Brett_H I love the versatility of the 50mm and its weight considerations. That's why I haven't bothered with the heavier Sigma 50 Art. You just don't get enough more for the asking price and the weight gain. Here are some very low light shots with the 50mm 1.4 of the kids at Darling Harbour.
GeekKopi 50mm are great, light, versatile etc. great for a standard lens. Great to hear you enjoyed it FC. For me I believe I found my niche and that's ultra wide angles. It just works well with landscapes/seascapes.
Brett_H I think the pic above was at iso6400. It was very dark, certainly much darker than captured. That's great detail in the shadows GK! I will get a chance to shoot the 135 on the weekend with something other than students and kids.

Brett_H It's there to be seen mate. Pretty usable pic and the A3 print taken had no noticeable fringing or noise. Pretty impressive all said. Not D800 territory but wow close!

FreshCoffee2 Nice, and I really like the red berry photo. ************************ STOP PRESS Seeing as how there are a few Canon people looking in on and contributing in this thread, you might like to take a look here at this "Deal of the Day": http://www.dwidigitalcameras.com.au/astore/dod_b.aspx?utm_source=VerticalResponse&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=dod This is a very good/low price for an excellent allround/travel lens. Moderators, please feel free to dump this off if it offends 🙂
Brett_H That is a superb price! I have the Nikon equivalent and they are a brilliant focal length with the added bonus of stabilisation and not too much focus breathing for the videographers amongst us. The picture of the ship above was taken with this lens from a moving ferry in rough weather using the active stabilisation.

GeekKopi So we had some crazy tornado weather here in Melbourne his arvo but the skies cleared up at around 6pm. So off I went to capture the moments. All are singe exposures at iso100, f11, 11mm and various exposure times.

Also glad to see you're suffering the same dreadful image downsizing issues with fringing and pixilation. That's why I put my image on Flickr but it still isn't as zoomable and clean as here locally. 🙁 Great stuff GK! How are you uploading?? Your getting better clarity than anyone else and it's not fair!!!!

Brett_H Darn it... I hate tapatak! I also reckon the iPad down samples between the Nas and the photo cloud.

Brett_H In th new year my work is migrating me to a surface pro with photoshop so I may have some luck with 2016 uploads.
kbilleter Resizing is a bit of a dark art. Need to balance, sharpness, aliasing, moire, ringing, echoes, gamma, colour space... There is a great survey of techniques and pros and cons of different filters on the imagemagick.org/Usage pages.
