I'm selling my 100mm f/2.8 Macro [picked up the L IS version] and IMO that would be the best value for your "few hundred dollars".

Good point. I wanted to wait for the new lens but I have a trip to Maine and some other opportunities before the end of November. So I decided to grab the version I for $440 new. I've owned this ...

OK, DPReview won't let me delete or edit the post so I'll simply say that my point was going to be that an M5/SL2 discussion really doesn't really relate to Canon SLR lenses discussions.

Nothing I like better than dredging for old threads. Mostly because my gear is generally old. Now we've got the DO, the L, the IS, and the IS II. The only one I've owned is the IS and liked it ...

Just an idea, that maybe you move a bit after focus is acquired. If you use back button focus only then you can just let go when you get focus, meter and take the shot and small movements won't ...

I couldn't resist a refurb 24-105L for $599. If I like it and sell my 24-70 f/2.8, and maybe my 100mm macro if the 24-105 works well with a 500D closeup, I'll be ahead money wise and also have a ...

Yeah, the only reason to have f/2.8 lenses is to use them wide open. The exception is depth of field like with landscapes or macro. But with sports? The more separation the better.

How about a ThinkTank backpack with the attached cable lock wrapped around the table leg. No surprise then.

I picked up an SL1 recently to back up my 5DIII and get me some focal length without big lenses. These are all from my walk this morning, all at 250mm, Eagles is 100% crop.

Sure, you can handhold anything if the shutter speed is sufficient. If your camera has good high ISO ability f/8 or smaller can be handheld. Sometimes subject movement is more the problem with ...

Attn DPReview: I'd like you to fix it so I don't see comments from someone on my ignore list as well as in the forums.

A body like this with the 5Ds sensor would be nice as long as it operated like a DSLR in live view not the powershot interface of the EOS-M. Imagine designing one that could take a 1D battery.

After transferring files to a Mac I used to move the files to trash from the card and then eject the card, noticing that the trash was emptied as I did so. Unfortunately, while the files no longer ...

Bird was resting in shadows with a bright sky background - not ideal lighting. Also forgot to change from averaging metering to spot. That would have helped. RAW is wonderful, though. First is the ...

And if the RC-6 will do it so should the button on the side of the 270EXII flash.

Still available. I stuck it back in my bag for a couple of weeks. Didn't use it.

Sure it works. I've used a 12mm promaster extension tube between a 1.4x extender and a lens on several occasions. It also lets you stack 1.4x extenders with a lens that accepts extenders by ...

This isn't really a complete explanation because other f/5.6 lenses like the 400mm work fine with extenders. It's more to do with the 70-300mm lens than it is the extender.

I was going to say that considering you've got a 6D the 1DIV might make more sense. Without another body, I'd say the 5DIII for sure.
