That must have been a great experience! Very cool picture!
Indeed! I have just ordered a RRS MH-01 Pro monopod head, which will be my first monopod head ever, and a RRS BH-30 LR for my travel tripod, to replace the useless Gitzo GH1780TQR that came with the...
I have owned more tripod/head combos than I like to think about. Slik, Manfrotto, Vanguard, Benro, Cullman and more. I always thought Gitzo was too expensive and probably not worth it. So I managed...
Splendid :D
There seems to be a few points lost here. To start, I have nothing in particular against B&H. That is why I have purchased as much as I have there. And I fully agree that Yes, B&H provide a good...
Looks like a knee joint, with serious issues :)
I got a mint condition 1DIV for $2.000 yesterday (less than you pay for a 6D body here). Had only been used for family shooting. Better AF, higher fps, (almost) equally good high-ISO performance,...
That is actually not a discount. I believe you could have used their return service and get the new price by reordering. But I agree that it is a good thing that they sponsor sites like this. But...
I have a feeling that we, in general, have a tendency of disregarding one body generation as a prehistoric creation, every time a new body is out. The the 5DII vs. 5DIII, 1DIII vs. 1DIV, 1DsIII vs....
I disagree. I have had this lens for quite some time and, due to all the talk of it not working for sports, I took it for granted and did not use it for anything that moved at all. But after Bryan´s...
Every single thing I have bought outside of Norway, which is more or less everything, I have bought at B&H. And that includes A LOT. 5DI, II and III, 1DX, 6D (for my sister) 24 TS-E 3.5L II, 16-35mm...
I don´t believe the 10-22 will not work on the 6D.
I would go with Neuro´s advice and choose the 35mm f1.4 (both the Canon and Sigma produces great results). An alternative is a light travel...
I think the advice from Brant are good ones. The only thing to add I think, is that the long term value in a kit is the lenses. We have seen and still see a very rapid development in body qualities....
Since you´re going on a cruise I assume you have a cabin. Bring it all and adjust to whatever situation/opportunity that comes your way. The rest you can leave in your cabin. I know I would have had...
+1 The 600 arrives on Friday :cool: But a safari trip is coming up and I would think that the 200-400 would be just the right thing to use there.
Great shot Neuro. I have just ordered the 600mm f/4L IS II. Will hopefully pick it up next week. Christmas in June :)
For all of you who might be skeptical to extenders. Look at Joel´s Red Bellied Woodpecker!
It makes you just want to quit your job, sell your house, collect all your gear and go :p
I currently use the 70-200 f2.8L IS II and 400 f2.8L IS II lenses, with or without the 1.4xIII and 2xIII extenders, on 5DIII and 1DX bodies. It requires 2 body/lens combos and more parts, but I can´t...
When on travel, there is always an issue what to bring. Historically I have carried too much, to make sure I have the best optical performance for whatever situation I end up in. In most cases I end...
I´ve done numerous updates on several bodies, on both Windows and Mac, with no issues. Just follow the procedure and you should be OK.
Joel,
Your pictures are in general of a very high quality. I am inspired by them. Framing, colors, sharpness, DOF, bokeh etc. are normally great. It is almost as if this one is posing for you. With...
Agree. But from 70-200 it is in a different league and with the extender it is not that far behind, so overall, I still say that it is a better combo. If 400mm is the main objective I would seriously...
One added comment, which is an important one in my book, concerns the 5DIII AF system. If you get the 17-40, 24-105 and 100-400, none of them will take full advantage of the AF system of the 5DIII. A...
