Canon / Help me choose a Wideangle please

« on: April 07, 2010, 12:22 »

Hi guys!
Time has come to purchase a L lens and this time is a wideangle.

Let's get it straight, there are three possible choices for my 5dMkII I came up with:

Canon 17-40mm L f/4
Canon 16-35mm L II f/2.8
Canon 14mm L f2.8

Now I sadly have to exclude the 14mm because of a budget reason... golly it's 2.000 euros!!
The 17-40mm is much less expensive than the 16-35mm but it is designed - if I am not mistaken - not for full frame cameras, so the images it produces are very soft in the corner of a 35mm sensor.
All the roads seem to lead me to the 16.35mm II , which I know it is a great lens with a lot of flaws being fixed after the release of the second model.

What really bothers me it's the weird circumference of the lens that has changed in the II version: it went from 77mm to 82mm.
My filters - Hoya Moose's Cir Pol, Hoya ND400 - are 77mm. You will say "Fine, buy the 82mm version", alright but Hoya does not produce a 82mm version of the ND400, not even B&W.. hmm tricky situation.

Anyway I'd like to receive an opinion about which lens would you purchase is you were me.
Thanks in advance!

Canon / What CF Card for a 5D Mark II?

« on: January 07, 2010, 13:57 »

Hi guys!

Tomorrow I will finally go take my 5D mark II at the shop but I'm having some doubts about what CF card to purchase.

Considering that I will take advantage of the video feature and shooting in full RAW (what else?

) ~~I was thinking of a 32 GB Flash card but they have a lot of different types.~~ I will chose a couple of Sandisk Extreme 16GB

But which one?

If you count on doing a lot of video, try the Xtreme IV. My III gave some glitches. Perhaps that's due to the fact I work in the tropics in an ambient temperature of 35°C+.

Thank you for the advice, I checked the site store I'm gonna go tomorrow and that's what they have:

SanDisk Extreme IV CF 16 GB 16GB @ 45MB/s - 169€

Versus

SanDisk Extreme III CF 16 GB 16GB @ 30MB/s - 69€
