What lens Was Used?

[Pehpsi]

Anyone know how to find out what lens grant uses for his shots? They look awesomely sharp and good

I know the body is a 30D.

iso 400> 1/800s>f5.6>330mm for this shot and exposure mode manual.......

[Pehpsi]

330mm, that's a big number. What does Canon offer in this size?

Hi
It could be can 100-400 f5.6 IS.

[Pehpsi]

Thanks guys. Just curious

It could be the 100-400 f5.6 IS.

I think that's the only Canon that will do odd lengths (ie, zoom)over 300mm at f/5.6.

The other options are some of the 3rd party lenses like the Sigma 80-400/5.6 OS, or maybe the Sigma 120-300/2.8 <cough> with a TC. Maybe some of the 200-500-ish lenses might do 330/5.6 as well.

Grant most definitely used his 100-400 for this shot, James

He also has a 70-200 2.8 which he uses quite regularly.

Will I see you trackside for nitro champs?

ps. I greatly dislike the 100-400

[Pehpsi]

Thanks people.

Yeah i'll be there for sure kyle

Spewin' i missed a test & tune on sat though, didn't know

I love T&T meets cause there's no one there, and i can get some good panning practice in..But there's one next weekend i'll have to go to.

There's a T&T there this weekend isn't there? The wife and I might head out I think.

Sigma 120-300/2.8 <cough> with a TC.

Theres nothing wrong with this lens, let me assure you. Maybe read the user reviews at Fredmiranda?

Looks like your original question was not answered.

Get the Opanda EXIF viewer and you can bring up the EXIF data straight from your browser. You will need the Firefox plugin (on the same page) if you use Firefox.

You told him what lens was used, not how to find out.

Sigma 120-300/2.8 <cough> with a TC.

My objection to it is the unfortunate name, hence the <cough>. It physically cannot give you f/2.8 at 300mm as the front element is not big enough. 300/2.8=107mm, with a 105mm front element. Given edge losses, I think 100mm is a fair call for the biggest effective front aperture. The Canon 300/2.8 is 128mm diameter on the outside where the Sigma is 112mm.

Personally, I wouldn't buy one because it doesn't suit my shooting style. If it has IS (not OS) then I would quite probably own one already, but without that I think it would be unusable too often to be worth carrying around. But for people who use tripods or high shutter speeds, it's a brilliant lens. I was quite disappointed to discover that I couldn't use it when I tried it.

Yeah there's one on sunday (29th). Should be a few fuel cars there too

And my original Q was answered Just wanted to know what lens was used. Cheers.

[Kyle]

Any spare media passes for your team James?

[Pehpsi]

I don't think bob's going for t&t, does the team need to be there to get passes??

[Kyle]

I have no idea.. i might email mary and find out

[MCWB]

While we're on the topic, is entry usually free for T&T events? I assume you're wanting media passes just to get over the wall?

Oh and Kyle, sorry for suggesting you could borrow my 120-300 in the other thread. I'd forgotten you'd switched to Canon, I wasn't taking the piss!

[Pehpsi]

I'd say be prepared to pay $10 minimum, possibly $15.

[MCWB]

Great to know, thanks James!
