I think you guys all know that I'm currently on a downsize and "shift anything not being used" mission and I've been giving thought both to the Canon digital gear sitting underused and the EOS 3 and 1N.
I've been telling myself that both bodies will give me a chance to use these "digital" L lenses on 35mm but I've never got around to doing it so last weekend I pushed myself to grab the 1N.
Loaded with Agfa Vista which I like, I first grabbed the 16-35mm for a walkabout at nearby NT property Ickworth Park, and then on the Sunday took my f4 70-200 L IS USM on an MG rally. Dev & scan by Studio5, Thetford.
I realise now that subconsciously I was shooting with deep DoF in mind so there are no bokeh shots and the car rally shots feel very much like the output I'd get from the same lens on my digi 5DII. Do I like? Well yes but as I feared I felt uninvolved in the shot taking process and it was all rather clinical. I need to confront this a bit more and take some "bokeh" and "moody" shots before I can decide.
