it's funny you said that Ds... had another suggestion for that exact lens from a guy on the photography forum i'm on, i'll add it to "the list"

Yup. It's a major sleeper. Not as flashy and fas as the 300f2.8 but plenty sharp and light. My fav long prime is the 135f2, now that's a great lens. Also love the 200f2 but it's really expensive.

yea the 135 f/2 is on that same list. i <3 that lens a lot, can't wait to shoot cars with it on a FF camera... hopefully next year :)

The 135 f/2 is superb -- but 15yrs old now. For the price it's an absolute bargain, but as tempting as it is I wouldn't be surprised if it's on Canon's update list, adding IS to the next ver. On a 1.6x crop body (7D etc) you'll be at 216mm and IS is a definite advantage at that focal length, particularly in low light.

FWIW I quite like the pics from 6spd earlier in the thread. Nice atmos.

thanks! I'd say of all the pics ive taken and posted, those were my weakest, but if you like them than great!

No new 135f2 coming anytime soon.

i wouldn't get any more lenses than i have now (17-40 f/4, 28-70 f/2.8, 70-200 f/4, 50 f/1.8) until i get back in a full frame camera, hopefully later this year. things are looking that way if i can discipline my wallet after i get my credit card paid off and sell my 7D before the value tanks

Used values will rise in the short term. Start saving.

Any news on the 8-15mm delays and when they expect them to be selling in (decent numbers in-) the US?

i still have yet to pick up a 7D... so if you do end up selling it send me a message :)

I'll hopefully be picking up a new lens soon... trying to narrow it down to what though. I really like the 85 1.2 but damn is it $$$$

yea the 85 f/1.2 is uhhhhmazing

subscribing.

If you want to save a few bucks buy a used v1 85f1.2. Same awesome optics but slightly slower focus speed. You won't notice much difference with a 7d

DS

anybody got any new pics? havent had any here in a while.

i haven't been shooting much recently... got ZdayZ coming up, that's gonna be huge :)
