Lens field of view comparisons

Lens comparisons, is a set on Flickr.

This is a quick test I did this afternoon to compare the field of view with each of the different lens I use.
The sun dipped behind some clouds at one point so don't take this too seriously for colour etc.

The photos are available at the original resolution on flickr if you wanted to look in more detail.

All photos were taken with these settings

iso 100
shutter speed 1/50
f14

Only the focal length was varied.

I aimed to keep focus on Art-bear-funkel (the bear... thats his name)

Camera was a Canon 550D (T2i to Americans, Kiss X4 to people in Asia)

Lens used were -

Canon EF 50mm f1.8 II
Tokina SD 11-16 f2.8 (IF) DX
Sigma EX 30mm f1.4
Canon EF-S 18-55 Zoom Lens f3.5-5.6  IS


I also stuck a cheap wide angle adaptor on the canon 50mm prime just to see : )

During these tests I shot some video for each lens/setting and also conducted the same tests with and ND fader to observe DOF variations. These will all be up soon...
In the meantime please leave any questions or comments below.

Alongside the video examples in the clip above here are some photos taken with the filter on a Sigma 30mm f1.4 lens and Canon 550D so you can judge if anything untoward is happening because of the filter.
