Ron I have a serious question that needs answering.
Canon or Nikon?
I have a 7d btw.

Once you choose, hard to switch. I chose Canon. I have a 7D, and a 40D as a backup or secondary camera for now. Maybe one more next year. BUT - you need lenses. I have a Canon 17-55 2.8 IS Lens, and a Canon 70-200 2.8 IS Lens, as well as my favorite candid one, a Canon 28-135 simple Lens. Also, a Canon 1.4 50mm Lens. And then a Speedlite 580X... and then... well ...

Once you realize some of the lenses cost more than the camera... that is where it gets expensive...

Well.. will be using the camera again this Saturday in Culver City at the NPC Iron Games...

I am into photography in a big way. Have 2 X Canon 5DII, Canon 60D, Sony NEX7, Sigma DP3M with Foveon sensor. Lens from 8-15 to 500mmL.

For contests I sit in the middle or at the back with telephoto lenses.

Cool. For contests, I sit in the row right after the judges... hence, I don't need the telephoto lens, but get clearer pics with less noise.
Besides, I enjoy watching the bikini competitors a little closer than the middle or back row...

Unfortunately, I realized that after I bought my cameras. I have a 7D and a T2i. But cheap lenses: canon 50 1.8, Tamron 70-300. Flash is a yongnuo 468 ii. I'm "ok" with that for now because I can always rent some L glass but I do want to upgrade in the future.

I'm a total wannabe who really should get out and practice more.

sell the t2i and buy a used 70-200 f4L. Great lens for the price and its a L.

Ron.........start posting pics and results of the bikini/figure contests. No other site has decent coverage.

Honestly man, I like the fps on the 7D but the IQ imo is lesser than the t2i. It's weird because they both use the same sensor. I've read this complaint on several forums too so I don't think it's just me. Supposedly it relates to the anti-alias filter. I've read that because of this L glass is a must with the 7D.

nice lenses there.

take a shitty lens on a great camera (like a 5Dmark2) and you'll have shitty pics... put a nice lens on a shitty camera and you'll still have somewhat great pics.

ESFitness · « **Reply #165 on:** November 04, 2013, 10:45:05 PM »

There are a few exceptions(e.g. 50mm 1.8, 55-250 for outdoors) but yes that is certainly true.

I took probably the best photos of the competitors at the 80 Olympia. I sat in the middle of the Opera House at the row where we were at the level of their posing trunks. This view shows the physiques without the shooting up distortion. I got two covers that year.

no, your best body building photo. Even a shitty photo from iPhone can look good after lightroom. Just checked the photo and you've blurred the details and it looks very plasticy and tacky.

You do go to bodybuilding shows, right?

lol the 50mm 1.8 looks and feels like a toy and for the price you dont expect much but it is a great lens i even had it on my 5d2 that cost 25 times the lens

Those are cool shots. Just wondering if you've done anything related to bodybuilding in the last 25 years.
