    Re: 24-105 4L : Error 99, Error 01, Aperture 00

    My 24-105 IS 4L did the same thing. I used it fine on my 400D then upgraded to a 50D and it kept doing this error. Cost me around £180ish to get it repaired. I wasn't impressed at all,...
  2. Re: 400 f5.6, 100-400, 500 f4 or morgage? +views on prices returning to pre-crunch levels?

    Stick with the Canon glass and go 100-400mm or 500mm.

    Re: Lense Suggestions

    The best thing would be to stick with the lenses you have and go for one of the 70-200mm L lenses to give you some extra reach. I would go for the 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM if you have the cash.

    Re: EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS vs. EF 70-200mm f/4L IS

    Out of the f4 IS or the f2.8 then I would personally go f2.8. But I want action stopping shutter speeds which "IS" is useless for.


    The f4 IS does have the 2 mode version which would be good for...

    Re: EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS vs. EF 70-200mm f/4L IS

    If you want IS the f2.8 is better value as its not twice the price for IS.


    I had the 70-200mm f4 L and it was a great lens. I now have the f2.8 L for the larger aperature, as I didn't see the...
  7. Re: "The photographer with the better gear will take the better images" - Opinions?

    Personally I think it is down to knowing your equipment and its limitations. Then timing to capture a great moment. Which can be down to a bit of luck or a camera with a high fps.

    Re: Prime or Zoom?

    I would go for the 2 zooms, 24-70mm f2.8 L and the 70-200mm f2.8 L IS.


    The 70-200mm is great for getting those more spontanious shots, I have the 70-200mm f2.8 L IS and it is great, really good...

    Re: canon 70 200 f4 l or 100 mm macro?

    Get the 70-200mm f4, it is a great lens, I use to have one before upgrading to the f2.8 IS and it produced great shots. You can get extension tubes that will give you a bit more macro on normal...

    Re: EF-S 18-200 IS or EF 28-135 IS - Please advice

    If you could go another $700 you could get a 50D body only and get the 24-105mm IS F4 L. The 24-105mm IS f4 L is a good general walk around lens and it is L glass as well.


    Then when you get your...
  12. Re: I'm going to make the L Series plunge. Which of these two do you think would be best to start?

    70-200mm 2.8 IS with a 1.4 extender. It is the better one for sports (f2.8 nice and fast), portraits (2.8 gives really good bokeh), weddings (low light).


    The 100-400mm IS is more for nature and...

    Re: Lens Questions

    Try and go to a shop and try them. I think you will go for the 70-200mm 4L when you can have a go with it. Also remember that the more light that comes in the faster the focusing. The ideal one would...

    Re: Lens Questions

    If you are using the lens for sport then "IS" is not needed due to the high shutter speeds required to freeze the action. When I had the 70-200 F4L, I used it for horse riding events and didn't need...

    Re: Lens Questions

    The best thing you can do is work out how high a price you will go to buy a lens. The reason is a lens will last many years and many camera body upgrades so it is better to invest well.

    Re: Which lens?

    To get the best from the 500D you need good lenses. So out of those you have listed the one to go for is the 24-105mm IS F4 L. I have one and it is really good.


    But the first lens I got to...
