if we lick your elbow, will some of that talent rub off??!

I respectfully request that Joey looks at my portfolio to see if I need that camera or not. I bet I do!

I'm sure the Canon will give you control in other aspects of photography.

Let see some with the new cam.

Taken with anastasia's 5D.

Well the truth is I had to turn down a bunch of jobs because I couldn't produce full res pictures with enough size. I also got better quality, easier editing (had to correct the other originals a lot), more dof, more choice of lenses, and low light capability. You know, all the usual stuff you get with an SLR. :-P

Congrats kiddo, welcome to the club. Now I officially challenge you to beat me in taking the 5D highscore from alexsaberi, let the fun begin! I know what you mean about spending less time editing with this camera, just love the full frame look. For example, I think I spent about 2-3 minutes editing my magic & mystery shot even though it was an advanced editing challenge.

Joey, I'm just wondering why you went with a 5D, and the Canon EF 28-135mm F/3.5-5.6 IS USM, versus a 30D and maybe 2 lenses that are a little higher quality. I'm sure that the 28-135 will be a great range on the Full sensor body, but did you consider a different set-up?
 08/26/2006 09:03:04 PM · #32
Careful...it may be too big for your little hands...

Enjoy, I know I will ( seeing the results).
 08/26/2006 09:04:39 PM · #33
I can't answer for him, but I'm guessing it's so he can upgrade lenses as he can afford it, while still being able to get decent results with that lens in the meantime because the body is so good.

Folks -- this is dangerous !! This is serious !
USA - do something about your northern neighbours.
Joey Lawrence with a 5D !! My God !
Maybe we should change the address of the site and not tell him. Then we might be safe (didn't we do that for Kiwiness - I thought thats why we hadn't heard from him for a while ?).

Seriously Joey, enjoy and congrats on your new toy.
I think you have had to do things the old fashion way - therefore have got the most out of every camera/situation etc. The best way to learn and fine tune. I think this is what kenskid was referring to.
(now you will have to start looking for lenses).

Ahhhh...jealousy!!!

Yeah it's almost scary, it feels as though there is something wrong. ;-)

The 28-135 IS is an amazing lense when used in the correct situations. I needed a medium-range lense but I hate switching lenses to get that extra telephoto I always seemed to be lacking. I've pulled up my images at 100% and they look just as good and sharp as L-glass. The price was intriguing too, I was able to get a deal and this lense turned out cheaper than 250$ Canadian. To me it has slightly less color rendition than more expensive lenses, which is pointless to buy for my style of work.

I chose the 5D because of it's range and latitude with the full frame sensor, I was also very impressed with it overall after borrowing one from Nasti (Anastasia). I've been getting into a lot of more professional work lately and I need the kibibbles, if I didn't I would have gone with the 20D. :-)

Just two lenses you gotta try with this baby, that is a 50mm, any kind, doesn´t really matter if it´s the 1.8 or 1.4 version. Great for shallow dof and full body shots, well all around really and should suit your style perfectly and if you want even shorter dof and cooler bokeh, get the 85mm 1.8, shouldn´t set you back too much and perfect for just throwing that backround right out of focus with no problems. Have fun kiddo!

Not a boring moment! Congratulations.

Suh-weet! Congrats Joey, enjoy your new toy! :-)
 08/28/2006 09:57:19 AM · #40
Uh, oh... I tawt I taw a photo brat! I DID, I DID taw a photo brat!

Now that Joey has a real camera- that's all folks! ;-)

Joey, dude! Welcome to Team 5D! You are going to love that cam. I fully concur with Larus, stick a fast prime on there... 50m or 85mm would be great... and have fun!
FWIW, the bokeh on the 50/1.4 is *much* nicer than the 50/1.8

I hear ya on the switching lenses...I use the 28-75 most of the time...but it's a bitch inside as it's just not quite wide enough....and I do like my 18-55 but it's just not long enough! The three I'm contemplating are: 24-105L, 24-70L, or 17-85.....I wanna try them before I decide which one to buy though.

Anyhow....congratulations on your new purchase! I'm looking forward to seeing some more of your stuff as always!

Congratulations on your new camera, I hope you find it to your liking.
 08/28/2006 02:44:30 PM · #44
Oh dear. I paid for one of those DVDs. I helped finance this. WHAT WAS I THINKING????

Seriously, congrats on the new toy. Go forth and do good things that will blow our collective socks off. :-)

Just for the record, the 5D uses longer lenses for the same angular coverage and delivers less DOF on a given shot thereby... But congrats on your new tools, Joey.

Bear, there I was comparing it to my Mintola camera. It has a mounted lense and you can achieve very little DOF even at 2.8
 08/28/2006 04:17:55 PM · #47
you mean lots/deep DOF even f:2.8 ? versus shallow DOF

no bokeh.

I'm pretty sure the 28 will work alot wider on the full-frame sensor than on your 20D (probably pretty close to your 18).
 08/30/2006 02:04:45 AM · #49
Cooool!!! Congrats :)))) Now stop looking at it Joey....we wanna see pictures!!!
