Hello. I'm not sure if this is in the spirit of the thread but this was taken with my Nikon D80 fitted with a Sigma 70 - 200mm f2.8. Tell me if I misunderstood please: 160mm at f2.8.

Regards

Phil

@ Mike:
35-70 CZ at 70mm

May I ask how you focus with that lens? Normal focussing glass in the 5d, or maybe a confirm adapter? I have a Contax to EOS confirm adapter, however with the 30-70 it is not working because it hits the mirror, well, the mirror of course hits the lens.

I find exact focusing with just the normal viewfinder difficult in the 5d, viewfinder is large enough to compose well, but not large enough to focus well, for me...

thanks
Bernie

Bernie,
To focus I always use a C-angle finder and I don't have the focus confirm adapters (I use one of Son's).

The CZ 35-70 can hit the 5d mirror. Remove the small rectangular-curved block on the side of the rear lens shroud. I did this on 2 versions of the lens I have and it solved my problem on a 5D that I had (the 1ds2 has always been OK). It should be noted that for a few people this did not work....it's been mentioned a number of times with different responses.

Good luck,

Mike

Sadly all of Guy's comments, and presumably his account, seem to have disappeared. Jack Flesher's too which is as great a shame. Variety of opinion is good. However, every cloud has a silver lining, and in this case the deletion of those comments illustrates the nature of the TP bug. Guy posted many times on the M8 big prints thread, whose last page now appears to be many pages beyond the last comment. Clearly, either...

1) the db is recording how many pages are on each thread, but failing to update that number correctly when posts are deleted

or

2) code which counts the number of posts in a thread is miscounting by including posts which are hidden/inactive/deprecated

The solution to this is almost certainly a one-liner, and Fred looks like he will be arranging to fix this shortly.

I have uploaded a few images taken with my C/Y 35-70 f3.4 and 5D to my portfolio . I am very impressed with sharpness of this lens for landscapes, although I don't think I'd shoot with it into a strong light source. I also had a 21mm Distagon on the trip, but didn't get to use it much.

Why do you say this, Chris?

The 35-70 is my main night architectural photography lens, and its ability to tame extreme point sources of bright lights (lamp posts, streetlights, etc.) is among the best of the lenses I've used. Beats the Leica 35-70/4 easily.

Here's an example. It doesn't get any better (or rather worse) than this. I'm about 10m from that lamp post.
