Actually mine is a 'sidekick' style too - http://www.lensmaster.co.uk/rh1.htm - I don't know if there's a better generic name than "gimbal head". According to the page I linked to above,...

!!!!!!!

Yep, I'll be replacing my foot partly for the same reason, and also because it means I don't need to add an additional plate when I want to use a gimbal head or my travel tripod. The Kirk foot...

I only have the 300, but the answer must be yes because the same Jobu replacement foot fits both lenses.

No, the bill is completely wrong.

That's not a goldfinch. Greenfinch I believe.

Yep. Not significantly. Almost all the reduction happened in the period up to 18 months ago, with only another £50-£60 in the last year. Did you look at the link I posted?

That figure of 58% is totally misleading. Only the most impatient (and foolish) of early adopters paid £1699 - I paid about £1200 for mine only a few weeks after launch. And the drift down to...

Whooopsy - the graphic at the top calls this the 18-35mm f/1.8 DG. Should be DC of course.

It's a moving part, so it has to have some susceptibility to damage I guess, but when an image stabiliser stops it "parks" which locks it in place. My guess would be that the only measurable risk -...

... which I've also seen on more than one occasion in this forum :-)

Boy that is challenging to read - how on earth did you manage that?? The way to look at this is very simple. The 6D is a lower tier body than the 7D in almost every way apart from the one crucial...

This is not helpful advice to a beginner. If you need f/11 or even f/16 to get enough depth of field, use it. You will still have less depth of field (and less diffraction, FWIW) than with a...

It doesn't look grainy to me, it just looks soft. Soft images always look noisier because the eye goes looking for fine detail and when there isn't any it fixes on the noise. And surprisingly for...

I think atmospheric disturbance plays a large part in the problems shown in the first image. That's why it gets noticeably worse as the distance increases. The second one is not so bad. In addition...

That makes no sense to me. You weren't prepared to pay the slightly higher price of the 7D compared with the more run-of-the-mill 50D successor you expected, but instead you went for the cost and...

If it doesn't have to be an iPad then it's easy, use a Windows laptop and run Canon's Remote capture, or use an Android tablet with DSLR Controller or Helicon Remote. What do you mean by "REALLY"...

Sigma UK have rather unhelpfully replaced their entire web site, breaking the link to the 'old version' block diagram. Here it is again: While writing - I see early reviews of the new version...

So do you know what the Helicon Remote web site means when it claims support for iOS? See http://www.heliconsoft.com/heliconfocus.html , bottom of the page. I'm using Windows and Android, and I've...
