I currently do not use my 24-105 on a 1.6x body, but I did for several years--first on a Rebel XT and then on a 40D. I initially had a 28-135 for my Rebel but found the quality lacking (especially...

For me, this is an easy one, given your question: "Let's say you were traveling to a new country and wanted to be ready to
capture all the sights, which lens would you rather add to my existing ...

I've had no problems using my 580EX II through a PC sync cord with my 5DII in manual mode. Seems to work fine for me. I haven't tried using it as a master flash with that connection, though...

Much like Ed, above, I tend toward a smaller bag for most outings. I have a LowePro Nature Trekker when I need everything, including my f/4 IS Kitchen Sink. But, for the most part, I use my Crumpler...

Thanks very much! I'm still trying to get my brain to rationalize your lovely T/S street shot above, by the way. Such a great look...

Wow, does Canon not realize how much money they could get from goofballs like me with this stuff?? Pull some strings for us, Bryan! ;)


I think the Nifty Fifty Espresso Cup must be next, right?

Awesome idea for an assignment--too much fun! Here's one of my favorites:

5D Mark II, 24-105 f/4 L IS @ 24mm, f/8, 2.5s

Sign me up, too! (Seriously, if somebody can snag a few, I'll gladly pay for one.) I saw these on the web a few days ago. Sweeeet. Also, if you're willing to pony up $200+, you can get one from...

Wow, that's very cool! For whatever reason, this has the look of some sort of deep-sea plant, to me, which makes the frost look all the more other-wordly. Either that, or it's because I'm in Phoenix,...

For what it's worth (more future reference than your current situation, I suppose), if you're ever looking for a universal plate, the Wimberly P-5 does a pretty nice job. I needed a plate for my 5DII...

I've used RRS grip-less L-plates on three bodies, now (Rebel XT, 40D, and 5DII), and I've loved having them on my cameras. I actually like the adjustability for the remote release. It's pretty easy...

Wow. I've read a ton of threads in these forums, and I'm consistently
impressed by the lengths contributors will go to in order to be helpful
and courteous (this thread is a shining example). The...

As a slightly more general aside, for those who think that their DSLR is 'crappy,' I would suggest taking a look at Flickr's Camera Finder. When I feel like it's my equipment that is lacking, I head...

In general, I like the OP's first paragraph, but the second paragraph is off in the weeds. Yes, our gear (especially depending on our income level & the cost of gear) should be taken care of, but not...

A bit late to the party on this one, but I've been using this Tamrac N-45 for several years on all of my cameras, and I like it quite a lot. I rarely carry my camera around my neck, though--usually...

What timing--you just missed this thread


.

I second the 100-400 + 10-22 recommendations. I've rented a 100-400, myself, locally, and it was fantastic (on the wish list...). The push/pull design took a bit of getting used to, and it was...

By the way, I dig the wicked flare in crosbyharbison's volleyball player photo.

There are many things 'wrong' with this image. It's a bit blurry, there are raindrops all over the car window through which it was shot, it's a bit crooked (I should actually fix that...), ..., but...

Awesome thread! Here's one of my favorites:

(40D & 70-200 f/4L IS @ 200mm, f/4, 1/250, ISO 200


Also, just for...

I went with the lever-style ballhead (a RRS BH-55 LR, to be precise). Part of my decision was motivated by the type of plate I wanted to attach to the camera and the type of shooting I tend to...

I have a 6 Million Dollar Home, and I love it. I was also looking for a relatively inconspicuous bag that could carry a lot of stuff, and the $6M Home has served me very well. My standard equipment...

@Alex--wow, the contrast of the purple & orange is great!


Things have been coming along fairly well in the Phoenix area for the past few weeks. Nothing like last year, unfortunately, but still a...

This discussion, as well as my own experience moving from a Rebel XT to a 40D to a 5D Mark II, only helps to reinforce my opinion that the maximum (well, minimum...) f-number of a given lens is...

I just made a general post referencing the site, below, but it looks like you've found some iridescence!
