I was thinking of getting a Canon 24-105 lens for my 5D (to replace my 28-135) however, now I am reconsidering. Yesterday I was out taking pictures of professional acrobats with my standard walk-about lens, the 28-135, and the photos came out well enough that I'm thinking maybe I'll just keep the 28-135. What do you think? Are there clear advantages of going with the 24-105 other than the build quality?

Here is an example of one of the photos I took from yesterdays photo expedition. It is a jpg straight out of the camera with zero processing. The first is the original size and the second is a 100% crop:

Original Size:

100% Crop:

Of the 300 plus photos that I took yesterday, 99% were keepers. This was with servo mode turned on. I really liked the colours that the 5D produced and the sharpness of the unprocessed photos were more than acceptable. I shot everything in jpg and I wonder how much better the results would have been if I went RAW with processing.

So did I get lucky and end up with a good copy of the 28-135? Should I still consider moving on to the 24-105?

I am not versed with Canon optics but judging from your shots the lens paired well with the 5D.

Wow details of the eye is very clear. which lens?

My first picture post for my 5D... well i'm a noob so still learning.

so these are the pictures i took since i got my cam a few months back. Hope they get at least a 5/10 from critics here.

Oldie but still a goodie! Loving mine to bits even after over 4 years.

I have both the 7D and 5D. The one I use the most is the 5D. I guess it suits my style of photography better. It's a great camera!

I went down to the Marina Bay Sands earlier this evening and took about 100 photos. The lighting was not great but I tried to make the best of it with my trusty old 5D.

Just took my 5D back from csc after about 2 weeks there.

had to resend in after i changed my PCB, this time they changed the whole mirror box for free.

hope it's alright now.

Hope so too mate! Happy clicking!

Hi All, does 5D Mk2 produce better quality than 5D Classic?

Hi All, does 5D Mk2 produce better quality than 5D Classic?

i think it's almost on par... i heard both 5D and MK2 users who used both, say the colors on 5D classic is nicer and naturer.

I've tried the MK II before and I feel that it's about the same lah.
