I just bought a sigma 30mm f1.4 which front focuses a little. Kris kindly suggested in camera adjustment to solve the problem which sounded great but I can't seem to find it on my 40d is this a 50d only function or is there some way to do it on my 40d? Thanks For my 50D it's in the custom...

So I went for the onestop digital option and the lens just arrived. Stuck it on the 40d took some pics of a page of text at a sloping angle and it is clearly front focusing a little. It doesn't seem to be an issue when focusing on things at greater distance or maybe that is just because the...

I net mine looks like that I have a 300d and have never cleaned the sensor how do I take the pic?

I have a bottle of Balvenie 30 on the go, not that I would have gone out and bought it, I won it and it seemed rude to ebay it. Have to say it is rather nice.

Yep I think I would have said yes to that.:D

Perfect just what I needed to know thanks.

Gosh £260 there that saved me £35 I have heard some of these have had front focus issues, I wonder how many and how bad. One of the attractions of buying new would be that I could swap it if I got a dodgy one. Not sure how easy that would be if from HK. If it's only an occasional dodgy one I...

Sorry this is a nube question. I photograph craftsmen at work in their workshops which are sometimes a bit dark. This is voluntary work as part of a scheme to help them promote their work. I like natural light but am looking for a simple portable way to fill in the dark corners. A...

I have been looking for a sigma 30 f1.4 canon mount for a while. Second hand ones seem expensive or go before I see them. I just found new ones for £293 inc delivery which seems pretty good http://www.purelygadgets.co.uk/prodinfo.php?prodid=1815&start=10&thislist=11~110~104 Anyone seen...

I am no expert photographer but I do studio shots fo my own craftwork in a similar set up so here is my very amateur tips. 1 I would move the flash further round to the right and put a reflector (big sheet of white paper card or whatever you have) to the left to fill the shadows. You have...

I am glad everyone advised this as I went through the same decision last week and ended up going for a second hand 40d.

At least it includes free shipping :) ...edit too slow.

Thanks all, now I just need to do another 91 posts so I can post in the wanted section of classifieds. mind the spam :)

How about a 500d at £400? http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=180779 Would that give as good image quality in a low light situation as a 40d? I know the 40d has metal body and probably extra features that I am unlikely to use. I don't think the 15m pixel sensor is such...

Not sure what this is saying. There is nothing significantly better than my 300d in that price range.? Everything under £600 gives poor low light performance you need a 5d? I had thought that my photo quality was more limited by lens and photographer skill than body. With lights I have...
