EF 200mm f/2L IS

[Ketch Rossi]

This lens absolutely rocks, sorry I can't show any of the girls pics, NDA.

but I can at list show the one I tucked out of my house window, in this rainy day of California.

This lens is as sharp as it can get, I have seen this kind of sharpness only on MP's, and yeah, for Evin sake, on the Nikon 14-24 Zoom.

The pic of the Angel, is just to show the Bokeh, not for sharpness purpose, will post some gilrs photos for the skin tones and the eye detail after the holidays.

Both the Canon EF 200mm f1.8L and 200mm f2 Nikkor are legendary optics.
Many of the Nikkors have been converted to PL and can be rented at Clairmont, Keslow and TCH. If you really want a mind blower Ketch check out the 300mm f2 Nikkor!

This one was converted to PL and painted white, just like your Canon Ketch.
Here's one on e-bay that didn't quite sell.

I think you should incorporate landscapes and ladies into one shot. Its the best of both worlds.

Always do, but not always I can show them, but that is changing as I have now stopped taking assignments ,and gone completely freelance, and for my own company, so much more freedom.

How does the image stabilization and the Red work together?

Is it like a Stadicam light?

 

[Ketch Rossi]

NO one can't tell till the Birger is actually tested with it>

The Image stabilization will never working like stadicam. in fact, the stadicam will not working with IS ability. You have to keep IS off, when using stadicam.

 

[Martin Weiss]

Well, let me re-phrase that question. Is the IS function at all usable on a motion camera (i.e. does it take away the worst bumps in handheld / car-mounted / helicopter shoots)?

 

[Ketch Rossi]

Well,

retention of the IS function should be absolutely no issue, if and when all electronic contacts are maintained, as it should be with the Birger mount, so yes I would speculate at this time that it would work just fine.

As far as IS been operational in Motion Picture as well as it is for Still Pictures, YES, that is already been employed by more then one manufacture with current video cameras.
