Introducing…

3 new lenses! LOL

Right… I’ll go from widest to longest.

Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM

The must-have lens for landscape and architecture junkies like me using a Canon EOS 3-digit or 2-digit variant (because it’s EF-S, not EF and it’s only compatible with 1.6X Crop Factor cameras, so it’s actually equivalent to 16-35mm, not really 10).

I gotta say, this lens is very sharp, even at the corners and at wide open aperture settings. Distortion is almost zero, and no distortion and good sharpness is something VERY nice for wide angles.

Look Ma! I don’t need to step back! LOL

Another one taken at Pavilion KL.

Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM

Superbly sharp in corners, which is why I just looovvveee L series (L=Luxury) lenses.

This one also has the Image Stabilizer, which can hold a shutter speed and compensate shaky hands for up to 3-stops slower than the suitable shutter speed without IS.

I really love this lens, the zoom range is huge but that does not make it soft or whatsoever. Which is why it’s the Canon EOS 5D’s optional kit lens. And there’s a little surprise at the end of this post

Also, barrel or pincushion distortion is almost absent.

Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM

This is a 4-stop Image Stabilizer, a full one more than the 24-105. It’s very sharp, as most telephotos are and with 200 X 1.6mm=320mm, I can shoot the moon.

I love the off-white colour and texture on it’s barrel. It’s off white to dissipate heat in the blazing sun for sports photographers, which can affect the speed and accuracy of the autofocus.

All three lenses have no shortcomings I noticed, so I’m very happy with them

And believe it or not, I went plane spotting with this 70-200mm in KLIA. lol

I’ll cut it short and just post photos. No, I didn’t get inside the runway, I’d get charged for that. I just stayed outside it at the end of one of the runways and at the Weather Station, which is a perfect spot for take-offs and landings. If you need directions, just leave a comment on this post.

Same fella.

Same fella just before touchdown

Ok the surprise at the end is my dad got a EOS 5D so the 24-105 has the perfect body to work with. Hahah

The 5D is a full frame so dynamic range, noise control and sharpness is superb.

And…

I got to try out a Nikon D3 + Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8 G N or something like that. The D3 is super fast with 9-11 fps. It’s owned by the previous owner of the 5D, btw.

And…

I got to see this Canon EF 600mm f/4L IS USM in Canon Centre, Pavilion KL.

You wouldn’t wanna handhold this. Haha

I just noticed I haven’t changed my banner although it’s already half-past 2008. Well, I’ll get around doing it.

Well, that’s it for now. Take care and thanks for reading.
