Thanks for the reply. I actually went out and bought one this morning , and so far I'm very impressed with it's features. Time will tell I suppose, but I'm pretty much over my DSLR.

The time has come to downsize from my 20D c/w battery grip, 17-85 IS and 70-300IS. After dragging a bag full of gear around Hawaii for 3 weeks in 2012, constantly swapping lenses, and doing nothing more than viewing the pictures on my PC, uploading a few to forums and printing a few out at 7x4...

Thanks for the help guys. I finally figured out that it was down to there being no WIA driver for the 20D under Windows 7 (Ultimate x64). The camera will connect when set to PTP mode, but to talk to EOS Utility it needs to be in "Normal" mode. I fired up the Windows Virtual PC XP Mode...

Ok chaps (and chapesses), I'm not sure which forum to post this in, so I'll drop it here for now. I've just changed my 350D for a 20D. This was purchased from my boss who, in the way of all bosses, has managed to lose the CD that came with the camera originally. The only application I need...

I nearly bought one of these. Unfortunately (for people like me, anyway) the Canon 350D doesn't write the lens model information into the EXIF data (so DPP won't fx the distortion), which means that you have to either manually edit the EXIF information or buy Ptlens. Irrelevant as far as you...

Anyone want to buy a Sigma 9-21mm F3.9 ?

You know what ? I'm a dumbass. It is the 70-300 IS :bonk:

http://www.thebigkahuna.co.uk/chipmunk.jpg That's original size with nothing but a tiny bit of sharpening in Lightroom 2 (I won't post it with IMG tags due to it being about 4mb). As I said, chuffed to bits. I've found that most lenses, including the old kit lens, can give remarkable results...

Taken with the 75-300 in Sri Lanka a month ago. Compared with what I had, it's L glass. I'll take a look at the Sigma 18-125 though, quite a nice crossover point. hsuffyan, I already have a Nifty, but 80mm is to long for a general "fit & forget" for daily use around town & on holiday. If I...

If I could have ANY lens, I think it would have to be a Carl Zeiss pocket-sized 10-2000mm F0.95 12-stop-IS in Canon mount for 50 quid. But that's just me.

Need WIIIIIIIDDDDE Matt. And I have 75-300 covered anyway so I don't want to take the huge quality hit that I reckon an 18-200 would have.

I'm assuming this is the correct place to ask for this. If not, I'm certain a nice admin will move it. Anyroadup. I have finally decided to flog my rarely used Sigma 10-20 (steady now, I'll be putting it on the for sale forum soon enough) and replacing it with something in the 17/18 to...

You're a marvellous chap :) Thank you PM on way

Lets you fit an M42 (42mm screw thread) lens onto your Canon/Nikon/whatever. Been looking at a 120mm f2.8 Pentacon on Fleabay for £ 107. Now that is a super-sexy piece of gear. L-Glass quality if you're prepared to focus manually (and only lazy people don't ;) ). 190mm (ish, on my 350D) f2.8...
