Frustrated with a problematic 7D

Re: Agree not at all what FSB or FFB was (nt)

Yay for KMT?DP Review, and thanks very much Lyle for your 'bones 'n' braces' approach to the FFB issue.

Yes, I know all the arguments why one should not bother - too old, too worn, too ... whatever!

And yes they both succumbed to the FFB issue. Coming back to this work-around has brought both back to life.

MY 7D's are now almost ten years old, yes. They have idiosyncrasies and sometimes make me lust after others, but the colour rendition and atmosphere in a good high-res file produces images that make me feel good, and those I share them with more than happy to hang their 24x30 inch prints alongside images no more impressive that have been sourced from much more expensive kit.

So I will raise a glass to Canada. And make some more 7D images this week. (Even if my A77 cries foul!)

Cheers, and thanks again.
