Replied in 500 f/2.8
When Canon first introduced DO lenses (which were going to be light, very high performance, and much cheaper than fluorite long teles, yeah yeah) one of the development projects was to be a 500/2.8...

Replied in Canon EF 24-70 f/2.8L II
Zoom lock, perhaps.

Replied in sRGB or AdobeRGB
If, as I assume from the context, you are shooting in RAW, then the choice between sRGB and AdobeRGB when you are shooting simply sets a flag in the image file to tell DPP (or whatever else reads...

Replied in ring lite mr 14 EX or twin lite 24 EX
Resonses from users seem to be conspicuous by their absence, so perhaps the following comments will be helpful.
The MR-14EX and MT-24EX are logically identical two-head flashes (one head in...

Replied in A heavily processed version of the raw file here
Well spotted. It does indeed seem likely that playback/review works as on the 1DX.
The "paintbrush" button obviously has two functions during playback, one of which is direct print. It is not...

Replied in Lens Extender (Canon, Kenko) - The scoop
Good. We make progress.
You STILL haven't got your mind round it. The lens contains the electronics. THE EXTENDER (original, II) ONTAINS NO ELECTRONICS. The (Extender-enabled) lens tests what...

Replied in Lens Extender (Canon, Kenko) - The scoop
Believe it, it's a fact.
You really don't understand, do you? Taping breaks the contact between the extra pins on the Extender and those on the lens. It makes no difference which side you...

Replied in mr14 ring flash
No problem, but, as with any other Speedlite with HSS, don't heat the flash up too much by using it repeatedly over a short period.

Replied in Lens Extender (Canon, Kenko) - The scoop
Just for the record, here's how the original and Version II Extenders, and the Life Size Converter for the 50/2.5, report their presence to the lens.
They contain NO electronic logic...

Replied in Gitzo 1542T/Q3T + 135fL/Ext 1.4 Stability?
I have a GT1541T as my travel tripod; as far as I can tell it is almost identical to the GT1542T. I use it with a Gitzo G1177M mini-ball, which is a less expensive but probably less good option...

Replied in Focusing at f8
What is often ignored in discussion about the deletion of f/8 AF from the 1DX specification is that Canon bodies offering standard-precision AF at f/8 at the central AF point also offered...

Replied in Tethering a Tablet to the 5D mkII
Well, for starters you will presumably need not only USB but also an OS under which EOS Utility can run.

Replied in Another "which lenses for safari" thread
Although, come to think of it, a 60D or even perhaps 600D, would probably do the job as the body for the 24~105, but the 7D with the 100~400 is definitely the combination to use for the long end....

Replied in first macro lens
What others have said about macro zooms (although isn't there one genuine macro zoom for Nikon?).
The EF-S 60/2.8 is a little beyond your suggested limit of £250, but well worth it if you can...
-
Replied in Another "which lenses for safari" thread
Take your 7D, 10~22, 24~105 and add a second 7D body and a 100~400. Put the 100~400 on one body and the 24~105 on the other, and keep the 10~22 handy for landscape shots. The whole lot will go into...

Replied in Who uses a Canon 50 2.5 Macro?
Arc Form Drive, not micromotor

Replied in One more day until the 24-70 II & 35L II announcement.
Nearly right

Replied in Lens Peripheral Illumination Correction
As kb2zuz points out, in-camera correction applies only to JPEGS, but this does include the JPEG embedded in the RAW file. Only peripheral illumination correction is currently applied in-camera...

Replied in Using 50 2.5 Macro as a "normal" lens?
Using a non-macro lens for close-up/macro work is a clumsy business, with either extension tubes or close-up lenses, and if you are doing any significant amount of close-up/macro work then a proper...

Replied in FL Mount Lens Question
I used FL lenses with a Pellix and FTQL before moving on to an F-1 and FD lenses. Some FD lenses were essentially re-mounted FL designs. I think that may be true of the 50/1.4 (later FL version)....
