Just noticed this post. Like a lot of people, I've been thinking about this camera. But besides being in short supply, it's not cheap. So, it's good to hear what you think and to see a few real-world images. Nice to see that 1600 is very usable. I'll be interested in hearing what you think of the camera after spending more time with it. For now, a quick question. About that viewfinder... Do you wear glasses when you're shooting? Hi, Jim.

]]> Comment on One Cool Cat in Rome by Birgit http://jimarnold.net/blog/2009/02/one-cool-cat-in-rome/#comment-36 Birgit Tue, 20 Apr 2010 19:27:53 +0000 http://www.jimarnold.org/blog/?p=438#comment-36 Hello I think this cat is just the same as I met in Rome last summer. Sometimes the man had the cat with him on a bike and sometimes walking with him in a rope. It was very hot and warm, so he took the cat in to a public toilet and washed it really wet. He wlaked with the cat in Villa Borghese when I was there. The only cat I could see in Rome. There has been lots of cats many years ago. Most of them wild. Hello

]]> Comment on Canon 50mm f/1.2L versus the EF 50mm f/1.4 by NightAngel http://jimarnold.net/blog/2008/02/canon-50mm-f12l-versus-the-ef-50mm-f14/#comment-24 NightAngel Tue, 01 Dec 2009 03:09:00 +0000 http://www.jimarnold.org/blog/2008/02/canon-50mm-f12l-versus-the-ef-50mm-f14/#comment-24 I tried the three lens 50mm (1.8, 1.4 & 1.2) but I haven't found big differences in terms of rendering. OK I recognize that rendering of the 50mm f/1.8 is lower than the other two models. However I see no difference between f/1.4 and f/1.2. A huge price difference between these two models for rendering very close (if not identical). The construction quality is very different : bad on f/1.8, correct on f/1.4 and excellent on the f/1.2. I think the price difference is justified between f/1.8 and f/1.4, which isn't the case between f/1.4 and f/1.2. According to different readings, the f/1.2 isn't fundamentally better than the f/1.4 as focal lengths, apertures, etc. The f/1.2 is a very nice toy but with a price totally unjustified. If you have been psychologically capable of taking this step: congratulations! I tried the three lens 50mm (1.8, 1.4 & 1.2) but I haven’t found big differences in terms of rendering.
