Any brand or type of filter can stick.Try a little graphite (pencil lead) on the threads. ground graphite is an ideal dry lubricant, and when I say a little, i mean a little, just on the threads.I...

That is a very blurry line, and extremely variable depending on whom you ask.If you want clean black and white criteria which cannot be argued, left to interpretation and leave hard feelings,...

I research when I am not shooting, not in place of it.I am don’t look for or research for anything in particular unless there is something I feel I need, based my daily experiences, not the buzz...

Alternatively sometimes you can crop the photo to eliminate the date. Whether cropping improves the picture or causes loss of desired content depends on the picture. --I started in the 50's - my...

Assuming the date-time stamps are correct in both cameras, when each was taken can be found in the EXIF. That will provide the order each shot was taken. However, I know of no software which uses...

I don’t have a copy of the lens having he problem, but have many others, EF and EF-S. All my lenses have the screw protruding in the same place as it it appears in the picture, probably to act as a...

I appreciate the senitment and advice and am aware what to do to protect myself in this situation. I can honestly say I am convered in this respect. I have lost nothing but Unique has lost the...

Posting here because this involved a lens I wanted to purchase.This is a word of caution to anyone contemplating ordering on-line from Unique Photo (New Jersey). Here is my experience which, after...

I would also like to hear what the Canon tech guy has to say about the camera's performance.I agree with others, based on my own limited experience, the description of the display sounds correct...

If your primary subject is stationary, that changes my earlier recommendation. I recommend the using the 55-250 lens for this situation. The moving train is secondary and its motion blur would be a...

Conventional wisdom is that 1/640 may be fast enough IS is not necessary for the “average” person and shot, for either lens. But this becomes very variable very quickly as circumstances change.You...

too late. --I started in the 50's - my first picture was taken with a Leica and hooked me for life. I no longer use my Leicas, but I am still taking pictures. Some things never change.

Oh goody. This is different.Someone wants to get other to speculate about how much more speculation there might be. ;-) --I started in the 50's - my first picture was taken with a Leica and hooked...

Although I remain unaffected, so far, I agree. The lens FW should be upgradable by the consumer. I am sure Canon would like to implement this too, if they can. Besides the inconvenience to the user...

Slapped the 70-200 mkII on the 7D to look for what you described because I hadn’t noticed that. Guess what – I still don’t see anything saying “AF” followed by anything.I tried turning AF on and...

Yes, it looks scratched. However, before you decide if you want to return it, try a light wet cleaning.I have a 100-400 lens I thought I scratched when I was putting the lens cap on quickly and...

For what its worth, it really depends on who's hands the camera is in which really makes it a pro, semi-pro or hobbiest camera. We tend to brand and categorize things, including cameras and just...

It might also be noted back-button AF alllows you to separate the action which triggers the camera's auto focusing from the button used to trigger capturing the shot (shutter button), moving the...

Take the shot into PS anad simply move teh plane in the front to the back... Duh ;-)We all have our challenges, at least I do, and it seems you do too.FWIW, I am not a fan of planes or air show,...

Most of the Canon bodies are designed to systematically disable AF when the effective aperture recognized by the camera is f:8 (or above f:5.6?). The camera doesn’t even attempt to achieve focus...
