My concern exactly. Student budget here :/

I'm thinking of having my old 350D converted to infrared. Is there anything I should know? Who does the conversion best (or are they all the same?), and what can I expect in terms of differences in operation of the camera, if any?

Ideal of course are bodies of water, but in the absence of those, long exposures of busy roads are the obvious ones, although be sure that there are no trees on the road, as the branches always come-out with (what I find to be) an awful "wave-y" sort of pattern...

I have my eye on a screw-in 10-stop, namely the Heliopan (if anybody has any better suggestions though, I'm open), and I was wondering if it would still be possible to use slot-in filters over the top of the screw-in to darken skies or whatever. Does anybody know if the Heliopan has front-facing...

I've done landscapes at 200mm. Note that there cannot be *any* wind at all, or ground movements (train tracks nearby, heavy machinery, etc...). The slightest breeze will ruin your shot as any vibrations are magnified in proportion to zoom.

Not necessarily what they can "put on", but what they could also bring back: eye-controlled focus.

If you have a 50mm too, I don't think it would go unused...

I have a 1DMkIV, and a 16-35 ƒ2.8L II Although it works out at 21mm with the 1.3 cf, it's a good combination. If the worst comes to the worst, I take a couple of shots and stitch them, but I've never had any issues with that combination. Go for it! The only awkward thing is that the 16-35...

am currently using an absolutely ancient SLIK, which used to be my father's back in the '80s. Needless to say, the time is about ripe for a new tripod, although I must admit to being rather confused by the bewildering array on offer. I'm tempted by the Manfrotto 055/057 series, but apart from...

Dull suggestion I know, but a 50mm is never a bad choice. Even on an APS-H body is still works as a fantastic all-rounder. Also if he's doing theatre photography, he'll want a nice fast lens because d lighting. Too much ISO ruins :/

I want to put it on a 16-35 f/2.8 II, on a 1D MkIV body, which brings the 16mm end to an effective 21mm. Safe to use or too wide?

I was wondering; my lens uses 82mm filters, however B+W only make the 110 SC in 82mm. The largest 110 MRC is 77mm. Should I go for the 77mm MRC + a step-down ring, or the appropriately-sized 82mm SC? Is there any major difference between the two in terms of flare/ghosting? I've never seen a...
