Lynx puffed up with other nikon trolls, the nikon has neither an analog of 5DM3 nor a lens with a width of 11-24. ))))
lynx lynx .. this lynx here posts dozens of "type of paired photos", posts "but the d600 has oil on the shutter", and runs all over the thread proving that "nikon-canon - no difference, but canon is cooler !!!". ))
bad trot. fanatic and kindle.

... and Nikon's cameras are better!
and other nonsense with screenshots from DRL))))
Once again, Lynx is trying to troll lousy ..))))
That stop already feeding him))) Is it all so incomprehensible? Let yourself hysterical there)
These are not my examples. Bright. And I didn't teach anyone. Above, I honestly did not guess where which camera is, which means I do not see the subtleties. I am against such things: "they generally kick the kenonists at the Nikon Club" "Shield - that's how it should be!" By the way, the person laid out examples and what he wanted to convey, he fully showed. Do not be offended by a bunny solely as a humor
in many cases, pictures from Nikon-Kenon cannot be distinguished.
As I have said many times, the only reason I personally shoot with the Mark 3 is the lack of a universal camera in the ZK FF lineup. it simply does not exist. the second reason is that there are no good inexpensive telefixes. type 100/2 or 135/2. simply no.
color is subjective. many people do not see the difference, is there any point in proving them? is there a difference in skin tone? Yes there is. it's just a fact. who likes what )))
Do not be discouraged Oleg :) Whoever uploaded the examples is in the know. Do not care for the bunny, albeit cute.
He doesn’t upload these pictures for the photo contest, but for comparing the cameras. There is no obvious marriage there, which means they are suitable for this task.
My opinion is to do it yourself and draw your own conclusions. I did not upload my paired photos. It was interesting to watch how the great specialists Lynx, Anonymous and others will appreciate the pair from real photographers))) with photo ru. strangely enough, there are a lot of good specialists and just these photos are suitable for them to evaluate. )))
Of course there is no marriage. You can evaluate color and DD without any problems. )))
note that the trolls did not post any paired photos))) in general. troll and breed srach easier)))
And where does the contest? If a person gets involved in a dispute, it would not be bad for him to be, if not a professional in this matter, then at least be well aware of the subject of the dispute. The demonstration of such examples just indicates a lack of understanding of the essence of the issue.
Understand, this is not an insult or humiliation, a couple of days ago, a friend of my son was given the first DSLR d5300, he snapped off a couple of hundred frames and brought me to watch. I am not a great specialist in photographing people (insects are closer to me), but here is his photo and, as they say, find ten differences.
And I do not mean all kinds of skintons, etc., look at the composition, frame construction, shooting angle, background, wires sticking out of the heads, ropes, etc. These are pictures of the same level and it doesn’t matter which camera they are shot.
What can I say about a person who sees the “nuances” of skin tones, but does not notice everything else, and even pathetically dedicates THIS to us?
oh yes, and thanks for the carrot! http://www.hitforum.net.ua/showthread.php?t=13337
just looking
Sometimes it does not, or regularly. Or maybe it skidded without the possibility of a return?
And I already asked Arkady about the possibility of expanding the themes of the site, where this kind of disputes, problems, etc. would be resolved, but not with empty words, but with a benevolent analysis of examples of the author's photographs exhibited (in RAW, after processing, indicating it) / So it would become clear where what kind of fish and how much. And we would learn from each other something and somehow ...
so will anyone give a pair of ditches? threw a lot of pictures, but there are no equal
who will shoot the office like that. )))
"Zoom-fish" from Canon for mind-blowing money.))
And how this toy will be more expensive here http://stelmakh.com/canon-predstavila-kameru-s-iso-4-000-000-2/
or this one http://stelmakh.com/canon-razrabotala-250-megapiksel-nuyu-matritsu/
Yes, Lynx, the troll is still that ...
Like something bad!
Skintons are certainly interesting, but I will allow myself to reflect on the lens a bit: the lens is certainly cool. Before him, no one had offered such an angle in a full frame; the widest do not fit from A-brands was 14mm (Canon, Nikon), from B-brands 12mm (Sigma). But I see in this product a demonstration of Canon's capabilities rather than a working tool. Let's speculate, what is this lens for? I hope no one will argue that the portrait, subject and macro are not his element. For reporting shirik with a diaphragm of 2,8 will be preferable. Architecture often requires a tilt-encryption lens. But for the interior it is very, except in cases with high ceilings where tilt-shift is again preferable. Probably it will show itself well in astrophotography, given the small number of aberrations in the open, it is a pity that it is dark. But where it should be incomparable, is in landscape photography. But there is a caveat! It's no secret that landscape filters are actively using filters: gradient, neutral gray, polarizing. The use of round light filters on lenses with a convex front lens is not possible. Rack rectangular filters and fastening systems come to the rescue. The attachment system consists of a ring that attaches to the lens, dressing on the bayonet side, and a filter holder that attaches to the ring. If we look at Lee's products, we will see that it offers a 100mm system for the Canon 17mm TS-E and a 150mm system for these lenses:
Nikon AF-S Nikkor 14-24mm f / 2.8G ED
Nikon 14mm f2.8D AF ED
Canon EF 14mm f2.8L II USM
Canon EF 11-24mm f4L USM
Samyang 14mm f / 2.8 ED AS IF UMC
Sigma 12-24mm f4.5-5.6 DG HSM II
Tokina AT-X 16-28mm f / 2.8 PRO FX.
And if we ignore the fact that the mount system with a filter set from Lee will cost the cost of another top-end lens (it's better not to watch Singh-Ray products at all), we seem to have solved the problem. But everything is not so simple;) If you carefully study the information, we will see that due to the physical size of the lens and the extremely wide angle of view, the system cannot cover the entire range of phased array !!! From 12,5mm to 24mm when using a single filter holder, and from 13,5mm to 24mm when using a dual filter holder. Those. we cannot use light filters on the most “delicious” FR of this lens. I think comments on this fact are unnecessary.
What's the bottom line? $ 3, 000, f1180 and extremely difficult use of light filters. The lens is very cool, but what a crap it is!
P.S. Dmitry Shatrov, an awesome landscape photographer, bought 14-24 because of the convex front lens 16-35, travels both, 80% of wide-angle shots takes 16-35, and 14-24 uses more for night shots.
P.P.S. It is interesting to know the opinion of Sergey Lux, a man filming on 16-35 / 4 IS and 17 TS-E, his panoramas of St. Petersburg are amazing.
In my opinion, for reporting, he also suits himself quite well. It is not always the same to report in the dark, it is for reporting from daytime rallies and all other similar actions. And given the possibility of modern ff working at high ISO, 4 - it's not so dark anymore - will be enough for twilight.
As for the interior, such a lens simply elegantly suits realtors. To rent a small living room, as if it were a hall of an ancient castle, to show the boundless expanses of the local area 10 * 10 meters :) In general, it’s quite a tool for attracting customers.
And it's also a great lens for selfies - everything will fit into the frame)))
Well, and a number of Canon's clients who buy everything not for work, but simply for themselves, for the sake of interest. If the family has enough money, then spending 3 thousand on an interesting lens is not a problem. If you even look at the reviews on the photo ru, you will notice that top-end carcasses and glasses are often bought by amateurs and examples of their frames confirm this fact - most of the frames could be removed with a saving of 10-15 times, but such people do not bother about it :) So they will be interested in the widest Canon zoom.
God forbid you to see what happens at the edge of the 11mm frame when shooting a rally. Solid hydrocyphalts ... ... I introduced you with a selfie stick and Mark with this miracle at the end and smiled.
Naturally, on the filming of rallies, the only focal 11mm cannot be. But it is quite possible for them to shoot a number of frames, not for a realistic and artistic depiction of people's faces at the edges of the frame, but to cover the crowd and convey the scale of the event to the one looking at the photo. With the proper skill, you can even make the people in the center, if the viewers are afraid of perspective distortions and hydrocephalus :) And a selfie stick with this lens is not necessary, that's the point. For the sake of interest, I tried selfies at 12mm on a full frame - 10 people standing next to me fit in :) Yes, even 10mm on the crop is enough for selfie lovers not to take a selfie stick with them. By the way, imagine a 150-600 sigma worn on 1dx on a selfie stick - it's even funnier;)
Finally, an intelligible post. Respeks to you that were not too lazy to write so much text.
Nikon and Canon cameras handle colors differently. But when developing, getting the desired color (including faces) on a camera of any brand is not a problem!
Therefore, the “correct Canon skin tone” is just a tale of people who are not friends with development from RAW.
And here's how the cameras “look” differently:
(RAW photo taken from photo-monster.ru)
Classics of the genre: Nikon Sinit, Canon yellow))
In my opinion, Nikon's color rendition is more natural, but the taste and color of a friend is not ...
Nikon - WHAT IS BLUE
back to the topic topic. Kenon has no problems with the list of new lenses.
16-35 / 4, 11-24 / 4, 50 1.8STM, etc.
in addition to problems with carcasses D600, D800, D750, Nikon 1, Nikon, got a new puncture
Nikkor 300mm f / 4E VR - review from all stores.
and Nikkor 200-500mm f / 5.6E VR - another recol, problems with AF.
here is the cry of the soul of another Nikonist:
Yet another failure on Nikon's behalf to deliver a working, issue-free product. And the worst part is, if you don't follow the news or occasionally check the manufacturer's website, how would you even know about these service advisories?
It seems like delivering a badly tested product is becoming Nikon's custom now.
So there is no difference what to photograph - paired shots do not differ, halftones are unnoticed !!!!!!! 111
there is a difference in photographing on working equipment or defective !!! )))
Believe me, a serviceable one is much more convenient!
come on! With persistence worthy of a better undertaking, you constantly prove the opposite by giving examples.
and on the topic of nikon 14-24 / 2.8 (price about 1800doll)
October 6, 2015 at 1: 20 pm
I had a serious issue with my Nikon 14-24mm 2.8G. It took me a lot of test shots to proof to the local Nikon dealer that the lens simply focused incorrectly.
====================
and so on, complaints since 2008 (well-known nikon 14-24 focus issue)
If you google, Nikon's 14-24 has two problems - AF and the zoom ring.
Both are design challenges.
I hope the subject will not have this.
Well, Lesha’s hammer, he did such a job of opening his eyes to the nikonists, now they don’t wash off, he smashed to smithereens, you even feel better.
I was not bored :))))
the most interesting thing is that most of the Nikonists here have never been removed for kenon and moreover they will not be removed for a subject :))))
and on nikon 14-24 they did not shoot. so, theorists anonymous DxO))))
PS
I personally wonder, will Nikon ever release a replacement D700? and how many years (decades) does he need to develop a NEW AF module? )))
Well, they shot lynxes for all of the above (and not only for him).
then what? )))
Lynx, if it's not a secret, what are you shooting at this stage (I’m not asking for imitation)?
nowadays - mostly weaving from 35 mm, 135 mm, 105 mm, 35-105 and 70-300.
and what other photos?
In terms of the camera.
on the canons of FF, on the canons of the crop, on the Nikons of the FF, on the Nikons of the crop, on the Fujiks mirrorless. Here Sonya mirrorless as it all pass by hands.
oh, yes, even on the fed, Kiev 19, and change-2 (1956 release) - generally a favorite film-maker now.
AHA ...
Leshka - aka nik79 with a photo - is a small ugly troll, a well-known jerk for pixels, who does not disdain to spoil a competitive company even in topics that do not affect it in any way.
Question to Lynx, not a lot off topic. Lynx, you once said here that in Samara, near Leningradskaya Street, there is an interesting photo store. Do not tell me what kind of photo store is and its address? Thanks for the answer!
oh, I don’t remember exactly the address (the last time I was in Samara almost a year ago), but go along Leningrad until the intersection with Molodogvardeiskaya and turn right (towards Tolstoy Street). about half a block away, on the left side there is a photographic store with a large showcase. "Samara onion" or something, I don't remember.
OK thanks!
Well, come on, press "canon and nikon rescuers"!
all-nothing is left to hold on to the "two-hundredget of meaninglessness".
Abstracting from the selfless throwing of all higher.
Of course, I take off my hat, the lens is just unique. There is nothing to add.
I do not want to dwell on the need for such super-widths - whoever understands a lot about them does not need convictions.
Who does not understand, they will still continue to ask questions about the causal relationships of the goat and the button accordion.
It is extremely difficult to shoot at wide, and super-difficult at ultra-wide. I have already said that they are not made at all so that you can cram more different things into the frame. They are needed to create a feeling of overwhelming grandeur of all-embracing beauty, monumentality, severity, intimacy, etc. That would snatch from the viewer “Wah, mother serdtse!”, Or something like that. What would immediately grab you, rip you off your place and carry you there, into the world of images. Therefore, photographs with them are very interesting and exciting.
I really can’t shoot wide enough, but I brutally wish to learn.
By the way, here Tokin 16-28, it seems to me in sharpness is quite comparable in Nikon's analogues:
I’m not a megaprof in photography, but the photo as you said grabbed! Cool!
Thank you))
Peter, please specify a full frame camera or crop?
Nikon D610 camera i.e. full frame. Shot at 16mm, f / 7.1, 1/40 sec.
There is EXIF, you can see.
EXIF is problematic to watch, because I go with the mob. phone.
Peter, how does this glass show itself on an open and covered up to 3.5-4.0 aperture? Particularly interested in sharpness.
If possible, please make a couple of frames in the open and slightly covered, to assess the sharpness of the frame field
Oh sure. I'll do it in a week.
Not sure what to consider, but here:
f / 2.8
Later I will find some not very boring wall, and remove it.
f / 4
If you slightly shame the last one:
Thank you Peter!
Well, thank God, the voice of reason in the abyss of storms!
Lord You guys just take pictures - whether for money or out of spiritual need, just take pictures if you and your loved ones enjoy it. If you get high from this, it doesn’t matter which camera and lens you are using. Shoot and rejoice that you live and have the opportunity to create! Good luck !!!
Do not stop the boys from waving rulers, because for many this is the meaning of life!
Peter, do not be shy, a great photograph.
Thank you. Very glad I liked it.
Peter where is such beauty and mysticism of the first photo?
The most important thing here is the light of the rays of the sunset. Literally about five minutes in the evening, the sun, making its way through the trees of the alley, illuminates the facade of the building with a rich orange light. If there are clouds on the horizon next to the sun, then a lilac shade is also added in the shadows. The rest of the time - an ordinary boring gray stone, nothing interesting at all.
I came there four times, and already know in what weather and time the light I need will turn out.
So, as promised, Tokina 16-28. I didn’t rule anything so that all corners were visible without changes.
16mm f / 2.8
