Our little society is no less real than the one we live in. We socialize with nice, rude, interesting or dull people. Yet we tend to choose the ones we like and develop relationships. This forum may have all kinds of characters, but I always find what it interests me, offers me pleasure and there is no day, that I don't pay a visit to it. Let's ignore rude people and strengthen our favourite site by keeping its high level.

Dear Domen

I live in Athens,Greece and I used www.technikdirekt.de, which I found very reliable, fast, and with quite a variety of products.

ECF serves me very well with my Canon 30V. What blocks Canon from

incorporating this function in the digital slr series?

I do thank you all for your immediate response!

I am about to purchase the Canon 24-105. I know that there was a problem

noticed in the first samples of this lens. Do you happen to know after which

production serial number the problem has been fixed? This info will prevent me

from accepting a possible early problematic lens.

A necessary resize of the photo.<div></div>

A vote for 17-40/4.<div></div>

For Giampi - Which lens did you take this wonderful photo with?

Dear Andre, I give one strong vote for the Tokina 19-35 lens. Although I have moved forward to the Canon 17-40, Tokina has served me well for years, complementing my Canon 7NE.

Dear photo enthusiasts, pros and amateurs, I wish you all a Happy

New Year with great photos.

I consider myself ECF addict. Go for it!

Before buing the Canon 17-40/4, I shot a lot with the Tokina 19-35. I've been very satisfied with the quality it produced, considering its low price. Amateur Photographer mag remarked it highly, during a wide angle lenses review.

Dear all, does any of you happen to know, where I could download the

manual for Acdsee, preferably 5.0 version?

Dear Nick,

I've had the very same worries, when I first got mine. Check my previous thread on the matter.

Do you think that the new presented 70-300/4-5.6 IS justifies being

a better model compared to the oldy 100-300/4.5-5.6? I would like to

know your experienced, well established opinions.

Dear CI P,Mike,Sonny,James,Joe,Pano,Robin and Ian,

thank you all for your quidance. I know I can find competitive prices in Athens, I am concerned of used lenses bargain though. Yes I will enjoy London sightseeing testing my new 17-40/4.

Dear all, I'll be flying to London this week and I would like to

know, which shop you recommend for photo gear.

I resized the photo and I am sending it again.

I want to thank you all for your answers. I went today to my local store and checked another 17-40/4 and I assure you it makes the same noise. I suggest we all forget the old times metal and smooth lens construction.

Dear all,

today I purchased my first L lens, the well regarded 17-40/4, after

giving away a Tokina 19-35, which served me well. Yet I would like to

have feedback from all of you, who own this lens as well, because of

the following. The manual focus ring is moving perfectly and

smoothly. On the other hand, when I rotate the focal ring I hear some

kind of scratching movement. Do you think it's normal, or is it a bad

copy?

I expected a L lens to be perfect and silent. My previous Tokina was

silent though.

I'll appreciate your responce.

I would like to share with you some photos from the Athens Airshow

2005. I used my Elan 7NE and the Canon 100-300/4.5-5.6. What's your

opinion?<div></div>

Dear Jan, try the german site, technikdirekt.de,which is very reliable,fast,great variety and english-speaking.

Dear all,

I am thinking of buying the generally appraised Canon 50mm/1.4 to

add to my arsenal along with my Elan 7NE. I read somewhere that this

lens doesn't offer distance data capability to the 420 EX flashlight.

Would anyone explain to me how this affects the use of the

flashlight, what's its effect on the photos and is there a reason

not to purchase this lens?

Thank you all in advance for your input.

You should also check Tokina 19-35/3.5-4.5. It's price is ca 200$.The quality of pictures is amazing considering the low price.Most of the time I have it mount on me 7NE.
