    Re: Anybody ever shot a shuttle launch?

    The 500mm f4 is probably your best bet. Probably with a tele converter (1.4x) The shuttle is REALLY far away from where people are allowed. However, metering is going to be tricky, spot metering in...

    Re: Photographing a Board Meeting - Tips?

    Get some broad shots, and get some shots of people looking bored, or really into it, get some shots using depth of field, with all the people in a row. Variety. Don't use the flash, except maybe once...

    Re: Monitor Suggestions?

    Re: Aperture and bokeh

    The optical design is first and foremost the deciding factor being bokeh. The camera to subject and subject to background distance ratio also plays an important part. Lens coatings play a part,...

    Re: Lens warranties--worth it?

    Re: I need help

    You can get a good computer (dual core CPU with a big hard drive and a few gigs of memory and Vista or XP) for about 500-600 bucks. Get Adobe Photoshop CS3 or CS4 and you're set. You can use bridge...
  8. Re: Feebacks on the Weather sealing on our Cameras

    1D bodies are only a good investment if you either make money from yor photography or if you buy them used. I would always go with last generation's 1D series rather then the latest 40D , 50D or...

    Re: Tripod Head for big lens?

    I find it funny that after saying you'll be mounting a 500mm that you bother to even mention the extra 200 ounces of a flash. I would go with wimberly ball head and a realyrightstuff bracket and legs.
  10. Re: Canon 50D 1.0.6 ISO noise performance comparison

    i don't understand, what are we comparing these shots too? Are you claiming that firmware 1.0.6 has increased high ISO perforance? I don't mean to sound facetious, but what am I missing, did i...
  11. Re: Zeiss Distagon T* 18/3.5 for Canon, do we really need this??

    I forgot to mention, this basic mount works perfectly with any lens that has an aperture ring, but G lens do not work (they automatically stop down). Many EOS users have craved the Nikon 14-24 f2.8 G...
  12. Re: Zeiss Distagon T* 18/3.5 for Canon, do we really need this??

    The adapters are a male EOS mount on one end and a female Nikon F (or Leica R or whatever) mount on the other end. It just so happens that the eos mount is large enough in diameter that many lens are...
  13. Re: Zeiss Distagon T* 18/3.5 for Canon, do we really need this??

    The 85mm is a bit of a let down, it's the same design they've been recycling forever, I do know of a couple of photographers that have sold their 85mm f1.2 for the Zeiss though, they like the way it...

    More so than the sharpness of this lens, which some how found to be better, others not as good, and assuming one gets a good copy that does not have AF issues, I find that the way this lens draws is...

    Re: Looking for the ideal portrait lens

    i would suggest a 50mm f1.4 as well, however, i would suggest the Sigma 50mm simply because it's bokeh, is sublime. Regardless of what anyone says, portraits vary too much for one lens to be the...

    Re: Canon 60D - Predictions?

    I'd like to see a nicer viewfinder and a miniature vertical grip available... Something that doesn't turn the camera into a tank but allows for shotting portraits.
