I remember a discussion from about 10 years ago, stating that these motors are rated for about 2000 hours of use. This may look short but focussing takes mostly a second at most. You can do the...

I could be wrong but AFAIK it's back to full manual with Nikon lenses on Canon bodies. No AF, no auto aperture so I'm afraid you're out of luck. I don't know of any electrical coupling between the...

Sorry, I read 6D in the original post, that's a bit of a change. 28-135IS is a bit long on a cropped body. Have a look at a 17-85 (it's not as bad as it's reputation) or a 15-85. The latter 2nd...

I'm sure others will chime in with offerings from Tamron/Sigma/Tokina. Canon's EF 28-135 IS is probably within your budget, as are several 24, 28, 35, 85 and 100 mm lenses. Or try getting a 24-105...

The general rule for shooting pictures of the moon is: f/11 with a shutter speed of 1/ISO, so 1/90 or 1/125 sec at ISO 100.

I'm not 100% sure that I understand your question. The 28-138 shows some zoom creep, that's normal with this lens but it works opposite to your description: When you zoom in to 28 mm and point the...

the 410 is my standard tripod head but if I were to buy one again I'd go for the 405. The 410 has some slack in its movement if you go forth and back, or in my case, left and right. Nothng to worry...

Been there some time ago (2005), at that time with a 10D + 100-400. With your gear I would not hesitate and take the 7D + 100-400 lens as your main kit, 5D + 24-105 for landscape pictures, people,...

Forget the camera display for accurately judging the color of a picture, they are not made for that purpose and as far as I know there is no way to calibrate them.

In fact the Canon cameras (others too) have a screen protector built-in but replacing one is a bit of a hassle. I use screen protectors for smartphones/PDA, cut to size on most of my equipment and...

40D is one generation newer than 5D, so there is not much difference between the two. Full frame is an upgrade indeed wrt sensor size. Keep in mind that the mirror can fall out on a 5D. It is still...

Short answer: yes. Do you mean the film APS cameras or the cropped sensor digital cameras like EOS 600D/60D/7D etc? Not that it matters too much, the EF lenses like a 35 f/2.0 will fit all EOS...

I'm still using them every now and then. My main body is a 5D and when that failed (mirror came loose) during the 3rd day of a far away trip I was glad to have the 10D as a replacement. Lately I...

Hi Zambie,In fact I have been in Darjeeling twice, first in 1985 on the way to Bhutan and in 2000 for a trip to Sikkim. It's a nice coincidence, last weekend a friend of mine who is preparing for a...

Nice pictures Zambie. They remind me of my visits to Darjeeling and the surrounding area. Thanks for sharing.

Have a look at the Triggertrap: https://triggertrap.com/ and look for the mobile device. It uses an Android or iOS smartphone or tablet.

several possibilities, Zigview, Pro-view. Nowadays most of these devices connect to the HDMI connector. check Swivi as well.

Rob Galbraith has/had a text on this on his website. Advise was to buy an el cheapo adapter card since these are mostly plastic instead of metal.

It would help if you could mention the camera and flash model, and what you mean by "A" mode. Is this the green square setting or did you mean Av?In Tv/Av Canon E-TTL acts as fill flash but in the...

Please state the relationship with Canon. Is it something like "both make cameras"?
