So what's in your camera bag?
These days I shoot 100% small-format digital and (at this point) I am an exclusive Canon user.
My main camera is the 5D - which is incredible. Because it's lighter and smaller than any of the the Canon 1-series bodies, the 5D is a far superior travel companion. Among 35mm digital SLRs, the 5D's image quality
is second to none. Though it has somewhat less resolution than the Canon 1Ds mk2, many believe that the 5D's images to be superior in quality.
Moreover, the 5D's high ISO performance is unbeatable
by any normal production 35mm SLR on the market today. I use Canon 20D/30Ds as backups and for times when its more rectangular aspect ratio and
crop factor are desirable in the situation or for the subject matter. Though many consider the 20D/30D to be a "pro-sumer" camera, it produces really excellent images.
I am lucky enough to own several pieces of
Canon L glass. Here are the ones I use the most frequently:
- Canon 16-35mm F2.8L: Very versatile, very wide lens. Pretty good color, but is soft at the short end and suffers from some chromatic abberations.
- Canon 24-105mm F4L IS: Excellent lens. This is my new workhorse. Excellent color, very sharp at both ends. With the IS and the 5Ds amazing high-ISO performance, I never miss the stop between 2.8 and 4.0. Very mild vingetting.
- Canon 70-200mm F2.8L: Probably the sharpest lens I own, if not the toughest. I mean this thing is a tank. But pretty much perfect in every other way. In fact, it's so heavy I am considering selling it
and getting the new 70-200mm F4L IS. I believe it's about half the weight of the F2.8, and again with Canon's IS and excellent high-ISO performance I doubt I'd miss that one extra stop.
- Canon 500mm F4L IS: As sharp (maybe sharper) and tough as my 70-200mm. This is an incredible, awe-inspiring lens if you have a need for its bulk and reach. No complaints at all, other than I wish Canon would make
this lens in the same quality - only at half the size, a quarter of the weight and 1/10th of the price. Guess I'll have to wait for the long diffractive optics lenses Canon is rumored to be releasing in the near future. This lens is so good that they rarely,
if ever, come up for sale on the used markets. If you need one, save your pennies and get it. You won't regret it. Be warned, though - at 8.5lbs you can't hand hold this beast for more than a few minutes. You'll need an extremely sturdy tripod like the Gitzo 1325
or higher, a large ball head and probably a Wimberly (or other) gimbal mount. Ask me how I know...
Note only one prime in my most-used list. I prefer a few high quality zooms to a bug full of primes for versatility, simplicity and transportability.
