Just another Canon shooter

Indeed, this is a pleasant surprise.

The 24-70/4 costs a bit more than the Pana 12-35/2.8 but it collects one stop more light. The 24-105/4 costs less than the Panasonic, and beats in in every possible way.

Isn't this lens a bit too long for a UWA for a mirrorless camera (shorter flange distance and all that)?

jiamflash, how much do you bet?

Actually, there is. First, CPs have very non uniform spectral transmission curves (see lenstip, for example). A shot taken with a filter, and with a warm one, project the whole spectrum to a 3D...

I have used a UV filter with that lens - no problem except in night shooting. On a beach - I would use one. A CP may help but it is not always a good idea. Try it. It changes the color balance, it...

They should have kept the photographers, teach them how to write reports on their smartphones, and fired everybody else, including themselves.

Right. I guess laying off the photographers was unenviable but they did not need to twist the truth. Wait, they are journalists.

This is a review???

This is the only real difference. To get similar color, choose Camera Standard in LR. Adobe Standard renders reds a bit orange, indeed.

Henry should run for president.

The B&H representative lied then??? And, to the point, the B&H rep confirmed that they indeed sometimes sell new equipment which was sold and returned as new. This is entirely legal and IMO...

Do not tell me that you finally understood equivalence. If so, this thread may not be as worthless as it looks.

The perspective is different. The 40D shots is taken from a different, slightly closer position. The cropping is a factor as well, as you say.

What is an eye opener - that FF allows you to shoot at 2.5 faster speed with the same results? Did that open your yes?

I bought the Sigma and returned it: soft corners, inconsistent exposure, so-so color. The Canon which I have rented before was much better, and I bought a used Canon, which I like a lot.

At this extreme ISO, the extra resolution coming from the more pixels and the less enlargement is mostly gone. For a closeup like this, the lower DOF would decrease the apparent sharpness. But this...

Why is it surprising? He used equivalent settings and got almost equivalent results. The 5d3 is only about 1/2 stop more efficient than the 40D.
