Excellent shots. I remember considering the Pro1 and being a bit intimidated by it.  I instead bought the G6 which served me very well.  While no regrets, in retrospect I'm sure I would have done ...

I was squarely in the won't-use-a-touch-screen camp for years but finally started using it when macro shooting with my 80D.  It increases the hit rate, though I admit sometimes having a third hand ...

Canon succeeded with me, kicking me all the way up to the 80D and a collection of lenses.  While I'm curious to follow developments, I'm not really looking back.

Choosing one is tough for me. (1) S20 introduced me to digital photography. (2) G6 started getting more serious. Still use it occasionally. Love its f/2 lens.

Be careful to avoid contact with the subject.  A hood may help prevent that.

Did Canon have to pay Polaroid to use the name SX70? I had (actually still do) an SX40 that served me very well. I upgraded to a DSLR (still Canon) to get better autofocus and low-light results. ...

I like my 135 f/2 so much that I've been thinking of adding the 200 f/2.8 to my stable.  For those who have both lenses, does the 200 focus as quickly as the 135?

Are moths a threat to lenses?

Sounds like something from the Andromeda Strain.

How many lenses to cover that range? I would guess three or four, perhaps 24mm, 35mm, 50mm, and 85mm. There are plenty of options. Not all lenses need to be the most expensive version. Pick your ...

Canon 80D with 70-300L VOI Reserve, Madagascar 100 L Macro

Given sufficient light, the 100mm can render plenty of depth.

Can't disagree.  I have nothing but praise for the 100-400 II.  My son has one and graciously lets me borrow it.  When I do, I'm almost always shooting at 400 mm. Another alternative is Canon's ...

I figured there was no way to win this one.  If I omitted the "IS" someone could ask why Canon would release an updated version or replacement without adding stabilization. Continuing to hope.

Holding out hope for a 400mm f/5.6 IS Mk II.

Vancouver Island?  Everything looks better to me there, and your camera/lens rendered it.

Thanks, Paul. One of the shots was recent and sparked a memory of the others. I try to keep my travel photographs organized and can usually (famous last words) find what I'm looking for fairly ...

Exhibition was empty, so I decided to give it some love: http://www.pbase.com/image/168128476 http://www.pbase.com/image/168128473 http://www.pbase.com/image/168128509

Might the resizing result be influenced by whether the shot was cropped, giving away some/many of those pixels?
