Monday, 15th to Sunday, 21st of October!
Remember this is not supposed to be a contest, just an "exchange" of photos. You can post more than one shot, but I would suggest max. 3 per lens, OK? Otherwise we might drown in pics.
Enjoy!
P.S.: Film and digital are "allowed", as well as MF and AF lenses. We do not want to be restrictive, right? This idea is about photography, not dogmas. _________________ Personal forum activity on pause every now and again (due to job obligations)!

Jes, if it's up to me, you could use your Sigma 18-200 although it is an AF-lens. It is about focal lengths.

Is this valid?. I understood should be superwide after multiplying by the crop factor... If not we're in advantage to the 5D owners
18 x 1,6 would show as 28mm, that it's outside the range...

Don't worry about any possible multiplication factor Jes - if the focal length of your Sigma zoom is marked as being 18-200 then it covers the superwide category. Like Carsten says, it's the lens focal length that counts...

As far as the Superwide goes - I could use a 0.6 WA converter on a 28mm to give me a 16mm equivalent Laughing Unluckily, the only 28 that's a direct fit for the converter is a crappy Sirius with a bit of fungus, but whatever, it's the shot that counts, right? |
Well, I'm glad you're ok about AF lenses, because I've just taken some test shots with the WA converter on the Sirius 28mm and they're absolutely awful. I've never seen such CA and terrible out-of-focus problems. One would have to be desperate - hey, I've just realised, why spend money on a Lens Baby? I've got one just as bad right here.
I'll fall back on the Canon 18-55 plastic lump and use it manually at the wide end. Compared to the kludge of WA+28mm it's crystal clear. _________________ Dave - Moderator

I have the Sigma 10-20 - I use it on my 400D as it's the only way to get wide on a crop camera.
It's a handy lens but it's lacking definition (read= soft) and has significant geometric distortion. I would never attempt to shoot architecture with it, but for landscapes is ok.
How could you use a polarizer on it an not have it to cause sky gradient? I tried so many times, impossible to make the whole sky polarized at such wide apertures. _________________ Orio, Administrator

I use a polariser (a screw in 77mm one) more often than not and have never had any particular problems with it. |
It is physically impossible for a polarizer (whose work is precisely to selectively block light rays at the selected angle) to polarize evenly a sky that covers more than 90° of angular field.
I mean, it's just impossible, the very nature of the polarizer makes this impossible. From degree 91° onwards, the polarization starts decreasing.
The Sigma 10-20 has an angular field of 130° 23' at the widest and 94° 30' at the narrowest.
Therefore not even at 20mm you can polarize a sky evenly. Let alone, of course, at 10mm, where you would get a full one/third of sky exposed at a different polarization level than at the selected angle.
The only explanation I can find to this is that your polarizer is not really polarizing. _________________ Orio, Administrator

I'm not missing anything about the use of polarizers, I use them it's 20 years thank you. If you have found a way to get past the physical limitations of polarizers, well, good for you. My polarizers still make the sky yucky past 90° of angular field. _________________ Orio, Administrator

Crappy 18-55 kit lens but manually operated at 18mm. The pic was felched around a bit through HDR Shop, and fiddled with to regain some contrast and colour after it came out the other end looking like it had been through a washing machine at high heat. The contrast and lightness is as good as I can get it without bleaching out detail.
Times like these I miss dodging and burning but bugger that for a game of soldiers.
My first go at HDR Shop, in an attempt to retain at least some sky colouring and restore some range to the output. The slope on the left side of the tower isn't all due to the lens, it's actually quite like that.
For a first attempt it actually works - I'm quite surprised, although you can see the shortcomings and limitation of it. Does anyone know of a free PS plugin to get rid of CA? _________________ Dave - Moderator
