Better than most recent threads...

Back seat compared to the 17-55? Not really.I can make any lens struggle with bokeh if the background is not far enough, even the 50L and the 135L.

Have you ever shot videos at f/2, 135mm? I have (tried). Unless you are shooting a statue, it is a disaster.

Somebody will shoot movies at 135mm, f/2 with manual AF???

Somebody will shoot movies at 135mm, f/2 with manual focus???

That image is awful, like an image taken with some vintage lens from the 1950's that the guy got on ebay for $20.

Didn't you ask for CC?OK, let me try again:That's great! Thank you for sharing!

You lifted the shadows too much. There is banding on some of the images. Those are night shots, there should be plenty of true black.\#2 reveals potential flare problems.

The earlier exchange in this thread was about how doing this officially differs from same sex (official) marriage.

Different cameras, different formats...

Yeah, that is bad. They should be doing exactly the opposite - replace their computers by human accountants.

Told you so! ;)

Just stronger NR.

The 5D2 is very protective on the highlights. If there is any strong reflection, the camera will try to protect it by underexposing.

Yeah. I bought my 50D from them a few years ago. They are serious, the only downside is that you cannot get a refund if you want to return it but they will exchange it if there is a problem.

Another option is to wait to see what Canon will do with the 50/1.4 II. I think this is what I will do.

There is an easy solution to that, shoot in portrait mode. :)

Here, a JPEG from the 5D2, standard settings: The PF can be reduced if you front focus a bit, and gets worse if you back-focus.

Chances are, they do not know how to use Google Translate.
