The EF 28MM F1.8 USM was my 2nd favorite on my 7D (after the most excellent 17-55 IS), and now is my favorite on my 5D MKIII

Paazel... How do you like the new 5DMkIII body? I believe the AF has been updated along with the Digi processor & the movie modes. I have the MkII which I love.

EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM
I picked this up in Dubai on the way home from Europe. I haven't used it much yet but it takes freaky super wide shots in low light & there is no fish-eye effect! Great for architecture. External filters need not apply... I can make The Lady look like a smurf when shooting top down! 114° field of view, this prime lens goes beyond human perspective. Ideal for capturing small interiors, large subjects at close distances or dramatic landscapes, this highly expressive lens can also be used to create a strong sense of separation between close subjects and background.

LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. The full frame sensor just gobbles up light. Full frame + the massive AF update were the two deciding factors for me to move from 7D to 5DIII.
I think I'm going to be shooting with my primes for the most part; I'm not so thrilled that the 24-70 II is $2300 and no IS! |

Fantastic!....I would prefer the 24-70 if it had IS. I'm not a big fan of the EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM, b/c it is f/4L & can be on the softer side...Alas, cannot part company with it as it is still a convenient all rounder. Next on the cab is a EF 85mm f/1.2L USM II. Now that is an awesome prime! Last edited by MyPal; 05-30-2012 at 02:50 AM. |

Wow...Super shots of The Louvre. Makes me want to go back & take that shot!!! I agree it is super sharp, even better than the 16-35mm zoom. Yes, the 14mm does have a very slight edginess to it, but with careful framing, I think you can compensate. At the very worst, there is always Photoshop! |

As for flash, I haven't managed to get a proper handle of the 580EX II yet & need more practice with flash photography... I read the 600 is more forgiving & easier to use. Last edited by MyPal; 05-30-2012 at 03:09 AM. |

I'm going to try to funk around more with the 14mm, try to get a better handle on it. I'm excited for the 600 as it has RF for remote trigger built in. I had to get remote trigger for a shoot once, and I was led to the flashpoint ones. They're poorly built & didn't work as well as I would have liked.
