Not sure about Cabo, but I've done this a few times in Norway and the 400mm was more than enough for most shots.  You're on a boat, so anything longer than that really struggles with damping down ...

To me makeup should be used to enhance and emphasise what is already there, not be put it on with a trowel in order to replace yourself with someone else (and almost alien, in the case of these...

Long term it's definitely mirrorless and RF, but *how* long term is almost certainly going to be determined by the market, and Canon have said as much within the last few weeks.  In particular ...

Possible, but I doubt it very much unless Canon is sitting on tech that's a whole generation, and possibly two, ahead of the current state of the art and will have it ready for market by 2020.  I ...

Can't see them not bringing out a new 1DX for the Olympics in 2020, and that will probably come with some new high-end glass with the 300mm & 500mm likely, along with a standard zoom L" kit" lens, ...

Another vote for the 11-24mm.  I replaced my Sigma 12-24mm with this and it's in a completely different league for general IQ, flare resistance, etc. Another option, especially if you are mostly ...

Thanks - it definitely saves some time with having to tune the exposure, and usually lets you get it right first time around. I also found it far too easy to get into the habit of plonking myself ...

You're right, but not everyone is comfortable with manual exposures (I have no idea why; it's no harder than using Av/Tv with exposure comp) so I think most people err on the side of caution and ...

Regardless of lens, I try and avoid stitching when I've got lots of people milling around due to the inevitable glitches and clean ups that result. Instead I use one of the following techniques, ...

I found using shift handheld came quite quickly with a bit practice (tilt took a bit longer though!), and don't sweat it if you're not perfect when shooting handheld - it'll still be a LOT less ...

Yes, the darker viewfinder is normal as well.  Basically, the light is striking the sensor (or meter) at more of an angle than it would with an unshifted/tilted lens, causing false readings and ...

It's about the same amount of bulk as your 24-70mm, so depends on how much walking you are planning on doing.  It's not really a "walkaround lens" though; you'd probably do better to use the ...

I've seen IS soften images before, but the f/11 and f/16 test results are ridiculous and actually make me think user error is more to blame than IS.  Specifically, it looks very much like IS was ...

Handheld or using a support for panning shots I generally leave it on and in the appropriate mode for what I'm doing, but I do on occassion turn it off if the shutter speeds are fast enough and it ...

Yes, but what's the alternative currently? You have to start somewhere, and given that drones have already helped saved lives this is a good start that should see some take-up for first-responders...

Doh; of course it is!  It's the scale used by Lee on their regular filters (that I own!), before they switch to using stops for their "Stopper" range.  I'm just so used to thinking of them i terms ...

There are a few scales, but ND3 for ten stops is a new one on me.  Basically though, yes - just go by the number of stops.  Each stop will double your exposure time, so if you have a 10 stop then ...

As noted, it depends on the effect you want and how much light and motion there is.  For the milky waterfall effect, you might need as little as a 0.5s exposure or several seconds depending on how ...

Interesting.  Looks like the extra pins on the RF mount are related to RF specific functionality then, rather than trying to enhance the existing mount's functionality which presumably remains on ...

So... an extension tube? :) Actually, given the extra pins on the RF mount, I suspect there must be a bit more intelligence in the EF adaptor for RF to handle any protocol conversions or put a ...
