Do you like those? I think they are terrible. They might work if you are trying for an "old sailor" type look, but you can clearly see the enlarging of facial features you get because the i phone lens isn't long enough to do real portrait work and the filters that they used are way to gritty for most people to be satisfied with them.
Lighting is probably the key to portrait photography and while you can cobble together things to make it work with an iphone or Galaxy phone, life is far simpler with an ILC and external flash of some kind.
I think the place where camera phones do best is where you want a photo journalistic look and don't care if everything is in focus.

I know you're joking, but every one of those covers looks the same. The background is different in them, but they still have the same look and same lighting. They just look like snap shots to me in an average sort of way.

I hope the opening poster has answers that help him, even if we end up squabbling on his thread about relatively minor differences in lenses.

To be clear Photozone has only tested the lens on APS-C, not on full frame.

Generally speaking you get what you pay for when it comes to glass. 1000 dollar lenses usually perform better than 200 dollar lenses. Consumer glass is good enough when stopped down.
I would say that Canon has a lot wider selection of glass -- particularly when it comes to the really fast telephoto stuff and also when it comes to specialty lenses. Tough to make blanket statements though about Pentax or Canon glass. I am very pleased with the set of glass I own (which is all Pentax brand), but I am sure similar Canon lenses would do well, as well.

We are arguing in circles. I will add that the 60-250 is available new for 1206 on Amazon. The price of the Canon 70-200 f4 IS is 1099 there as well.

Regardless, it's nice to have one come with the lens,not? Also, comparing weights you probably should factor that in.

Does the Canon lens come with a tripod foot/collar? The Pentax one is removable if the weight is an issue, but my understanding is that if you want a tripod collar then you have to buy it separately which isn't cheap.
It isn't a big deal, I own the DFA *70-200 and it does have a collar which I removed when I got it and haven't put back on, but it is nice to have if you shoot from a tripod a lot.
