Thanks very much!!

Thanks Mark!!  I'm here in Ontario Canada, the Mergansers are just passing through, the Woodies are around longer...  I highly recommend the lens!  Because of it's nice light size, it actually gets...

Great day shooting yesterday!!  Sure love the warmer weather, and what it brings my way! Male Hooded Merganser  Male Hooded Merganser  Male Wood Duck  Male Wood Duck  Have a great Week!! Derek

A can't disagree that it is a bit excessive...  Humidity where I live is often an issue in the summer,    I live right next to a river and humidity always tends to hang 70%+ at times, perfect...

I use a large gun safe for my gear, equipped with 2 gun safe heating rods and some rechargeable desiccant packs...  I keep my humidity levels at the 40-55% range which is ideal...  You probably...

Dog's can be very tough because of their long snouts that is for sure...  Using a very narrow DOF and apertures below f4 one has to be careful where and how the focus will affect the image.  I got...

The 100mm 2.8L IS is a really nice lens too...  I highly recommend it!  It's also half the price of a new 24-70mm Mark II, and still a  bit cheaper than the new f4 version..

Thanks Keith!  Seems to work really nice on the 5D3...  Really is a heavy chunk of glass that is for sure!

Thanks...  I didn't do anything out of the ordinary for these shots, and yes they where all hand held using the center Auto focus point .  I wanted to see just how good the lens would be at quick...

Nice!  I shot a few images at f6.3 and my eyes started to bleed..  LOL!  I can only image f16!

Wildlife lens and 24-70mm really should not be used in the same sentence...  As others have said, it's simply just too short to be of any value to a wildlife shooter.  Why not spend the money on a...

For the last 3 years I have tried my best shooting with a Mark I 24-70mm 2.8L and I have to say 85% of the time I was never happy with the images..  So I sold it, and an old 40D body, a 100mm Macro...

Common issue on the 40/50D bodies...  Likely needs a new shutter button contact assembly..Derek

E2 was originally developed for SONY I believe for their tin-oxide coats on the anti-aliasing filter over the sensor..  They applied the same recommendation to Canon's Tin Oxide coated sensors... ...

Personally I think everyone needs to know how to do it themselves, (You obviously do) I'm not a fan of someone who has zero connection to the camera, past 5 minutes, touching the inside of my...

Depends on the one you have, but basically they are just just stuck on with two sided tape.  A careful heating with a hair dryer should help to remove it..  You will need something like a small...

Well all I have to say is you have to be careful with a statement like this..  Filters can have an affect on image quality...  Even good filters can affect your images..  I have seen it first hand...

It certainly is an awful price for that lens....  After having a crappy first version, I think I will pass on this one!  LOL!  My wording about waiting for the market to be flooded probably isn't...

Thanks Bill...  That is exactly what I was referring too!!  Could not have said it any better!Derek

My statement has nothing to do with wanting any discounts??  I have a problem with those jacking the price up and over Canon's MRSP by large amounts because the supply is low.  I have seen some...
