noriravi says "Perfect travel lens with very nice zoom range" about Canon - EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 IS USM Lens

One of the most conterversial lenses offered by Canon. I have owned three copies of this lens over the period of 5 years and each of them performed perfectly. Producing sharp image even wide open. I have test my current copy with the Canon EF 400mm f/5.6 L lens and the two lenses produced images that were similar in sharpness and contrast. I duely sold my 400mm prime lens.

This lens along with the 17-40 and 24-105 complete the entire zoom range required for any normal travel photography with out breaking your back and fits nicely into any medium sized camera bag.

noriravi says "Great travel lens for hiking and landscape photography" about Canon - EF 24-105 f/4 L IS

A relatively new offering from Canon, the Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS lens is a light weight high performance lens that works perfectly for light weight backpacking or hiking. With the built in IS I can get up to 3 stops of extra hand holdability. I have created very sharp images using this lens at 1/6th of a second exposure.

The lens works perfectly as a travel lens for me along with my 17-40 /f4 and 100-400 f/4.5-56 L IS lenses.

noriravi says "Works very well for landscape photography" about Canon - EF 17-40mm f/4L USM Lens

There is a lot of negative reviews about this lens on the internet. The lens performs very well for what I use it for, namely landscape photography. I have tested this lens against the more expensive offerings from Canon (16-35) and the 17-40 performs very well at f/8 and beyond.

If your primary use of the lens is for landscape photography I can stronly recommed this lens but if you are lookign to shoot wide open with this lens you will be better off with the 16-35.

noriravi says "One of the best canon lenses for the EOS body" about Canon - TS-E 90mm f/2.8

I hve owned this lens for over 5 years. This is one of the best canon lenses made for the EOS body. I use this for macro work and compressed landscape photography. It is a manual focus lens so works best with full frame camera.

I have used this lens with the 1.6 crop factor cameras but fousing was a pain. The lens is very sharp wide open....

noriravi says "Best camera for landscape and product photography" about Canon - EOS-5D Body Only Digital Camera

noriravi — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 18:25:12 GMT

This is the best camera I have owned to date. Started off with the canon EOS D60, which produced great pictures but its high ISO noise level was a drawback. The 20D was an improvement but lacked the punch that D60 images had. The 5D is in a class of its own, best picture quality and great high ISO performance....
