p.1 #1 · 1DmkIII, 300Lf2.8 & sun in Stockholm


We had a nice day weather wise in Stockholm on the weekend, so I spent it out boating with the 300L f2.8 on my 1DmkIII

There is so much bitching and moaning about the 1DmkIII on this forum that I thought I would share these photos to show that it works so much better if you get out and shoot with it rather than moaning about how bad you heard it is.

And as for the 300L f2.8, ohh how I love this lens :smitten: I might not have used it as much over the summer as planned, but I certainly have no regrets buying it

9 Caught a photo shoot. They would not continue whilst I was there. As there was a path just above the location with plenty of people, I doubt that the jumper was coming off to reveal a birthday shoot. From further away I could see that it stayed on

Gorgeous photos. Thanks for posting them.

I couldn't be happier with my 1DMkIII. I get nothing but great results with it. Not only is the focusing rock solid when letting the camera pick the AF points, but the wide array of points I can use when selecting them individually gives me more flexibility composing my shots.

I think this pretty much says it all. Someday I hope to have the fortune to shoot with something like this.

Wait wait..sure, they are sharp, and taken with an awesome, expensive lense..but this set, for the most part, are just kind of...plain? Some are under exposed, and none really make me say 'wow, that's a great photo' as opposed to 'wow, that's a great lense'. SOrry.

Don't be sorry...

These were partly posted here for the "wow great lens" but mostly for the "wow you can get in focus shots with the 1DmkIII"

The AF looks like it was spot-on to me... which color dot version are you using?

wow, these images are technically beautiful!

Thanks

My mkIII is one of those that were on the sub mirror serial fix list. I finally got the fix and the blue dot only a few months ago
