I’ve recently made the change and it was obvious from the start that the images had a nice look to them. The bokeh was smoother and the DoF is shallower, also the tone rendition was better. Another thing that I like is the huge viewfinder you get with the mirror being so much bigger, it makes...

It’s a great effect when done well, it looks like you’ve encountered the same problem as I did when I tried it once; the dark areas down the side of the car. It happened on mine too, it seems that I didn’t get even coverage of the car and there was a dark patch :/ Still a good shot non the less :)

The above mentioned Sigma 10-20 is fantastic, don’t bother with the f3.5 version, it’s more money and supposedly less sharp. The Tokina is also excellent and you get that F2.8 aperture - but of course, that comes with a premium. These were some of mine with my old D7000 & 10-20 combo AG Clio...

Yeah that's a crop body, he means the crop sensor (smaller than full frame)

I agree with Phil on that point, after using James's this weekend I couldn't get over how good it was, the autofocus was especially a luxury on the 5D2 for frantic street stuff. It's a nice focal length on FF too.

Probably because it was too bright to answer for James. ​And yeah I probably would if I could afford one :p

If you have the money go for the 5D, it's superior in every aspect. If you want to save some money for some glass then get the 6D, it's still a fantastic camera.

James's 100-400 is great for reach, it was long on FF so on crop it'd be insane; it'd be an effective 640mm on Canon 1.6x crop, so that'd be ideal for your plane stuff, the autofocus is quick and it feels really sturdy, I think you'd like it. I have to agree with Phil too, it is better to have...

You really notice too, the detail at 100% crops is unreal coupled with the 21mp of the 5D

Yep, as James said. I'll miss that lens when I give it back to you :/ I'm definitely getting an L lens next.

I think other than my 50mm I'll be getting L glass for my 5D, after using James's 135 F2L for London the difference is clear.

That would be good Brazo, but I intentionally got the shot to show the emptiness of a usually bustling place :)

Cheers guys :)

Definitely not, god the AF is quick, you never miss a shot! It’ll pain me handing it back to you :dapprove: Thanks again for lending it to me, Mate!

I agree, Harry. It was nice in the mix of the hectic city not to be changing lenses :)

I like that last one, A_Cro! The bokeh is a nice touch IMO.

Thanks Guys! Hopefully I’ll make some more trips down there in the future, it’s the first time I’ve been into the centre since 2004!

Absolutely loving it, especially when coupled with an L lens as it was for these :)

One from London this weekend that fits this theme perfectly- Opposites by Niall97, on Flickr

So on saturday I went to London to take some pictures and to just take in the sights of the city, I couldn’t have asked for better weather - as most of you will know it was scorching on saturday which made it a perfect day in such an awesome city. I hope my photos aren’t too cliche either, I’d...

Awesome work, I love all of them!

Well done, A_Cro! A well deserved win given that great shot! I like the theme too, I'll see if I can get something for this on Saturday.

Thanks :) Surprisingly the natural light was quite good there.

I spotted this Manchester today- Maserati Gran Turisimo by Niall97, on Flickr

Good shots, really sharp too. This wasn’t wide open though was it? It doesn’t look like it, so if I’m correct I’d have probably thrown it wide open to blur the background some more and to give a softer appearance to the image. But great shots that I’m sure that they’ll be happy with! I’ve not...

ENTRY The people on the boat have either been or are embarking on a journey so I feel this one is applicable :) Boat Sunset by Niall97, on Flickr

Haha, I'm favourable given the OP shoots Canon too ;)

That lens is really sharp!

Gutted that I couldn't make it this year, hopefully I'll be able to make it next year, the venues are always great.
