Is that the mark 1 or mark 2? I find the 16-35 mark II having the best flare control at the moment in my entire arsenal of L glass (even without the hood, it doesn't flare as badly as the 24-70L)

Anyway, there's a brand new EF 50mm f1.0L up for grabs on Ebay. Probably the last new piece left in the world.

@lyricalmoments, it's a MII

ha! and they're both local sellers to me. It's such a speciality lens. So much $ though.

The MII has a lot of improvements over the 1st version, flare resistance is the first thing, followed by better sharpness at f2.8

A lot of my images that has won international awards were shot on the 16-35mm mark 2, this one for instance gotten 2 major awards so far.

lyricalmoments, that's a cool photo. Did you fire it with infrared? I don't see wireless radio triggers.

I see another 50mm f/1.0 locally. LOL. Much cheaper than the ones on ebay.

I bought a cheap A590 IS. Pretty weak compared to these, but sufficient for my needs.

For some reason the canon P&S's always seemed nice to me.
I'm sure it will serve you well fumoffuru.

I just realised they are both holding a flash each.

Infrared wouldn't have the range... it's triggered with the Pocket Wizards Plus II, it's coiled around the couples' hands.

Makes total sense. Good job hiding the wizards.

You can do quite a bit with the A590 - it has a decent selection of manual settings if you want to get into them and seems to be a good camera from what I've heard (I own an A630). Most of a good photo is the person behind the camera rather than the camera itself.

I think I like the 85 1.8 photos better. You have to get SO close with the 35. Renting is a good idea to try out lenses though.
