STONEYBATTER – PRUSSIA STREET AND MANOR STREET
The northern end of Stoneybatter derives its name of Manor Street, bestowed in 1780, from the Manor of Grangegorman in which it was located. During the reign of Charles II (1660-1680), the Manor was held by Sir Thomas Stanley, a knight of Henry Cromwell and a staunch supporter of the Restoration. The short thoroughfare in Stoneybatter called Stanley Street is named after him.
TODAY I USED A SIGMA 24-105 LENS ON AN OLD CANON IDs MkIII BODY – GRANGEGORMAN UNIVERSITY CAMPUS
Before Christmas I got the opportunity to purchase an unboxed Sony 24-105G lens but when I visited the dealer he suggested that, as I had a Canon 1DsIII as well as a Sony A7RIV [and a Metabones EF adapter], I should consider getting a Sigma 24-105mm lens.
After giving the matter some thought I decided to go with the Sigma but for various reasons I was unable to fully test the various combinations until today. Before I begin to travel I need to decide what equipment to use and I want to travel light and limit myself to two bodies and two or three lens. I have decided that I will use the Sigma 24-105 on the Sony A7RIV, I have yet to decide what other lens to bring. I have decided that the Canon 1DsIII is way too heavy especially when paired with the Sigma 24-105.
Released in December 2007, the EOS-1Ds Mark III was the third and last of the Canon 1Ds full-frame line. When it was released, it held the title of the highest resolution full frame (35mm) dSLR, with a 21 megapixel CMOS sensor.
Compared to the Mark II, the Mark III added several new features, such as integrated sensor cleaning, Live View (an electronic viewfinder mode) and a larger 3.0″ primary colour LCD.
The EOS-1Ds line was discontinued in mid-2012 with the introduction of the EOS-1D X, a full-frame body which merged the previous EOS-1D line of high-speed professional bodies with the EOS-1Ds line.
