Major Assignment #1.

Lens Research
(23/3/2012)
(week 6)


Ok... so after a bit of initial research into tilt-shift lenses, i discovered it is not the ideal lens for me to consider at the moment for a couple of reasons - the main reason being i felt it was better suited to a full-frame camera body (which i don't have) in order to gain a wider angle of view for architectural photography. Apart from this everything else about them is still quite appealing to me, so will keep it on the wish-list.


So... considering i currently do not have a long (telephoto) lens and my camera has a APSC sensor (focal length advantage) i will now pursue a standout, proven and affordable lens from Canon's "L-series". The 300mm f/4.0 L IS USM lens and i will be comparing it to it's challenger, the far more expensive 300mm f/2.8 L IS USM lens.

Well.. I made a start on this today. I have chosen Canon's tilt-shift lens collection to report on and compare. This is a lens i have had a genuine interest in for just over a year now, but have never looked into seriously, so i look forward to this assignment task even though I was never very good at this type of reporting through school. So i will possibly need some help from staff at the library etc but hey i'm determined and am sure going to give it my best.
