70-200 f2.8 is L shot at poor gym lighting at iso3200 with shutter around 1/500

Dang those sure at bright shots, everytime I see ISO 3200 makes me wanna buy a camera that actually supports that hi iso, since teh d50 I own doens't up that high :(

Would buying an f 1.4 make up for the "missing iso" performance ?

lol i didn't mean to put down the nikon 85 f1.4 in anyway, just wanted to tell metro that nikon offers an 85 that is just as good as the 85L so no need to get jealous. and plus why would i put down nikon when i own both system and have a d3 coming soon?

I don't think that the 85 f/1.4 Nikon is as sharp as the 85L. I have also heard quite a few people say that it's softer than the 85L, especially in the center but average on the border. But I'd love to have a 5D with an 85L. It would be a lot cheaper to go full frame with a lens of that caliber than going with the D3 and the 85 f/1.4 with similar quality. I'd have to say the D3 is the clear winner over a 5D but I don't have that much cash to throw around on just a body. Especially since I am not a professional.

Opinions of the Canon 50mm 1.4? Near to buying it.

I don't think it is worth the cash for the 1.4 and good just to go with the 1.8 instead. The only time I would go bigger in aperture would be in the 85mm range. If you are on a cropped camera then the 50 will be the same as a 75 on a Nikon and 80 on a Canon except for the 5D, 1Ds, 1Ds MK-II, 1D MK-III, and 1Ds MK-III which would be a true 50.

The 85 1.4 on a cropped canon is a great length for portrait work on both full frame and cropped cameras. I'd ultimately go for an 85 in 1.4 before the 50 but that is also my own opinion.

    • Lol I had one of these turn faulty in Jan, guess it wasn't just bad luck lol
    • I'm team Rossmann all the way. I have the exact same NVME, altough not in an array like him.
    • It had gone weeks ago. Although thinking about it I'm on the beta.
    • They thought value of their goods would forever only drop like it used to and didn't account for sudden increase in price because of all the Ai hype. Tough luck Samsung, don't try to weasel this one out. Also American customer protection laws are a**. In Europe, you need to be compensated for a functioning product of same or better characteristics (not same price point as when it was originally bought!) if it can't be repaired and when you receive a replacement product your warranty starts from scratch because you received a different item than you previously had and old warranty thus cannot apply to it anymore. If your actual item was successfully repaired, warranty gets extended for the period the item was in service. If item is repaired to a significant extent, warranty also starts over from scratch because major part of it was replaced. Americans need to fight to get this kind of consumer protections because they are constantly getting screwed over.
    • Microsoft releases new Windows 11 Media Creation Tool with the latest updates by Taras Buria Patch Tuesday updates arrive every month, bringing users new features and security updates. To make sure customers have access to the most recent images, Microsoft also releases updates to the Media Creation Tool app, its official utility for Windows 11 installation. Today, the company pushed new ISOs to Media Creation Tool, allowing you to create images with the June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates. With the latest update, the Media Creation Tool now downloads KB5094126. It is Windows 11 version 25H2, build 26200.8655, which is also available via Windows Update. Note that the app itself remains on the previous version, which you can check in Properties > Details. The only change is that it now downloads a more recent Windows 11 build, so the only way to check is to download an ISO. The June 2026 Patch Tuesday update is a special release for Windows 11, as it brings a new performance profile to make the operating system more responsive and snappier when rendering various user interface surfaces, including the Start menu, quick settings, and more. It does so by spiking processor speeds for a brief moment, resulting in higher loads for a second or two. The so-called “Low latency profile” is rolling out gradually, but you can force-enable it with the ViVeTool app. Other changes include webcam improvements, Task Manager updates, shared audio support, and more. You can download the Media Creation Tool app from the official Microsoft website using this link. Besides MCT, Microsoft lets you download Windows 11 ISO as a file directly from the official Windows 11 website. However, you will need a third-party app to write it to your USB drive. Check out this guide if you want to know how to do that.
