Well, look at the photozone review of the Sony lens. It's optical properties are not that great, rather poor at f4. All points towards the Canon being even better than it's well regarded EF-S...

Well, the advantage there is clearly with cameras with viewfinder and phase detect AF, as you indicate yourself as well. Despite this obvious choice, you still waver, so it seems important to...

I think it's the original sloppy formulation. If one compares these Nikon D700 vs Nikon 1V1 shots,  http://www.luminescentphoto.com/blog/2012/03/07/nikon-1-for-macro-photography/ it's clear that at...

Even though the EOS-M has a much shorter flange distance, ALL mirror-less systems have a flange distance around 20mm (except Pentax Q), which is double the distance for UWAs (around 10mm), so you...

It could indeed be wrong info. The 24-70 doesn't have a inner barrel that moves back and forth while zooming within an outer barrel, unlike the 16-35, or the 10-22.  I don't see how a filter would...

Well, for head shots and point 2, shallow DOF, and not expensive, then the Canon 50mm f1.8 is a bargain. The Sony equivalent is more expensive, it seems - you also have to count the cost of the...

In addition to the different normal range (because of the crop factor), the ultrawide angle lenses for crop cameras are essentially only Crop.  So, there is no FF equivalent for the Canon EF-s...

As you point out, for uneven horizons, a soft is better. 2 and 3 stops seem to be the usual options. well, it looks like Lee is really making the holder for Schneider movie filters, so for the...

Steve sums it up quite nicely. If a filter, multicoated. And as mentioned, the Hoya HD series is hardened glass. As to the filter tests, most of them are at lenstip, the links are collected here at...

Let's hope so, the longer the wait is for the new sensor, the higher the expectations of magical new feats it has to deliver, so that in the end everybody is disappointed. (similar to the hype on...

Given that the T1i has served you well so far, perhaps it's worth considering whether you can wait perhaps one year, which is presumably when the follow-up to the 7D will finally come out. As...

check quickly, repairs have a warranty on it, which could be up to 6 months (depending on country I guess).

Sorry, that stinks. It's not just a question of a little filing?  But anyway, it looks like Canon made several different EW-63 versions, which should have been a warning flag, should have googled...

Youtube is the last place I'd go for a product review, usually 90 % of the time is wasted with useless information that I can read up faster in a text like dpreview.

Hmm I wouldn't buy a camera/lens that imprints text in the middle of my pictures... Also, the clouds are very fuzzy and not sharp at all... ;-)

6D??  that is NOT compatible with the 55-250 and the 15-85  (60D would be, but that's not a "healthy" jump past the Rebel).

Tx, maybe I add the info on horizontal, indeed it works for ND filters.

Quite right. That's why I said "does the new camera give you something the old one cannot?". With this I didn't mean features that you don't need, with this I meant features that add to your...

Oh, sorry then. It never occurred to me to try it sideways, as you say the gradient direction is wrong then.
