200 f/1.8 L stuff

[cdifoto]

Here's a repost. All I did was resize 'em to 800x533 then save for web to 75%

Second one. I split into 2 posts so A) I could attach and B) y'all don't have to click to see 'em.

Try proJPEG and you will see an astounding difference in image size.

I downloaded it and tried it. It's pretty nice. I'll have to train myself to use the filters tab for saving though...if I'm going to use it more often. My habit/routine is going straight for the Save For Web under File. I did that even for cw's lens shots.

Thanks for that link.

What a beast! (the lens, Don, not you... ) Wonder what cwphoto does with all that "L" glass. Do he have a photo gallery on-line?

Hey that's not really a 200 f/1.8L...that's me! Ain't I purty? (Had to use quite a few of those!)

I dunno if he has a gallery online or not...but I sure would like to see some samples if he does.

Reading the "economical lens" wedding post from today I just realized cwphoto does weddings. Yeah, would love to see some samples.

Don't have much online except an old crappy website so I'll try and post a few from that beast over the next few days in this forum.

It's CPS' lens (one of two), so it has been through just about every pros hands in this country I'd reckon. You'd be amazed at how little respect some of the journos and sports guys give to this sort of gear. My 70-200 is probably the worst condition of all my stuff as it sees a lot of time on the camera over the years.

It's been overcast and drizzly for the past few days so hopefully the weather will clear for tomorrow and the w/end (just as well; South Africa were looking like beating us in the Cricket and the rain may have just saved our hide).

Will probably take the fam up to a beach on the Central Coast on Saturday so I'll give it a work over then - will try and also do some stuff with the TCs to see how they fare as well.

Canon want it back early next week as all the CPS gear will be going to Melbourne for the Aus Open tennis later next week.

CDI, how did you get the images inserted? Do you have a hosting site?

Here's an old link I dug out for an album plan one of my suppliers did for me last year. All shot on the older EOS-1Ds:

Wow, that lens has seen some action... Is it a very heavy lens btw? That from piece of glass in huge..

It's 3kg (around 7lb). Heavier than the 300 f/2.8. It's not that hard to hand hold if you are used to big lenses like a 70-200 etc. But the first couple I snapped off of my son yesterday arvo showed a little movement (they were at 1/100s - IS has spoilt me).

I just resized 'em small enough for the forum and attached them the same way you did. The forum will create a link of 2 or more images but if you only put one it'll display it. I created a post for each image.

Ugh...NOW I'm outta here. Good thing my errands don't have a deadline
