onOne Perfect Photo Suite vs elements 11

The suite does some nice things but it's not a replacement for Photoshop.
I use both CS6 and the OnOne suite.

Thanks, but I guess what I meant to ask is for a comparison of the features of elements 11 and the onOne suite. I'm not interested in buying the CS version as it has more and cost more than I'll ever use.

I am not wanting to buy both elements 11 and onOne if they both contain the same features.

onOne Perfect Photo Suite vs elements 11

I own Lightroom 4.4 and am very happy with it. I'm just now looking to add to this for my PP workflow. I was looking to add Elements 11 but came across onOne Perfect Photo Suite and saw where it does some of the things elements 11 does and a lot more.

Would I benefit more by just purchasing the onOne product for $50.00 more than I can purchase elements 11 for or would you still want both?

I don't have much experience with plugins for LR but see where it's the next step for enhancing my photography!

Sigma 150--500 or Canon 100-400

I've done my research and I'm down to these 2 lens. I know the sigma has some soft spots but this is my hobby not my livelihood. I just want to know how owners of these lens feel. I'm not looking for links for comparison.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Pappy

I just received my Canon 100-400 last week and these are only a few of my first shots with it. So I'm still getting the feel for it and I'm loving this lens. I have a 60D and went through the same decision process as you. I'm not sorry I made this one.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. Precise and easy!

I also have the EF 100-400mm f4.5-f5.6L USM IS lens. Take it out and shoot it. If you like the images then it's a good lens. BYW, I use it on a Canon 7D and a 5D MK II. This was taken with the 7D.

Nice photo.. I hope mine come out as good as yours!

I like this idea for testing as you are using a tripod, constant EV, distance and lighting. Not much room for a variable to be changed unless done on purpose or lighting coming through window changes but not likely. Thanks for your reply!

Thanks for the reply, but again I don't find this to be a true test for focus accuracy or constant sharpness as it leaves room for too many variables being implemented.

I tested my new Nikon kit 18-55 and 55-200 lenses because of so many warnings I read on this site about poor quality with focusing problems. I'm pretty sure I got the link from this site too. B/T/W the test was easy to do and my lenses tested fine. http://photographylife.com/how-to-quickly-test-your-dslr-for-autofocus-issues

Thank you for this reply. Now I agree with this test as it is a more reliable way for testing your camera and lens for focusing issues and is more inline with what my findings are on the web.

I was just curious how many folks on this forum actually tested a new lens before its return date from the seller expired and what your method was. So far it's been surprising to me.

I appreciate you showing this test, but I don't see it being a real test. You can't determine if it may have back or front focusing problems. It only test that you can zoom and see a blurry crop.

Again I don't mean to sound unappreciative of your comments, just that this isn't a valid test for a lens.

I have to admit I find it surprising that more extensive testing is not done or mentioned due to the high cost of lenses and lack of quality control with some manufacturers.

I would hate to find out a month from now that my focusing is off and it is not due to my misuse of my camera or lens.

It just seems to me that you would want to test your lens within the return period after purchase in case you get one that might have issues.

I find when researching lenses that a lot of people have mixed reviews on any given lens. I know these reviews are from the users perspective and it certainly can be due to incorrect use of the lens, but why chance not testing it upon receiving a new lens?

Mar 28, 2013 21:51:43 #

I'm going to receive my new Canon 100-400 lens tomorrow and was reading on how to properly test a lens for focus issues. I found the following two links:

http://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2010/11/how-to-test-a-lens

http://www.dphotojournal.com/focus-test-chart.pdf

I'm just wondering how many folks find issues with their NEW lens purchases while testing them? This seems pretty simple and thought for what a lens cost that every one would do this, but I don't see much when I search this forum.

BTW, I use a Canon 60D for what it's worth.

As I am also looking for something in this range then why wouldn't the canon 100-400 mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM work since it basically covers the range and has IS? I see no one has mentioned it but curious?
