Both versions of PS come on the disk. Can you un-install it and re-install it
on the mac?

Hey, Andy--are you familiar with DxO for optical correction? For your vignetting concern, also does chromatic aberrations, distortions, blur. A buddy of mine swears by it. You can batch in it too. It's on my "list".

thanks lynn, yeah i'm familiar with it, but i'm avoiding more software now like the plague. acr corrects the vigging just fine....

thanks for the tip though!

16-35L edge sharpness (again)
i'm really cool with it

here's the full pic, resized of course:


and, here's an 800px by 800px 100% crop from the lower left corner. my focus point was at least halfway into the pic, btw. i shot this at f/11, focal length of 16mm.

Andy

more from the 16-35 f/2.8L
just to show that this lens does indeed perform on the ff body. i'm really happy

shot with 1Ds Mark II, canon 16-35 f/2.8L, 16mm focal length, iso 100, 2secs at f/11, mlu enabled.



100% crops (direct from raw, no post processing. they respond very well to standard usm)

I saw some 40x60 prints from my friends 1Ds mkII on Friday. They are very impressive and the small details hold up very well at that size. It is amazing how good that camera is.

I think Andy needs to print a few that size to hang around his new monitor so it does not feel oversized.

Big prints are awesome, even better if someone else is buying.

performance with 85mm f/1.8
the elitists on some boards would scoff at using a $400 lens on this camera, but canon's 85 f/1.8 is one of their best values. sharp! contrasty, fast focus, light as a feather. oh and of course fast

here's a 100% crop of this pic posted over in "shots"

the details this camera gets stun me.

I was debating the 85/1.8 or the 100/2, and reviews show the 85mm is the better of the two.

I was shooting with a pro whose lens mount came loose within a week of getting his 1DsMk11 :splat Canon still have it for repair. He loves the 20d though

1Ds Mark II outresolves Medium Format?
very interesting comparison of 1Ds Mark Ii to Medium Format here

That has been Michael Reichman's contention since the 1ds first appeared, that the digital images are better and sharper than medium format film images.

Butnot medium format digital backs like Leaf or Kodak.

imo, the canon 20d can outdo film for many purposes (say, prints up to 16x20). but this is so very subjective, isn't it?

When I first stated shooting with a 10D, I was so impressed that it's images were vastly superior to most 35mm film images - particularly 35mm negative film.
I have posted B&W images I shot on Tri-X and souped in D-76 myself, and the grain and accutance in them does not begin to compare to a 20D. Not even close. Kodachrome 25 maybe was he closest, but much higher contrast with less shadow detail.

Make that fried eggs, and add some cooked tomatoes and you have the classic English "fry up" breakfast. *Burp.*

after a brief period of brain malfunction i now have a 1Ds Mark II again so i'm planning on keeping the 20d as my long body (for telephoto) and the 1Ds II for most of my wide angle shooting.

interestingly, i found the camera via ebay. brand new, unopened, us warranty. it was being sold by a well-known photojournalist, and i was able to verify by speaking to this photographer, the provenance and legitimacy of the seller. was able to get a sweet deal, too, supremely sweet.

Didn't you just sell your 1DmkII (no s) because it was too big Does this mean you really were not happy the the files produced by the 1DmkII after all?

i owned the 1Ds Mark II, from Dec thru Mar... then a fellow dgrinner bought it from me. Then I used my 1Ds in Yosemite, and decided that I'd go back to the 1Ds Mark II... file size is fine - big, but fine... i upgraded my studio system to a g5 powermac back in january.

thanks bodley!

Uh-oh. Sounds like you're about to re-purchase that 30" display for all those huge files...


actually, I AM just kidding. As sick as you are, Andy, I'm sure that you realize that the 23" really is large enough...

i felt like i was in a tennis match with the 30" display. the 23" is perfect size for me, really and truly.
