I have the old 35mm f2 no IS lens. It's an ok performer for still. However for video the focus motor is definately too loud.

I still enjoy using my ancient 1100D.  It's my hiking and travel camera. It's old, basic, has no bells or whistles and for what I'm using it for it's great. I use my ancient, basic 6D for ...

Wise choice

I still have and use my 1100D. It's 12 mp and tops out at 6400 iso.  I use it for hiking and travelling now. In good light it's actually pretty decent. It's basic, no fancy features at all and I ...

Funny, reminds me back in the day when I was a weekend warrior gigging musician and dragged around two 15" bass cabinets, 2 bass guitars and an amp head....then having to help the drummer...

Can't you also lock focus by hitting the * button on the back beside the bbf?

I love vinyl records! A really good vinyl set up is a real treat to listen to in my opinion.....but to each his own.

I think the Tamron 18-400mm 3.5 - 6.3 is an efs mount lens. If that's true then it won't fit on your 5d. You have a nice zoom already. I would practice with that until before your trip to help you ...

Just got back, thought I'd post a quick follow up. A wide angle would have been really handy, a definate "really nice to have" addition to a travel kit.  If you have one for sure take it. But when ...

Thanks, this is very useful info indeed!

Overlap! That was my 1st thought as well when I was thinking about 16-35. I think it would definately be a nice to have, but not a must have. I tend to only use wide angle when travelling. So, ...

Heading to Montreal Canada for a week. Will be spending most of the time in old Montreal. I her it's like Europe there...and to me that means narrow streets etc.  In Europe I took my 80D, 10-18 ...

What about selling your cheapo system and using that $ to upgrade something in your regular system to get the functionality you want?

It could very well be that I had three bad copies. A new one here in Canada is $1000! I had an 80D and an 18-135 STM.  After testing the 17-55 and not liking it, I bought a few fast primes that ...

I've had a few different copies of the 17-55 f2.8 and have been disappointed every time. Maybe 15 years ago when the lens was new it was head and shoulders above others, but now it's just long in ...

Canon 18-135 for a 1 lens solution.

STM version is  very good. Nano will focus faster but I think IQ is pretty close. If you go with the 55-250 make sure it's the STM version as well.  But for wild life it's probate not enough. My ...

+1 What version of the 18-135 do you have? There are 3. Version 1 was just ok, last 2 are very good. I travelled eastern Europe for months with the 18-135 STM and the 10-18 STM on my 80D. Easy to ...

I was kind of in the same boat as you this spring. I went from an 80D to a 6D and could be happier. Low light performance, high iso IQ, colors etc are all nicer for me on the 6D. Sure it doesn't ...

I had the same dilemma a few years back. From what I read 15-85 and 18-135 STM or USM are all pretty close IQ wise. So for me it came down to do I prefer long or wide for its intended use.
