<p>I find the 70-300 Is a very sharp lens. I recently also discovered that due to its built its very sensitive for strong wind. Even with the cap off. I tried it in strong wind on a 6kg Gitzo. No sharp photos. The l line might give an advantage here...</p>

<p>I wonder for some years already why no manufacturar profiles itself with and as 'outdoor', I think there is a hughe market for that.</p>

<p>Just face it. It is dissapointing that only some cameras can stand different environmental conditions, especially wet. It is my personal opinion that semi pro and pro camera's at least should be able to, at least to a reasonable extent. This kind of use at this level is therefore normal in my eyes. Heavy use in different conditions should be expected when manufacturing. By the by, I seriously doubt if the cameras were abused as suggested here, maybe just a certain kind of ruggedness was expected by the users, and not without any ground.</p>

<p>lets lobby for more 'outdoor' cameras? I think these forums can be quite effective :-)</p>

<p>Enjoyed participating and following the whole thread(s) day by day!. My congratulations to the winners here.</p>

<p>Quite dissapointing I did find something in the manual about this. <br /> <br /> 1: margins are required at the top and bottom of the page on cut sheets,<br /> full borderless printing available on roll paper only.<br /> <br /> --- this one I can understand to some extent.<br /> <br /> 2: Maximum reduces the bottom margin (available for printing on plain paper<br /> sheets only).<br /> <br /> --- by no means I can understand this from a pro machine. I could easily<br /> manage this with my 2100/2200<br /> <br /> This means that for full A4 prints I will have to use A3 paper or A3+<br /> <br /> I not happy with it<br /> <br /> anybody an idea how to work around this?</p>

<p>as an addition: I normally turn this option -double sided printing- 'off' of course.</p>

<p>No I haven't got it. Let me explain. When I choose 'double sided printing' I see a right margin of 14 mm (0.55 inch). exactly the space wich is causing the problems in all my other prints. It cannot be adjusted to a lower value. Problem is, this value seems to appear in my normal prints as well, so I am not able to get a pratically (3mm) 'edgeless' print. When I print within those margin, I have no problem, when I try to achieve nearly edgeless, it just cuts of the data at 14 mm......</p>

<p>Think I got it, its in the 'borderless printing' option, this causes the problem of cutting the paper.<br>

Tomorrow make some new prints.</p>

<p>Thanks Patrick.</p>

<p>probably the 105 % , I am doing new tests. I come back :-)</p>

<p>After several adjustments and some waisted prints, I cannot seem to figure out wich setting is required to what seems turning of the large end margin (with landscape on the right). It results in prints that are nicely set up in qimage (trial) or PS, but are harsely cut at the end, leaving me with an unprinted area- and with enough white space on paper left.... I print under vista 64 with the epson 64 bit driver, and otherwise the prints are what they should be! To avoid a bulk of waisted prints I wonder if someone has the right settings for me. I even considered setting up my own media settings, 14 mm more... It happens both on A4 (8/12) and A3 (13/19). But I stopped before printing A2 (16/20) you can imagine why :-)<br>

Thanks in advance</p>

<p>I 've done two or three weddings till now, all long ago, and last year friends asked me, so here it is, a shot in sunny but very stormy weather after all the ceremonies.<br>

date: 12-08-2008 canon 400d, Tamron 28-75, 1/60 at 5.6. B&W conversion in PS. Originally printed like this in A3+ format as our gift.</p><div></div>

<p>He is just trying for a long thread. Make a post with in the head 'wich one is better" Canon or nikon and everybody jumps on it. He has not responded for 5 days. good luck.</p>

<p>Tokina is ok, Its very sharp and has consistent f4 aperture. I use it in all my recent (last two years) landscape shots (see my portfolio) . Ca can be controlled within lightroom decently for your best shots. A new 12-24 (mkII?) is on the market wich should suffer less from ca. That said from my own experience I think neither will dissapoint you.</p>

<p>you must be desperate Dave...</p>

<p>Thanks, it will sure help to find my way through the archives. JDM, makes me smile :-)</p>

<p>My rating is high... have been personal trainer, make photographs and work in the IT.. Good feeling post, just needed that, thank you Dan :-)</p>

<p>Good to see others struggling too :-) ....though Ellis seems to have a straight solution for it, sounds like ok to me. As long as it aren't too much files keeping all is not a point, but with digital I shoot more, than I used to with film, and there is more 'noise' now in my files. It sometimes starts to look like my grandparents attic...</p>

<p>Not found this in a search so I give it a try. Here is my problem of archiving, not technically however, I have a nice set up for that with some TB of external discs. Still, it gives me the feeling of getting too much when it keeps expanding like this. The matter is, when you do a lot of shooting, how do you treat them afterwards? There are some good, some just about ok and some bad photos in every shoot. Do you keep them all and archive them and see later? Do you throw away everything except the very good? My question simple is: What do you do with them?</p>

<p>Take a look at this 5d picture from canon promotion of some years ago.</p>

<p>http://web.canon.jp/imaging/eos5d/html/eos5d_sample_2e.html</p>

<p>nothing new. Dan has good advice.</p>

 

<p>Thanks Erich, I would like that. Succes!</p>

<p>In this article, a comparison of the 5d mKII and the A900 a part is about the sharpness issue. Makes some more clear I think. </p>

<p>Tamron 70-200 /2.8 http://www.slrgear.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/1090/cat/23<br>

but of course everything has its 'price'</p>

<p>as an alternative you might think about the 70-300 4-5.6 IS of canon.</p>

<p>It sounds fair to me, and I think you have a fair chance of getting it. Best is to make professional photos that allows the buyer to examine the product well in order to make his decision. This means from different angles, large as possible and under decent light. Background clutter best be avoided. (make a presentation with clothing or shoot it while placed on a mirror). Take care of proper sharpening after sizing for the web. Make seperate shots of scratches if they exist. Most decisions are made on first view.</p>

<p>good luck and best wishes!</p>
