I just finished shooting the Rottweiler National Specialty in Greeley, CO and used my 17-55 for all the formals -- over 4,000 images. Never heard the IS at all. Not once. In fact, I had to check it...

And, amazingly, DP Review thinks it's wonderful! Just as Bryan did. So, the only Review nay-sayer ironically is Robbie Nikon aka Rob Galbraith. Isn't it about time folks realized that he's just a...

Gina,


I have 16X20 prints on the walls in my studio and some were taken with a 40D, a 30D and some go back to my D30 (3.4 mpx). They all look great at normal viewing distances. All were printed...

We have a litter of Rottie pups on the ground -- they've just turned 8 weeks old -- and they were the stars of our 2010 Calendar. Thought you'd like to meet Ms Plummy who is now recovering from her...

Sundance is 3 years old and 135 lbs so he's pretty physically imposing. But he's very sweet and loves people so we try to make him as accessible as possible. Here he is in his 2009 Halloween outfit...

I have the EF-S 17-55 F2.8 IS and it's a GREAT lens. If you hear anything different, they aren't using it to make $$$. I'm a professional and it's truly a great, sharp, lens. Which is my perspective...

I have both, use both for indoor and outdoor portraits, use them on a 1.6 crop body, love both. To me from a working standpoint and the standpoint of image quality, the fundamental difference is the...

As others have pointed out, the 85 f1.8 is a lovely lens that lets you do everything from great portraits to indoor action sports with equally superb results. It's my people portrait lens and my...

Glad you decided to get the lens. Yes, it takes some getting used to not having a zoom and to hand-holding a 200mm lens (280mm on a crop body) but the lens itself is very sharp, relatively light and...

Kathy,


I shoot professionally and once I sold my 5D and decided to go with a crop body (40D) I bought the 17-55 F2.8IS. It's a great all-purpose, leave-on-the-camera lens. While it's as fast as...

The 5D's "noise control" is primarily a larger sensor which is inherently less noisy. In a crop body, to get 18 mpx and comparatively low noise is quite an achievement. Plus, what the review points...

I've owned the 17-40 F4L and currently own the 17-55 F2.8IS. The IQ if the 17-40 is very nice -- very "L-like" with excellent contrast and color. It may not be as sharp ultimately as the 17-55 but...

Very nice. Love the low angle.





Jim

From what you've said, I think getting the 70-200 F2.8L IS + 1.4X Extender is the right answer. I don't know what your typical output is but the lens should give you the sports coverage you're...

One more: a family came into the studio for family portraits. After they had met Rowdy, they asked for one more photo of him with the kids. Here it is.

Here's Sundance in last year's Halloween costume: pink tutu with matching Butterfly Bow. Not sure what he'll wear this year.

Joel,


depends on whether or not the dog has any obedience training: if he won't sit/stay, you're going to have a long session. I use my 17-55 F2.8 for pet shots and I get their attention with a...

That depends on what type of sports and whether inside or outside. The zooms are more versatile than primes but unless you get the 70-200 F4L, they're all pretty expensive. I own that lens and it's...

I totally agree with this response. I use my 17-55 F2.8 on a 40D for weddings and it's my main lens. I back it up with both the 85 F1.8 and the 50 F1.4 for moody candids in low light but the...

I have:


50 F1.4


85 F1.8

I have a 30D with BG-E2 battery grip, in Excellent Plus condition,
that I'm currently listing for $650 shipped. It has less than 20,000
actuations and has been in a case as my back-up camera for...

I use the EFS17-55 F2.8 IS for weddings on my 40D and it's great. Sharp wide open and great for indoor shoots.





I'd suggest the CP-E2 battery pack for the 580EX. More flashes and faster...

I have the 50mm F1.4 and I love it especially for portrait shoots. At F2.0 and 2.2, the bokeh is lovely and the images sharp but flattering. Also lets me work close enough to the subject to discuss...
