| | 70-300 DO IS Canon | 70-300 mm DO IS Canon
Data points for evaluating this Canon Lens
EXIF data is attached to at least one version of each image
LARGE images are un-touched after Adobe Camera Raw "auto-ed" them;
they are changed to 8-bit and Saved-As at Photoshop 6 (six) quality
One (ivykitschzeroed) is from original raw with all ACR controls zeroed ( ! )
I think this shows the lens is a pretty good all-rounder, if overpriced.
It's definitely more wieldy than its non-DO equivalents
These images are from a Canon 5D;
several from this lens (and others) on a 20D are at

All images treated the same, cropped and 'shopped to suit my standard uses,
which you are looking at: computer display of reasonable detail and appealing color.
Images are in random order; that is, no relation among content, lens, or time of day,
"names" are for identification only.
There is a small number of "ringers", images from

I don't remember which program's "reverse" function I used, but there was no effort at color correction: once I saw the content and quality I gave it up as a bad job, just as I had in using the camera a third of a century ago, |

Don't let the available print sizes fool you: it takes more than
200 pixels per inch to make a good print, ideally 300 ppi. The
long sides of these images are 1028 pixels, so figure about five
inches long-side would be OK, but not great.
Many of these are reduced from originals that will print well at
8x12 or 8x10. If you have a choice, send me an email and I'll try
to get a suitable size posted on another album, so you can order
a decent big one.

It looks to me as if these are the "out-takes" or rejects; surely there were better images in the box of slides. These are the ones that remained, and which were given to me by a man who found them when an administrative installation was dismantled and replaced. They were in the trash, so he reckoned, rightly I believe, they were his. I sent the originals to the Department PR folks several years ago.
The original images are quite large, so a click on the thumbnail will yield a large version, and a second click will expand it even farther. |

| | MUFFLER Sounds | Noise from three Mustang V6 configurations
Original recordings .MOV files from Panasonic LUMIX LX1
were pretty big (100+MB) so QuickTime reduced them, and transformed one to .AVI
The camera (and microphone) were in the exact same
location for all recordings: I neglected to zoom in for the
"OPEN" segment. If the visual bothers your hearing,
close your eyes ...
Fototime offer an option to translate and play in their video format, or to download status quo (16-20MB)
Three short videos stacked end-to-end, juSt a few seconds long.
The MP4 file (fourth in order) is manipulated so you can hear repeats without mousing.
ALL THREE FILES CONTAIN THE SAME MATERIAL
First is the standard V6 exhaust (sounds pretty good to me)
Second is the Ford Racing Products GT muffler (right side) (duh)
I was worried that it might be too loud, but it seems to me to be
about the same as the standard one, but with a lower tone and less of a "lisp",
although that may be an artifact of recording level compression;
a road test seemed to confirm my impression.
Third is open exhaust from the muffler connection; not a long clip,
since the loudness startled me. I think it sounds best of all ...
I'm delighted with the FRPP and believe it has the best single muffled V6 sound
I've heard (can you say "cognitive dissonance"? Not!)
I trimmed the fun part: at the beginning of the FRPP segment,
starting the engine blew a fistful of styrofoam packing "peanuts"
all over the driveway! |
