24-105L distortion at 24mm can be fixed unless you shoot in very close distance. I have many 24-105L shots at 24mm can prove that it's not obvious at all. Sure 24-70L/4.0 IS is better. But it's...

Also depends on what clients? Vogue magazine or neighbor $10 per shot folks :-) I am wondering why someone cannot see the difference between 5D3 and 18mp APS-C but sudently can see difference...

I'd pickup option 1) 5D3 + 35 f/1.4L + 17-40 f/1.4L + Gitzo 1541T for the best IQ if I were you as you don't know when you will go back again. I carried three Canon F/4 trilogy zoom lenses, 15 FE...

I don't know how people use in the past.  But I read many if not most use pull meant to lift shadow in DPR forums.       I can use word lift instead :-) OK.  I'd use recover highlight and lift...

Wrong.  The DOF difference is almost none in this case.  Even F2.8 is enough most times on my FF bodies with 70-200L II and 24-70L/2.8. Your processed sample is not 100% cropped but reduced. Can...

From what I read, mark III TCs work better than earlier versions regardless of what lenses.  However the latest generation of lenses will take advantage of mark III TCs most.

100% cropped from that lions shot at ISO 400 and after pulled shadows. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3MrYp_nWjPGOGNUYlpmOURFVTA/edit?usp=sharing 100% cropped animal...

Sometime I forgot to move LOCK switch that resulted accidental unwanted EC that still bothers me. I will prefer to change the default (hope possible) that I need to use another top button together...

I will try to stack my Canon 1.4x TC III and 2.0x III with 70-200L II to see if any difference. I don't think Canon officially support F/8 AF with stacking TCs but only with one TC in their...

Regardless of this firmware update, I heard some successful story of using Kenko TC to AF at F8.

It seems OPer after 5 months has already upgraded to 5DIII that is the best solution. How you use flash in indoor sport BTW that usually is not allowed or impractical?

But it's much wider 24mm vs 28mm FF eq. 24-105L has less distortion at 28mm. Most distortion from 24-105L at 24mm can be fixed thru PP unless you shoot in very close distance as shown in my above...

Congrats. As others said 5DIII IQ is much superior. I did other way around.   I bought 60D to complement to my 5Dc and 1D3, and services as a backup camera of my 5D series cameras in trips. I may...

Yes.  Lensrentals just did a quick test said similarly. It's attractive that you save $810-1000.  But optical quality at F3.5 wide-open especially in edges/corners, build quality and operations (it...

Thank you.  I used the default Evaluative metering but with +2/3 EC this time.  I could use Partial metering mode that usually is my favorite to shoot in airshows for example as shown in the link...

I'd suggest you for 6D or 5D2 because of TS-E lenses.  5D1 still can generate excellent IQ in bargain price but lacking of LV and other advanced features.  LV is critical in using TS-E lenses for...

I give credit to schmegg who told me this.  My 60D still suffers from this issue and there is no such option.  I don't remember 5D1 and 5D2 have this issue.

If you also get EF-S 10-22 UWA which is an excellent optical quality lens that complements to 24-105L very well.  Some chose this option and very happy on it from what I heard.  Not sure from where...

I don't know as I don't own EF-S 10-22 UWA zoom. You can search to see if anyone has this issue. As I said my only vignetting issue is from polarizer filter in Z-Pro when I rotate the holder itself...

Yes it's sort of blue color such as this one from my own one from Singh-Ray rounded polarizer filter on Z-Pro holder when the holder rotates to specific degree (only at top left corner). No other...
