I've currently got a Canon 5d classic, 40d, 17-40 F4 L , 70-200 F4 L IS, 50mm 1.8, and im just not feeling the love any more for it, I want to do some macro work, also some landscapes from the hexacopter im building, I have shot weddings in the past and some motorsport (although need longer...

either way even if its not a genius suggestion its appreciated, I did consider it but then I would not be able to use it on the 5d and go megawide

thank you one and all, theres been some stunning images and it shows me that what I want to do is possible, just need to get the lens now

If I've got this right, the 17-40 would become a 27.2 - 64mm on the crop body (*1.6) and give me almost the 24-70 range and it would loose some of the issues with the clarity at the edges, looking at the 2nd pic by Anorakus the quality at the edges does seem to be a bit of a worry .... Raymond...

Hi Im seriously looking at adding the 17-40 lens to my kit, it will be used for landscapes but also has to work at a wedding my current kit is a 70-200 F4L IS and 50mm 1.8, body wise got a full frame and a crop the base plan is to put the 17-40 on the crop body for general work and then...

Hi Thanks for the replies and links, I'll see what I can find on the bay or amazon etc based on that thread Cheers Phil

Hi Im after a cheap printer to print directly onto cd's and to do the odd sheet of A4 for sleve inserts, has anyone got any recommendations ? Cheers Phil

I dont use the 50 much tbh, but some of that was just lazyness as I had zooms that covered the range That comparison is quite interesting, the 24-105 seems sharper and also the whites whiter if that makes any sense and Im looking at it correctly Thanks Phil

I've had a good browse and search through the archives, its still not answered my questions though, so thought I'd post it up and see if anyone has any ideas I currently have a Canon gripped 350d and 5d classic, I have a 70-200 F4 IS L, 50mm F1.8 (nifty fifty) and the 17-55 IS kit lens for...

you can take pics, there are areas you canot use flash even if you wanted to, as it can upset/damage the fish (some of the deeper diving fish that are not used to bright light etc) a circular polariser to remove reflections from the glass would be good, and the light is ... well ... not...

having just done a load of portraits at work for our instant messaging system, I've had the experience of shooting (photographing) both light and dark skinned people I was shooting against a white background, with a light blowing the background out, 1 softbox high center left of subject to...
