Ah, yes, I did overlook that. But I'm not sure it matters. Sportyaccordy alleges that APS-C cameras are not very profitable compared to FF because users don't buy many APS-C premium lenses. This ...

That is one bold bobcat.  Excellent good fortune, and hard work.

Yes.  If you were there, you could also tell because the dam would also have an edge on the upstream side.  It would be more like a wall.

B&H shows it in stock.  I didn't check the Canon site or any others.

You can't draw broad economic conclusions about the industry just by comparing two lenses, especially when you bring in lots of complicating factors. You are on much firmer ground with your overall ...

Interesting theory.  From what I have seen, the Canon 17-55/2.8 costs at least 7 times as much as the 18-55/4-5.6 or 18-55/3.5-5.6, but has only slightly better image quality.  Whenever a consumer ...

Gorgeous. Thanks for entering.

I notice that it still got some poor marks. Ridiculous. :)

OK, I see what you are saying.  But it's still a flawed comparison, because the 24-70 lenses were not only spectacular lenses, but they had little competition. It might have been a valid comparison ...

Really? Let's examine this. I'm going to put the central facts and conclusion in bold. 17-55/2.8: 230K copies 24-70: >1 million. Much higher price, much higher volume. You pointed out that profits ...

Nice pictures!  And taken from a safe distance, it appears.

That applies only to a "normal" lens, whatever that was at the time.

Your analysis is sloppy and highly selective. Considering the gazillions of 17-55 and 18-55 lenses sold, sales of the 24-70 might be slightly more than pocket change. I don't really know what the ...

That's an odd analysis.  The 17-55 was competing with the 18-55, which they supplied with most cameras almost free.  How many of those did they sell?  You add it up, please.  My calculator doesn't ...

I just photographed a river chute in the rain. The rocks were wet, and therefore beautiful. Rain is your friend.  Heck, even a puddle of water made a beautiful photo, which I showed to friends.

A battery doesn't have an on/off switch, so it's always powered.  And it's probably sealed.  I wouldn't hesitate to dry it and use it, unless there's water leaking out of it (unlikely).

I notice that the latest and best technological advances have gone almost mostly into full frame -- both for lenses and bodies. So it's no wonder that the enthusiasts and professionals flock to ...

Hmm.  Agonizing over just the right (or wrong) lens, camera settings, distance, flash setting, and weird software machinations. Clearly that's interesting but choosing a focal length for better ...

Cracked what? I don't think you have. I'm not trying to be unfriendly, but let me be brutally honest here. Were you using the dog just to demonstrate the technique?  Otherwise, I think you should ...
