If the initial reviews are like Dustin's, I'm in for this lens. I've been trying to get to 600mm for a reasonable price for a long time.
I'm honored! Thanks!

Thanks Brant and Mark. The sunset shots were taken from a sailboat. I couldn't believe the other sailboat happened to be in the right place at the right time.
Costa Rica is amazing. I spent a...
It's been quite a while since I've been on the site....just returned from a trip to Costa Rica and thought I would post some of the greatest hits. All my shots were with the EF 24-105L or EF 70-300L...
Took the kids to the demolition derby at the Sheboygan County Fair today. Caught a few good shots with the 6D and the EF 24-105L. I was able to get pretty close, which was nice. Click the photo to...
+1. I've never printed anything mural sized, but I use them for anything that hangs on a wall. Great shop.

+1. I loved my 70-200 f/4 L IS and sold it only to get the extra reach of the 70-300L. Here's a shot with my old Canon XS and the 70-200 f/4 IS. It was a MAJOR upgrade from the EF-S 55-250 that it...
This is always a challenge. The smaller percentage of your frame that your subjects accounts for, the harder it is to get it sharp - especially with entry level lenses.
The rule of thumb without IS is 1.6x the focal length for a minimum shutter speed on a crop body. It's just a rule of thumb though. Some people have surgeons hands and still subjects and can pull off...
It is indeed amazing. The new FF technology is startlingly good.
There's not much PP on either of those shots, but what I did was important. First, the WB was all wrong (typical orange color...
Hmmm. Might this be a new piece of kit?
+1 to this point. Insufficient shutter speed dooms many shots, especially if you have shaky hands. Think about all those iPhone/smart phone shots people try to take in lower light conditions. They're...
Yes, it's your money on the line. But if you have some trust in the good folks of a forum (such as this one), the collective advice of people can be an important data point for a decision. On a...
I sell everything on amazon for this reason. It's a flat 8% commission for photography gear and much easier to list an item.
I don't have a point of comparison because I have never owned the 24-70. But I do have the 24-105 and have used it on the 7D and 6D.
I'm not sure I would make that trade while you still use the...
Wow Brant! What a series. That looks like it was tons of fun. The detail and colors are awesome. I just did some long exposure shots on the coast of Ireland, and they turned out ok. There was...
Although you only gain one stop, you could also get the 40mm pancake. It's tiny, inexpensive, and pretty darn good. I used it for indoor pub shots on my 6D in Ireland, and it did a pretty good job....
Now that I am home, I have processed more falconry pics from the other camera, which was my 7D with the 40mm pancake (my best option given the relatively poor lighting conditions and the 7D's...

Thanks Joel. It was amazing. The best part was the "Hawk Walk" with the Harris hawk through the woods.
My first attempts at long exposure. Dingle Peninsula in Ireland.
6D and 24-105L with a 10 stop ND filter.
