After being welded to my collection of primes for a number of years, I had the opportunity to pick up a 24-105 when I moved from to a 5D Mk I. I found it slow, and the IQ just didn't compare to my previous lenses. Sold it and picked up a 24-70, and while I still don't use the zoom as much as...

Going from to is a game changer as far as photography is concerned. Long zoom > 200m are pretty much only useful for the latter (although I know there will be plenty of people who'll take offence at such a sweeping statement ;) ) and for everything else, you'd be better suited with a wide...

Caveat emptor

Glad to see that I'm not the only one being cynical - that whole spiel looks like a blatent attempt at SEO...

Just to add more mud to the water, I just didn't ever get on with my 24-105....just too damn slow. Bought the 24-70 and loved it...

You're nervous AFTER you got the order? :D

I'm going to be reluctantly trollish (as I appreciate the time you took to consider and post), but given my frustrations over not being able to find something I like, and being very specific in my requirements (especially ones which i wouldn't consider particularly 'normal'), I don't see the...

Thanks to everyone! Stig & Stuart - Freeman's book does look good, although I'm looking for less of a technical/instructional book than one of a particular style that I'd like to try out for myself. But I have a softspot for asian photography, so might take a look. Stig - Street Photography...

I got a bunch of book vouchers for a birthday back in March, and just recently had the time to browse through a couple of bookstore's Photography sections. Utterly disappointed by the lack of anything remotely inspirational tbh. While I acnowledge that my taste in photography styles is a...

not that it has much to do with which lenses you shod take, but where abouts in Indonesia are you going to be?

Seeing CT's 7D Hints & Tips made me realise that I'd love to get some words of wisdom from anyone who has spent any time using the 5D II's HD video. I love the quality of the files, and having seen some incredible movies online I was hoping someone might be able to share some experiences as...

Not mine obviously, but amazing pics all the same.....thought I'd share... http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2010/04/more_from_eyjafjallajokull.html

I may have spotted your problem. :D

I was going to say my second digital camera - a Sony DSC F717 - which really started to get me enthusiastic about taking pictures of things other than my 2 year old son, but I think the one bit of kit which gave the biggest boost to my ability to take photos was my Canon 50mm f1.8. I'd had...

Absolutely. Much better than 'bokeh'. :)
