Thanks for the replies, sounds like a no brainier.

has anyone compared or owned a Mk1 and changed to a Mk2 and see a noticeable difference making it worth the change? I own a Mk1 at the minute and love it on my 1D4 and 5D. Reason i ask, I'm about to buy a 5DS and one of the packages available is for the body with the newer lens, would cost...

With local road racing your able to get very close, at places bikes are passing with 3 feet or less of your toes at 180mph+, rallying on the roads is more or less the same. I would be over at Knockhill a couple of times throughout the year as well as local tracks.

I want to get back I to shooting motorsports again this season, I have currently bought a 1D4 and this will be the primary body for sports. has anyone any experience of these combinations to compare? I will be mostly shooting motorcycle road racing and rallying. Thanks

Tamron 17-50 is a great lens, the fact it's so well priced is the icing on the cake. I bought the VC version first even after reading various reviews saying it was the inferior using the mindset 'well in the real world it can't be that much different'. Man was I wrong, the non VC version (in...

Thanks for the replies. The OS version I was looking at was gone so went for the HSM2 anyway.

Glad to help!

there was no direct flash, I angled a side light on the other side of the room to thrown it this direction as curtains are closed and i'm about to hit the hay after nightshift so room is pretty dark. You can see the reflection in the middle of the curve of the bottle.

ok, just picked up the camera, stuck my 50mm on and fired off 2 shots, straight from camera JPEG, no NR, no fiddling with anything at all. Not brilliant and I must admit ive seen much better, but at least it will give you a quick example, by comparison I would estimate the 3200 below is cleaner...

I dont have any proper shots as I dont normally shoot at high ISO unless its an absolute must, 800 is very high for me. Give me 2 minutes and i'll fire off a couple here in the room of a bottle or something as examples. as for the ISO in the VF, when you press the button on the top LCD to...

my flickr is very disorganized at the minute so i'll post them here for you with details. All these were shot with a Canon 17-40 f4L lens. f4, 40mm ISO800 and approx 50% crop f11, 1/125 ISO50 40mm f11, 3 minute exp ISO50 f16, 51 seconds, ISO50 This one was shot at ISO800 by mistake f9...

yes, 5D will be a massive improvement. I went from a 40D to a 5dC and have been delighted. Friend of mine actually went from a 600D to a 5dC after trying mine. Personally I wasn't bothered about the fact its older kit without all the newer features when I seen what even I can get from it with...

Im in tge market for another 70-200 lens, ive had a Canon L f4 in the past and was going to buy another but had a play with a friends Sigma 2.8 today and found it much better than expected so decided to go for the sigma 2.8. Thing is, looking around online, ive found a few for sale in UK...

What parts of the course are you mostly expecting to be at?

What about a 70-200 f4L? Small and light yet produces fantastic images, used they run around the £350 mark
