I'd try the 70-200 with the 2x first. With the 5DMKIII files you can crop a lot without loss in IQ.The 400/5.6 is the next best option without breaking the bank and your marriage..On a FF body the...

Here is what I use in the following order: -Rocket blower to blown off particles and dust - the brush of the lens pen ( I use it only for lenses nothing else) - Eclipse fluid with lint free peck...

You can speak up no one takes the freedom of speech away from you. The bottom line is that the picture of the Xmas tree taken with a macro lens it is indeed rubbish. Why beating around the bush...

are you the OP's big brother? I suggest you mind your own threads and leave your feedback to the OP's images. ..and if you have an issue with me send me an email instead of involving the forum...

it's a great lens but why do you post rubbish shots like those? Take your time and and post something decent...

yes the difference between the 7D and the 1D series:)

Thanks for the info. Would you mind sharing the information about the 2 shops in Dubai? You can send me an email via dpreview. I am in Dubai on business at the end of January and the price is very...

nothing special as a landscape. Subject is uninteresting and the buildings on the left overexposed. Also why are you using f5?

First I was tempted to go out and shoot a few images to test the bokeh but then I looked into my 'archives' and found...

400/2.8L IS.

Ahh, the noise in the dark area of the background at 400....

Simple answer; go to a shop and compare the two. Then you will understand...

PK, Santa heard from you and the Think Tank Modular set and the Pro Speed Belt was ordered today. :) I watched the Lowepro vest + belt system video but I decided on the TT as all the photographers...
