Some of the other advantages of 5DIII are focusing/tracking, low light performance, 100% view finder, dual card slots, customization.  There is also something about the color that I like more.  I...

That's a pretty slow card...you should get something that transfers at 90mb/s, which ought to do the trick.  That, or tell you that something may be amiss.Best,

I agree with Dan that the 24-105L is a fine lens - it's on my 5D3 quite a bit.However, on a crop camera some of its problems at the wide end are eliminated, making it appealing to some crop camera...

I would bring the 24-105 if I wanted a single lens solution.  But for more flexibility and not too much bulk I might go with the 17-40 and the 70-200, with the 50 1.4 to fill the gap and and have...

It's too late at night to respond to everything you've written.  I will say that agree that advice always to over expose by 1 EV may not be the best advice....unless the caveat is that one should...

I think that the confusion is in that the equivalence is, in part, for people whose reference is to film and full frame.  For some people moving from film to APS-C, the conversion helps them to...

sorry for any confusion....

Apologies, I didn't read the thread thoroughly.  The kind of thing that I groused a little about happens frequently, and can dilute/distract from the poster's intentions and subsequent discussion...

Huh? San Francisco can be beautiful anytime of year. Our "summer" is usually Sept-Oct. The fog can be lovely, and can be annoying.Having grown up on the East Coast, I will never get past the...

You most definitely don't want to stay in Pleasant Hill....As others have said, find a place in the city itself. You could easily spend 4-5 days in S.F. - if you like museums, theater,music etc. ...
