    Eos 6d Owners Thread!

    The 7D would be the logical body for me meaning I can keep the 10-22mm, plus i get the extra reach. However, I've read that its not a good body for low light shooting. Also, the age of the body and the fact that a 7Dii is perhaps around the corner, with better technology has put me off. If the...

    EOS 30D CF ERR

    It appears that i have managed to bend a pin on the CF interface in my camera. Can this be repaired? Any recommendations as to who can carry this out? Any idea of estimated costs? Thanks

    24-105 - grit behind the focusing ring

    Breaker, did you do anything to progress this? I too have a 'gritty' noise when i use the MF on the lens. However, in AF its quiet, no sign of the 'grit' noise.

    Big thumbs up for Kerso

    For clarrification, if i buy from Kerso, there are no issues using the canon cash back vouchers? If so, the 100-400 is mighty tempting.

    Cycling

    If I'm climbing, I always drop the travel to lower the front and then open it up at the top. I can adjust between 90 and 130mm in 3mm steps with my fork - Fox Talas RLC. I tend to lock the fork as soon as I'm on tarmac, otherwise its left open. Ive never played with rebound and compression...
