You may still be able to recover the files by connecting the camera to your computer via a cable rather than using the card in a card reader.

Agree with this, use 3 ultrasharps at work and 2 at home. All excellent.

A quick google suggests that the 7DII has an APS-C sensor so would be fine with a sigma DC lens. The 1DIV however is a APS-H sensor which is larger than a APS-C and therefore is likely not suitable for use with a DC lens.

Your sigma lens is a DC so is designed for APS-C sensor cameras

Interesting discussion so far, some great points. I'm taking it all on board. It'll be at least a month until I'm in the position to buy anything. My new panoramic head should arrive this week so I'll get busy shooting away with it and see if I feel that I still need the ND grads.

Ah, so in theory as the dynamic range of sensors has improved, it should be possible to bring back highlights better than in the past, as the information is there now whereas before it would have blown out? Does this still apply in the case of my 500D?

I'm returning to photography after a long break. I mostly shoot landscape stuff, particularly focused on panoramics. Years ago, my trusty set of ND grads went everywhere with me, they reduced post processing time significantly and simplified the process of producing a well balanced panoramic...

The OPs images look like they may have been cropped and enlarged, does this camera have a 'digital zoom'?

Ha! Damn autocorrect!

Perhaps reshoot the above shots in goodnight and post them up with the exif for both to allow comparison?

Do the different apps just offer more controls than the manufacturer provided app? Isn't the camera controls part of the operating system anyway so what advantage is there to third party apps?

As above, cheaper filter holders are available for the big brands, saving you some money to then spend on the actual filters. Also, cokin still do the z-pro starter kit that comes with the holder, three different Nd grads and a filter case. Unless you've got particularly large lens diameters...

Great, thanks for the links. I'll hunt down an L bracket, although at first look I'm struggling to find one for my 500D so may end up with a universal one. (y)

Phil_b, do you have details or links to the parts you used to build this? I've just had a second return to photography, I've always loved taking panoramics, started with a panosaurus over 10 years ago, back when you had to select your own control points for stitching! Then got a chinese...

Where was this from? I'm looking for a pro1 but am a bit wary of buying fakes from ebay as mentioned above.
