  • Replied in Montana, Moon
    Bison, elk, mountains and meadow with the 7D and 17-40L: http://camerablognetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/sunrisemeadow2.jpg Moon shot from the night of Feb 8 2012 using 7D, 300 L F4...

  • Replied in Pixel Peeping
    Good point. Obviously, in-body IS is the future. Canon seems confused about it, as well. They offer IS in two new 20mm primes, but fail to put it into a walkaround lens that goes to 70mm. It tells...
  • Replied in As weird as the new 24 & 28mm IS are...
    People are griping because of the price, and because of the slowness of the primes. For $800, these lenses needed to be at least F/2. Yes, Canon did it right by updating their EF primes and...
  • Replied in Blunder
    You can't charge $2300 for a walkaround lens without IS in 2012. Bad move by Canon. Tamron and Sigma will fill the gap. -- Grizzly bears of Glacier National...
  • Replied in Lenses for Photographing Yellowstone
    What you have is fine for Yellowstone. Much of Yellowstone is meadow with lodgepole pine, which is terrible for ultra wide compositions. You only need an ultra wide angle for Yellowstone if you do...
  • Replied in how wide is ultra-wide?
    The difference between 12mm and 10mm is enormous. -- Grizzly bears of Glacier National Park http://www.parkcamper.com/Glacier-National-Park/Glacier-grizzly-bears.htm
  • Replied in how wide is ultra-wide?
    I own the 10-20, and it's very good. I've been looking at the 8-16, but it doesn't take filters, which really stinks. -- Grizzly bears of Glacier National...
  • Replied in Sigma or Tokina?
    10mm is much wider than 12mm. If you're going to go wide, go wide. -- Grizzly bears of Glacier National Park http://www.parkcamper.com/Glacier-National-Park/Glacier-grizzly-bears.htm
  • Replied in Is Canon adrift?
    Yes. -- Grizzly bears of Glacier National Park http://www.parkcamper.com/Glacier-National-Park/Glacier-grizzly-bears.htm
  • Replied in New 24-70mm II has some AMAZING MTF charts!
    Only a moron thinks he's above physics. -- Grizzly bears of Glacier National Park http://www.parkcamper.com/Glacier-National-Park/Glacier-grizzly-bears.htm
  • Replied in New 24-70mm II has some AMAZING MTF charts!
    Too bad it will be negated by hand shake. -- Grizzly bears of Glacier National Park http://www.parkcamper.com/Glacier-National-Park/Glacier-grizzly-bears.htm
  • Replied in new lens pricing
    lol! -- Grizzly bears of Glacier National Park http://www.parkcamper.com/Glacier-National-Park/Glacier-grizzly-bears.htm
  • Replied in A few from Monterey CA
    I feel like I'm there. Nice work. -- Grizzly bears of Glacier National Park http://www.parkcamper.com/Glacier-National-Park/Glacier-grizzly-bears.htm
  • Replied in Evening light
    Nice shot. I like the reddish tint to the trees from the sunset. There's great detail in the range, too that you can get lost in. -- Grizzly bears of Glacier National...
  • Replied in Meanderings at dusk
    The third one does it for me. Great shot. Overall though the images are pleasing. -- Grizzly bears of Glacier National...
  • Replied in Valley of Fire - a bit different
    Very nice. Lots of twist and color. -- Grizzly bears of Glacier National Park http://www.parkcamper.com/Glacier-National-Park/Glacier-grizzly-bears.htm
  • Replied in Is it true once you go prime you can't go back to zooms?
    Yep. Agreed. -- Grizzly bears of Glacier National Park http://www.parkcamper.com/Glacier-National-Park/Glacier-grizzly-bears.htm
  • Replied in UWA Prime Lens to complement Canons 15-85
    I wouldn't sell the 10-20 for a 15-85. There's a huge difference between 10mm and 15mm. You're better off picking up a 30mm or 50mm along with the 10-20 for a nice one-two punch. -- Grizzly...
  • Replied in Is it true once you go prime you can't go back to zooms?
    My best landscapes come from surprise moments in poor weather and lighting--the exact opposite of situations you can plan and take time in. It's pretty much shoot and run or suffer. Sure, you...
