best canon 24mm lens image
Jarrah G
i am looking at buying a tamron 10-24mm lens that is designed for a APS-C camera. so my question is, if i eventually upgrade a full frame 35mm camera (eg the cannon eos 5d) can i still use it, or will it have extreme vignetting.
thanks
Answer
The Tamron 10-24 isn't the worlds greatest lens, and you have hit on the DSLR dilemma, throw your lot in with cropped sensor or plan for a full frame future?
I had a brilliant sigma 10-20 (EF mount but DC -not full frame) which I sold for a sigma 12-24 (EF mount DG, full or cropped sensor) in anticipation of getting a 5D2.
Then canon launched the (in many ways superior) 7D (which I bought)
So I've now sold the 12-24, putting the cash towards a tokina 11-16, which I will sell if I go full frame in 2 years time. Kinda wish I'd kept the 10-20.
With third party lenses, they use the EF mount not the EF-s lens mount, so they will mount on a 5D, and should operate normally apart from the vignetting.
With a zoom lens this will dissapear after a certain focal length anyway.
A canon UWA such as the 10-22 will not mount on a full frame, and even if the mount is removed and adjusted to fit full frame, the rear element can still rattle off the mirror.
Upshot, from my experience. Buy lenses for what you shoot on now. Avoid the tamron, its a pig (www.photozone.de canon APS-C reviews) there are enough APS-C users for a used value later.
Don;t buy a full frame lens (the only UWA is the 12-24 sigma which has filtering dilemmas and is slow, and only equivalent to 20mm on your cropped sensor canon.

What is the best Canon L lense to use for panoramic scenic shots?
gillamacs
I like taking shots of scenery and landscapes. What type of mm lense should I use? Would a wide angle 17mm lense be good or will a 24mm lense do just fine? Does having a 2.8 aperture improve the landscape picture? or is a 4.0 aperture just as good when taking scenic shots using a tripod at night.
Answer
If you are using a DSLR, lens does not matter, you can make a panoramic picture using a basic digital software, i.e. Photoshop Elements. If you are using a 35mm SLR, A standard 50mm lens will do fine, too much more and you may get vignetting if you use filters of any kind.
As for scenic shots, make sure you use aperture priority mode (Av). The "stops" are designated as Fx.y. The larger the number, the greater the "depth of field". When you have a greater depth of field, that means everything is in focus, not just the center of the photo. For example, use a tripod and use the F16 setting, don't worry about your shutter speed. Hope this helps. Good luck!
