Hey, looking at this lens myself, i assume your shooting full frame, the shots from the water into the light are great, very sharp and great exposure. I just got a 5dmk3 and did some similar shots into the light on the 24-105 L and the detail is amazing, well done.
I'm a lot of years late to this party, but the 70-200 f4 is either going to be my next, or my second-next lens to purchase. I may do a 24-105 first. Either one will be a nice addition to use with my 7D and 1DX Mark III.
This is by far the best lens review I've seen, you may not be talking about all the petty facts, but you show it in action and gave a good opinion on it. Thanks for the help on finding me a new lens :)
The way you were slinging that gear i was wondering if it was lighter..2.8 is a small chore to use..use a circular polariser for great results in beach and surf captures
Holy crap the water pictures are amazing. What do you think about the modern cameras having such good ISO to where you don't really need the 2.8. Also where can i get and underwater case for the 80D?
yeah thats right the iso is getting so good down you can just use the f4. I use aquatech housings and have also used the cheaper mieikon housings which work well but you cant change ports.
I have and love this lens, it’s brilliant glass. I use it for birds in flights and landscapes mainly but it can also hold its own in a studio, but it’s very rare I use it there as I mainly shoot still life with my 100mm Macro L f2.8. For birds in flight you are usually at at least f8 to keep the whole bird in focus, so you up the ISO to get the shutter speed. For landscapes in low light you just extend your shutter speed and again you are around f11. So for my uses the f2.8 would be a total waste of money and added weight. I don’t know how long I’ve had mine, I think I got it just after my 5DII, about 8 years ago, and I have never once got Lens envy for another 70-200. I still have the 5DII as well and use it for landscapes saving my 5DIII for the studio.
YouzExtrem i have the older style zoom gears. There is a zoom ring around the lens which toggles onto a wheel that you can adjust on the outside of the port
Finally I found a surf photographer who posts videos about gear and experiences. Plus you live were I do, on the Gold Coast!
I really liked the music not gonna lie 🤟🏾
Canon EF 55-200mm f/4.5-5.6 II USM or Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM or 70-200 f/4l which is good for canon 80 D ?
hey man i would love to see your editing software, tips, and procedure u do to your photos!! just a thought to help amp your youtube account!!

Yip also have the 5d mark 3. Thanks Steve, yes the 24-105 is a great lens i use it often.
Amazing scenes. Thank you. It’s just a pity you didn’t mention the annoying loud IS whirring from the IS motors.
Yeah I forgot about that. I thought it was broken when I bought it. Such a loud af
Those photos from the ocean were amazing man. Makes me want to try underwater photography. I have the 6D wth this lens
+Travis Arnold yeah give it ago, housings are expensive but worth it
Is it working with aps crop sencor
.like 70D ?
Great stuff !!! Are you adjusting your fstop as well?
Not in this session I didn't, wanted to show what the widest aperture would produce. Usually I would.
Love watching these!! Can't wait for the next one👍🏼

It me thanks yeah yeah have since found this lens is super sharp at f5 and 5.6. Super good.
I just have to wait for mine to turn up then I'll have to try it out. Thanks
Awesome

Awesome wave and surfer pics . What song is that when you are in the water ?
Holy crap the water pictures are amazing. What do you think about the modern cameras having such good ISO to where you don't really need the 2.8. Also where can i get and underwater case for the 80D?
yeah thats right the iso is getting so good down you can just use the f4. I use aquatech housings and have also used the cheaper mieikon housings which work well but you cant change ports.
Dylan Brayshaw so what would you recommend? Because the only one I saw for the 80D was 995 USD....

Yes that’s it mark, I think I’ll have mine for a while too, it’s so good. I love how smooth the zoom ring is too.
Impressive video. But what model camera were you using?
A canon 5d mk 3
Awesome!
those water shots were epic man damn
What vehicle are you in?
Yes great .
How can you zoom with the aquatech .
YouzExtrem i have the older style zoom gears. There is a zoom ring around the lens which toggles onto a wheel that you can adjust on the outside of the port
What tripod do u use
Aperture
is the front lens of your housing acrlic or glass?
808 Empire I think it's glass.
What brand underwater housing is that?
its a meikon
Hi Dylan! How do you zoom in when in the water with the port around the lens? Thanks!
Hey Brendan the aquatech housing has a zoom gear that goes around the lens, the 70-200 is also super smooth for zooming too
Awesome man! Thanks! Thinking of getting a similar setup as you soon.
What tripod do u use
Its a manfrotto 190x with a video head
Can it fit the cannon 7d
Will Maddocks yeah I think it does, I do have the full frame sensor with the 5d mk3, so the crop factor on the 7d can give you more zoom.
Crop factor in the 7d is 1.6....70-200 x 1.6 =112-320mm
Horace Pastrana so it would have more zoom
yeah you would have more zoom
Will Maddocks Yep !!!!!!
What is amiture
Will Maddocks amateur? Aperture? Not sure.
