Canon EF 28-135 IS, but IS was off for those shots

yea, its not too bad, ive also got an old 28-105 with a busted AF but thats one of the lenses that used to be better than the L series lenses, unfortunately no one has parts for the USM af in it anymore

**wing_gundam** · 02-16-2008, 11:39 AM

bump!

JeShUa · 02-16-2008, 11:51 AM

From what I've seen, the 28-135 isn't that vivid when it comes to colors and isn't sharp enough. Maybe I'm just being picky

.. But honestly, I can tell when iLL FG2 uses his

.. the colors look washed out.. lol.

Me thinks this thread is turning into the dSLR Squad thread v2.0...

It's fine to talk about technique and lens choices. One of the purposes of having these challenges is to talk about photography and help educate. I just ask that posts here remain fairly on topic.

ecosse · 02-16-2008, 03:35 PM

Cool, its just that it'd be nice to see a few more submissions, even though I haven't made one yet, lol. Still trying to figure something out.

.jrmyrmx · 02-21-2008, 11:19 PM

ahh..looks kinda dead in here. sheesh people, what am i paying you guys for?! get back to work

people not liking the topic or something?

arisenfury · 02-21-2008, 11:28 PM

I think it's a good topic, but, at least up here in CT it's kinda hard to shoot for it. Not many bugs out there except for the typical house spiders. I think in another 2 months or so it'd be a really fun one to shoot with lots of insects and tons of plants starting to bloom.

.jrmyrmx · 02-23-2008, 08:56 PM

yeah i see what you mean.

JeShUa · 02-24-2008, 02:23 AM

I can get "bugs eye view", but I need to get a day where i can see what I'm going to take a pic of.. it keeps raining.

Gaspar_06_Civic_EX · 02-24-2008, 08:35 AM

Rpm2 · 02-24-2008, 02:48 PM
