Looks to be pretty well built at least. The big thing with Tokina is chromatic aberrations. Many say it is easily correctable in PP though.

Canon 9d?

UPC Database: Item Record

Saw this on engadget that UPC symbol of Nikon D90 appeared but also this.

Should be an interesting few months.

Free is always good. I hated this lens though (when I tried on Nikon mount).

Wow, I just stumbled across a Canon 50mm F/1.0L lens.
Selling for 4200$.
Anyone ever use one?

LOL. You mean the used one at B&H?

The 1200mm at $100,000 or the nikon 300 f2 @ $10,000 are far more interesting.

It's funny that you say that, because I would be more interested in the 50 F/1.0.

Yea, I had to do a double take when I saw that too.
But, I guess they did make it.

Although I`m a Nikon guy (D80)... I must admit, I`ve taken a liking to the SD1100 is. Considering it as a gift for my fiance over the Nikon S550.

I think my next rental will be the Magic Canonball. Anyone here own it or shoot it?

Certainly most of us could use a shorter range more. I don't think 1.0 is worth the extra cost given how much cheaper the 1.2 is. You could nearly get 1DMKIII and 50 1.2 for the price of a 1.0 LOL.

Oh for sure. The price is sky high! I looked over at POTN and didn't even see a thread feating pictures from this lens. Must be real rare!

You could look on pbase for some pics taken by this lens but I have to warn you, most of them are sad photos. I'm talking ill exposed and not much creative use of f/1.0.

I go the Fuji yesterday. Unfortunately the class 6 SD card seems to be lost in transit, so right now I am using a generic SD card which is just plain SLOW. That aside, the S100FS is not a "light" camera by any means. On my calibrated shipping scale, the Fuji came in at 2 pounds 4 ounces, while the Canon Rebel & 24-105F4 "L" combo came at 3 pounds even - does not seem like a lot, but handling both you can certainly like the "lighter" camera. The weight on the Fuji seems to be concentrated on the "lens" portion.

I can't say much about shooter lag and shot-to-shot until I get a decent SD card, and I have not played much trying to tweak the Fuji's various controls/settings, but preliminary testing still shows the Canon slightly faster (which I think all of us expected). The built-in flash in the Canon is a little brighter for indoor shots - not much, but something to note. Macro on the Fuji is nice as well - a lot closer than I was able to achieve on the Canon combo.

So far I like the Fuji, but I need more time to really compare both. I will post pictures probably next week
