Wide angle snow opportunities?

Originally posted by Shane View PostCasey, is ISO 6400 (for example) the same at f/2.8 with the same lens as it would be on a 7D, as far as exposure levels go? I know there would be less noise, but do the histograms still look the same?
If you're selective in your shots, I bet 200mm on a football field at f2.8 ISO6400 will surprise you with the full frame. I don't find the difference in crop to be so limiting. I still have my 7D and it is covered in dust because I've learned to follow the action, get in better position and be more selective in my shots. I just love the full frame.
Here is an ISO 12800 (yes, 12800) image taken at f2.8 for 1/640 second on the 5DIII. It was cleaned up in lightroom. I assure you the lights at a public soccer field are no better than those at a small football stadium.
Again, maybe the TC isn't the answer, but I promise you the high ISO performance coupled with crop capabilities and a better sensor should not be ignored.

Very nice, Casey! I will definitely be getting that camera eventually. Lack of noise is amazing. Zach just has one more year of football though. I would need f/2.8 and at least 300mm if I went to full frame. That would get expensive, especially for just 1 season. If Zach was your son's age it would be well worth the investment for me.
My 70-200 works with the crop sensor 7D, and the high ISO shots are decent. Here's one at ISO 12800, f/2.8, and 1/500. A little more noise than the full frame, but I can live with it for one more season.
When we're at a field with enough light for ISO 6400, it helps a bunch. This one is ISO 6400, f/2.8 and 1/500.

I live in "bad light". Consequently this rig is fun.
This is f2.8 and 3200 ISO. It's hard to get my mind around 6400 but I guess I'll test that at some point. Our soccer season starts soon but we don't play under lights.
I cropped this one just a little to remove a door frame I didn't like so it's not as wide open as others.

I pulled this thread up again a few weeks ago and started getting the itch for an Ultra wide angle lens again. 24mm was the widest I have and have been wanting something in the 14-16mm range.
After looking over more of Legdogs pics with the Tammy I decided it needed to be in the bag...brown truck dropped it off today and so far I am blown away. Third party lenses are a gamble sometimes but Tamron really nailed it with this one. With the VC turned on i was comfortable taking shots down to 1/2 sec shutter speed hand held inside the house that were sharp.
Need to play around with it some more but so far it is extremely comparable to the 14-24 Nikon and even surpasses it in some aspects. That is saying a lot!

I still use it all the time.

it's pretty good at long exposure too... 220 seconds here.

Fun to shoot a whole room.

Great pics Steven. So far I have only taken the obligatory new lens unboxing cat pictures and have been impressed with it on the D810. I needed something much wider for inside the duck blind and walking around travel lens and this fits the bill nicely. Never though I needed VR/VC on a wide angle but for handholding in low light this thing works great. Wish I would have had it when I was inside the churches and cathedrals in Barcelona.
