Yeah, that's what I suspected. That excludes me pretty unambiguously: I don't do this as a job. Thanks for the suggestion, though.


Clever trick with the lens-flipping. Maybe I can befriend a...

Ya know, in searching around for info on repairs and such, I've read a lot about how great CPS is. But I'm not an imaging professional, just a passionate hobbyist who takes the odd gigs when people...

I mean, I guess it's remotely possible. But the AF was smooth and fast and images were sharp until the day I brought it in.



Heh, I wish. I covered my gear that way a while ago. After three...

Hey folks,

I have a question about a lens repair situation I'm facing. I think they're trying to sucker me, but there's plenty about lenses I don't know, so I wanted to double check with a...

This is a really, really well written description of phase detection AF, and it's dependence on contrast. And as I...

Ahh! I think I understand the impasse here.





So, yes. it is true. Phase detection AF sensors become available in discrete intervals based on the lens they were designed for. No wider lens...

I've had this <span style="text-decoration: line-through;"]argument [wait, this isn't dpreview, we can stay friendly :)] discussion before. It's a fun one to have.





Now, just to muddy the...

My intuition says the same as Daniel. I have that lens, and the USM driving the front element just feels fairly sluggish-- which is probably intentional, allowing for extremely fine adjustments....

If you're like me you ctrl+f'd 'sound' and didn't find it. Try 'audio'.

I have to disagree. If the water lost reflectivity then that beautiful blue path leading up and to the right might have been diminished.








The colors and contrast in this shot are...

I changed from the 20d to the 5dII. It's weird to have the adapt to a new kind of auditory feedback, but it grows on ya.





If you're real worried, go check out the 5dII review on this site....

The last one, where the smoke is rolling off her hand--- I love that.

You keep talking about 15-55... can be a mistypo, but we are talking about the 17-55 IS USM

Well, I guess my mileage varied. I found the colors and distortion in my 15-55 to be discouraging. The contrast was fine, and it was sharp enough, but I get better results out of my 24-70.




...

Rather than throwing numbers at you, I'll give you a subjective perspective:





I have both those lenses. I had the 15-55 first. It's mostly boxed these days. It collected some dust which I...

My 70-200 2.8 normally performs extremely well. But ONE TIME, I got some nasty fringing, shooting something a lot like that (overcast, bright, with plant life in front of it. It reduces pretty well...

Meta--





I've banged my head against the colorspace
wall. The printing service I use now doesn't require it, but the way I
found before I used them was the proofing option in photoshop....

Hopefully the suggestions people give will be enough to make the shots worthy of pride.





As
to the how? Well, you said it's the same lens. If that lens took any
impact in the last year...

It's perfectly possible to get nice diffuse light with some 500 watt hot lights (incandescents) and umbrellas (get ones that let you remove the back and shoot-through) or even cleverly hung...

It's an atypical choice for 'just one', but I'd take the 85 f1.2. I mean, there are a million amazing general and wide range lenses out there. But back when I got my first DSLR I did have only one...

Ahh, cool. I worked through the first half of that, and no 48%'s were popping out at me, so I figured there was more to deriving the number than that.





I'd still like to see it, but that...

But high ISO capability is precisely where the 7D shines! If you shoot wildlife with all three cameras, the same lens, and from the same position, you'll find that the 7D and 5D2 have the exact same...

That thing looks amazing, I agree, but he said he needs high iso capability, which is its only 'drawback' (as opposed to trade-off) from which it suffers.





What I actually wanted to add in...

So, I often sing the praises of the 24-70. I use it on my 5dII and my 20D, and I love it both. If anything, I find it...

No. Let me illustrate. Imagine you're in a dark room with no windows. There is only a two-inch pipe that you can peer through to see a tiny circle of the outside world. Now, hold a cardboard tube up...
