p.1 #1 · Interesting ExposurePlot findings


So I finally downloaded ExposurePlot to get a better idea of how I use my gear.


Camera:
CANON 350D

Lenses I use:
tokina 12-24
50 1.8 II
70-200 F4L


Findings:

1. I tend to use my zooms at their extremes- anyone else find this to be the same?
2. I hardly ever use 1600 ISO as I find it too noisy
3. I do approximately 80% of my shooting below 85mm
4. Most of my shots at 200mm are short, as in I would need something longer to get what I was looking for
5. I don't use the 50 1.8 that often due to focus inaccuracy - the 350d can't lock on in lower light environments

Solutions?
1. sell the 70-200
2. get a fast, wider prime- perhaps the 30 1.4, perhaps a 85 1.8?
3. Swap the 350D for a 40d for better AF accuracy/Higher ISO noise performance? I'm tired of looking into the tiny viewfinder where I can't tell focus(I've recently been spoiled by looking through a sony a900 viewfinder)


What do you all think?

@ falko

trying to be- I've decided I'd rather try to produce great people shots / landscapes vs any longer work

This is how i found out how much i really need 5D2. Well, I don't - 99% of my shots is under f8 & 1200 ISO
