I set my Micro Adjust by focusing on an object (text worked best for me) at 50x focal length using live view at full magnification, with the camera on a solid tripod. I then switched to normal shooting mode and used the autofocus, if the distance scale on the lens moved I adjusted the MA, I kept...

Here is one to get you going :) http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=398922

If you are spending 70-300L or 70-300 DO Money wouldn't it make sense to go 100-400L, it is in the same price bracket, longer reach and it supports the 1.4X extender (the 70-300 don't). That is the conclusion I have come to, but then again I have a 1.4XII and want to optimise all my...

C.FnIV 1, set the shutter button to "metering start" set the AF-On button to "metering and AF start" so only the back button auto focus. C.FnIV 1, set the multi controller to AF point direct selection. Now you can use the multi controller to shift the focus point/focus zone at any time and in...

One more lost life would have made it worse in my book, don't know about yours. Are they, did you even think about it? A third party asks a photographer to take a picture somewhere. Photographer seeks permission but it is refused. Photographer goes ahead and takes the picture...

Jeff went on to take the "Tank Man" photograph, he risked and nearly lost his life for that picture. It is one ot the most iconic images of our generation and is still banned in China. The point of my post is to ask at what point does it become acceptable to break the rules, and as the...

I would get 1 "good lens" in my favorite focal length and keep the existing body: Canon 10-22 f3.5-4.5 wideangle (£480 new) Canon 17-55 f2.8 walkaround (£670 new)/ Canon 24-105 f4 L (£630 new) Canon 70-200 f4 L telephoto (£450 new) Get creative with that one good lens, learn to understand...

Soft grads will work well at the wide end of your 18-55, but by the time you get to 55mm (and the lower end of your 55-200) they may be too "soft" and you could find yourself wishing you had some hard grads. To use hard or soft doesn't just depend on your subject, focal length of the lens you...

Samyang/Rokinon 8mm Fisheye, granted not an expensive lens but after a week it may never get used again so this would be a great way of trying it out :)

Judging you purely on this single post it does appear that you are more into the technology than the artistic side of photography. You have already tasted pretty much the best of what is available and moved it on (two 7ds and it has only been out a couple of years). As you appear to have the...

I remember this post from a few days ago... http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=392939

Canon 10-22 EFS, If you can't afford to own one buy it used and sell it again after the event. With a bit of luck you may even make a beer or two out of it ;).

If I was a professional photographer who had to rely on my kit to meet obligations and earn my living it would concern me too. In fact I would shop exclusively at Calumet or WEX regardless of cost. As a simple enthusiast I am willing to risk some inconvenience to make the saving and I do...

I ordered my new 7D from HDEW on Monday afternoon and it arrived this morning (Wednesday) at 07:30. Camera is boxed (not a kit box with the lens removed) with all accessories and a three year warranty is included. To say I am impressed is an understatement, if it wasn't for HDEW I wouldn't be...
