Yes, you would get a shutter speed of f/5.6 but the noise would be the same as f/9 on a full-frame or f/5.6 noise on a 1.6. The noise would be about the same.

Well, Ed - to be technically correct, if you're including the crop factor effect on focal length you need to include it on aperture as well, so what you have is a672 mm f/9lens in terms of FF...
You're off to a great start with your new 5D Mk II! Those church shots are impressive! You are going to LOVE using the 5D Mk II on available light photography. Just jack up the ISO and go! I have...
Youshould try with all the focus points. My 5D worked better with all the points than with just the center point.
I think that what you are shooting is challenging for your Rebel. My old...
What are you shooting? If you are shooting something fast and erratic like birds in flight, you need something like the 7D which is very accurate and very fast.
I think the 50D is similar to the...
It's a fanatastic lens for both FF and crop. It works great with the 1.4x and is light and portable enough to pack into the bush. Most highly recommended! Only drawback is that it only has older 2...

Bob,
Jordan's got a good point. The 100 mm F/2.8 macro is a great lens that you can stick in the face of a critter to get some great shots. BUT what if the critter doesn't like to have that nice...
Here are three recent shots. When you can't get close enough without disturbing the critter, try using the 672 mm F/5.6 macro, i.e. 7D with 300 mm F4L IS and 1.4x. Shots are about three quarters of...
If it takes photos at 600 mm, I WANT one. It won't kill me to pack that around in the bush.
I've got the 100 mm F2.8 macro and it's an excellent lens. You will love it in the new world it will open up for you. If I was to buy now, I would consider the 100 mm F2.8 IS L macro instead. When...
Those are nice shots! And you're right, when you try to walk up to them, you can't get that close before they take off. You can call your kayak part of your camera gear.
I think Lowepro makes a...
I would be inclined to gently use a hair dryer on it, on a very low setting. Then afterwards, pack it in a plastic bag over the weekend with a couple of those pouches of dessicant that you get when...
Hello John,
Sidebar to the main topic of the thread:
Don't give up on Canon just yet to go over to the *dark side*. The 5D Mk II and the D700 are already in late middle age in camera body...
I thought the purpose of this thread was to help SafariMonkey consider choices for gear for his trip to Africa and all my comments have been considered on that basis. To give him some facts based on...
The 7D has inferior reach to a 5DII, because you just put an extender to match the focal length and get much sharper results. The 7D crops the image while the 5D II crops optically and attains better...
If there was anyone manning the video camera, they were sure being a good buddy by not warning the photographer well in advance of him backing into the pool . . .
I've got both a 5D Mk II and a 7D. As others have said the 5D Mk II has superior IQ and this is really noticeable in shots with marginal lighting conditions. On a 7D, you can shoot decent shots that...
Your ISO setting is probably okay at 500. I like generally to use mine at ISO 400. Your shutter speed is WAY too slow. If you want to have any chance of catching a relative sharp shot of your bird,...
Congratulations on your purchase! I've got a 70-200 F4L IS too. Great glass gives great results. Your shots are excellent.
FANTASTIC Shot!! This is what photography is all about.
It's a nice serene shot. I like the water droplets around the beak.
I like #1 better because the lupin has a similar color to the sky and is a more interesting subject than the tree.
The good point of #2 is that the sky appears richer because it doesn't have the...
The 5D has been eclipsed by newer models with more features, whistles & bells,and capabilities in different conditions. I've got newer bodies but whenever I shoot with the 5D, and yes I still use it...
The reason why fungus grows on a lens is because it can utilize the lens coating for food. This may or may not be possible with fungus inside the body but I would be more concerned with corrosion...
