I normally insist on only Canon, but recently got the DXII version of this lens(my first wide) and really like it. It is VERY sharp wide open, one thing odd I noticed w/my copy is @ 24mm noticeably...

Exactly how persistent were you Andrew, or did you take the word from some lower staff that doesn't know a SureShot from a 7D? My 7D failed after being exposed to some rain, in a rainforest in N...

Great shots of some gorgeous birds! Whereabouts? I've never gotten either here in FL. That lens has been on the wish list too long now. I get great results w/the 70-200/f4 IS +1.4X II, but the...

The Nikon 7100 is incapable of doing what I use & bought my 7D for in the first place. 3 years later, Nikon still hasn't built an equal to the 7D. It also is a Nikon, which has a much less...

Funny how these threads can become pointed & opinionated(instead of based on fact or personal experience w/the issue). @Austin_Luker the reason I asked is to see if other owners have ever had the...

This am while shooting an Ultralight that crashed into the lake I live on, I went to adjust the LCD brightness and it refused to let you move from Auto to Manual & adjust. THEN, LCD went blank....

Always sensor cleaning talk but what about just using the Dust Delete Data software function of some of the newer Canons? I've never had a need for it on my 2+ yr old 7D, but still update the data...

I recently got this lens, and it is very sharp(lab tests prove it is a bit sharper than the Canon 10-22). Supposedly CA is worse, but I've not seen it yet. At 12mm stopped down to f8, all the way...

Just wanted to add in my personal experience, for those under the illusion buying OEM Canon batteries offers complete peace of mind. Not so fast....I have (4)Canon LP-E6 for my 7D. One of them...

Ultimitsu, your solution is the simplest and the best?While many photographers seem to like using the AF-ON button for AF, most don't use the shutter button for AE-LOCK with good reason. Except in...

WOW - thanks so very much for all these helpful suggestions!!! It's given me plenty to get busy & start learning.Lightroom sure has ALOT of capability. It definitely caters to impressive...

I just had a generous friend I sometimes shoot with give me a new copy of LR4 this wk(!), and wondered if some of my Canon friends here would mind making any recommendations as to the best way to...

Sorry, if you're the original owner I'm confused why you were charged under warranty without accidental damage...Mark

Yes i did recall after typing most of my post(i'm stuck on a phone as my laptop is down) that you mentioned Expansion pt. I personally haven't found that making a very big difference(for my...

Following a target coming directly at the camera pushes any camera's AF to the highest challenge.Tha., why on a flat, low contrast day would you shoot an already challenging subject with a single...

GORGEOUS shots - very envious!Lots of active Barred Owls this mild winter we're having here in FL so far, but very hard to catch 'em in an open sky w/the thick forest here where I live.Couple...

Changing cameras to a very unfamilar user interface is already a big leap, doing so merely on what's been read with no "interest" to even handle it first sounds very risky. Sure sounds like the...

As one poster suggested, rent first. Or at least give the D600 a thorough try out in-store. My friend I often shoot with is very pro-Nikon, and once i set down my 7D and tried out her 300S w/70-200...

This is a good review site where you can compare the Tokina DX & DXII, & other lens choiceshttp://www.lenstip.com/index.php?test=obiektywu&test_ob=252

Here's an update on my brief use of the Tokina 12-24 DXII on my 7D ("brief" as I've not tested it with a wide subject variety just yet - in particular the AF)...So far, I'm very impressed. It's a...
