Oh dare I say it? This is a 100% crop using the 35 f1.4L. Do I deserve such a lens? Probably not, but gonna have fun learning how to use it:-))
Bit of edit here, probably not a true 100% but close.
'nother edit below is the origonal shot

on June 26, 2006:-))Sebastian, up real close and personal, well that is what the 60 mm macro is for, but we almost always have some wind. Blah! With the new lens you can be about a 1'+ off have super fast shutter speed to freeze, then crop the you know what out of the shot. Way too much fun:-)

on June 26, 2006The crop brings out so much more of the flower detail - good choice. Now you've to get used to go a lot closer with your new lens as you can't zoom that far anymore. ;)

on June 25, 2006wow, that's a massive crop without losing much ! neat pic and lens !I think even one such shot makes it worth it, dont you think ( I'm justifying all lens purchasing for all time :))

on June 25, 2006Susan, LS, thanks for taking a look. 'The Lens' I needed that focal lengh and I needed fast for inside. Read the reviews, took a BIG gulp and went for it. Its fast, quiet and wonderfully (is that a word?) built. The weak link in this whole system is yours truly.

on June 25, 2006Very Nice! and hey! I want that lense! LS

on June 24, 2006100% might not have been quite right since they show up on the screen at 25% and I cropped to 100%:-) Went from 3504-2336px to what you see above (677-702) tiny bit of the origonal. I have never been able to crop that much and not have the shot look all weird.
Glad you like the shot, and thanks!

on June 24, 2006What does 100% crop mean? No crop? 100% cut off would be no picture. Do you mean you can crop down to a tiny bit of the original and still get this crisp look? If so, this is wonderful. And the smooth background is also wonderful. The light is also wonderful. Did I say this is a wonderful shot?
