Canon presents two new tilt & shift lenses
February 18, 2009 by Leave a Comment
Canon announced two new tilt and shift lenses, the Ultra-Wide angle TS-E 17mm f/4L and the TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II, an upgrade to the TS-E 24mm f/3.5L. Probably a reaction to Nikons new TS lenses but a good move for anyone interested in serious architecture photography.
Canon EOS 5D Mark II review
February 14, 2009 by Leave a Comment
The test team at Dpreview has posted a detailled review of the Canon 5D Mark II:
“The 5D Mark II offers similar resolution to the Alpha 900, increases the sensitivity range to ISO 25,600, and offers high ISO/noise performance that gets close to the Nikon D700/D3. In short it – almost – offers the best of both worlds without costing the earth.
So while the 5D Mark II would never be mistaken as a camera aimed at sports or action photographers (thanks to its rather pedestrian AF performance and overall shooting performance), it balances resolution and high ISO performance very well.”
