So, whatever cameras you use, how many of the modes and functions do you use on a regular basis?

99% of equipment outperforms 99% of photographers.Discuss.

This has been noted quite some while back, but be aware that they do say it is a work in progress and I have heard that there have been reports that some lenses have been found to have been...

I always used to install Radeon graphics in the PC's I built - my own included.But now I've changed over to Nvidia cards because Photoshop uses the Nvidia GPU and memory much more efficiently for...

If you need excellent personal service then The Flash Centre (Leeds) are very good, but perhaps as a Pro Canon dealer not as cheap as online shopping, but you do get the backup.

I remember reading the Amateur Photographer review of the 135/2L back in 1996 when it was first introduced and the report concluded by saying something like, " the sharpest lens we have tested so...

At least the 135/2L should AF correctly - either new or s/h.

I DO love cats, but get on pretty well with dogs as well..........Lovely image of Cedar, but I especially like your Chicago in Snow!

Wouldn't it be better to expose correctly in RAW and then process to get the look, thus keeping noise out of the shadows?Nice images though.Merry Christmas.

I think you may find that the latest bodies still 'see' the Extender/converter if you tape the lens pins.Taping the Extender/converter pins makes it invisible to the body but even taping some of...

If you had read the manual fully in the first place you would have known about this.

My thoughts exactly.Save the money and keep your graphics card drivers and monitor profiling up to date.

If this is a first series 400/2.8L, without IS, then once the AF motor fails you lose both AF and MF as manual focus is done through the motor (sort of fly-by-wire) and there is no mechanical...

The shutter is only part of the story and only part of the mirror box assembly..The mirror box is the 'heart' of a camera and it is there that the total number of camera actuations is stored.If...

They only accept payment by wire transfer, no cards or paypal!That says a lot.

Focus stacking is OK if there is no subject movement at all and you never need to use shift as well.

Why don't you question the DxOMark conclusion?Just because they are the only people doing this type of sensor evaluation and putting the information out to the world doesn't mean that they are...

It was, read the OP's last post.
