Hello Rick.

I have had the same problem, I updated to the new firmware 1.1.0 . Everything works fine now, also make shure you follow the directions on how to update the firmware.

Here is the link:

Good luck Carl

Out of the 9 focusing points , I use the center one to focus (since it will focus on the main subject). On the metering, I have tried all three of them and dont quiet know wich one is best . Thats why I also wanted to know if there is a book that will explain the three different metering modes in more detail (than the user manual). Also I was thinking about getting this book "Canon EOS 20D (Magic Lantern Guides)" by Rob Sheppard, in hopes that I might gain more insight. Any advice or input will be greatly appreciated.

Hy there.

When metering I use the Center AF focusing point, the meter shows

right in the center but the histogram show always towards the left.

Also I mainly shoot flowers, what would be the best metering mode?

Is there a book out that explain's the canon 20D Metering indepth

besides the handbook?

I use a Canon 20D<>70-200L f/2.8 with a Bogen 3249 Monopod & 3055 ball head.

Hello Bob.

I have had that same problem happen to me, with the same setup 75-300 is usm lens/20d. After updating Firmware to 1.1.0 the problem subsided. I havent noticed any problems with my 70-200L f/2.8 lens, also when updating the firmware make shure you download the directions.

I thank everyone for all the great information, and looks like ill be going to the Lower Klamath Basin when I get my vacation.

What would be a good time to go there, about how far is it from San Francisco? Hope to take some great shots with my new Canon 20D & 70-200mm f/2.8L + 2x II Converter.

Thank's again and happy shooting Carl

Any one know of any great locations for Bald Eagle Photography, I

live In San Francisco. Was told that Northern Callifornia has Bald

Eagle Photo Ops, any info would be appreciated.

Also any good books that would explain the metering/costum functions in more detail.

Could some one explain what the best alaround settings would be for

the Costum Functions on the 20d, and what metering modes prevered?

I need to know if the auto fucus still work's , when used with a

teleconverter? And what would be a good one ?

What is a good lens for me to use with my Canon 20D ? I like

shooting flowers and landscapes.

How about Canon 75-300mm f/4-5.6 IS , would that bee a good lens. I

have used the 70-200L f/2.8 and realy like the sharpnes of that

lens, but had to sell it since hand holding it was a problem for me.

Any input is greatly appreciated in advance.

Hy there, I have a digital rebel kit and a 70-200 f/4L USM lens. I

have been thinking if I should sell the rebel kit and L lens for a

Powershot Pro 1. The Pro 1 seems to have both worlds (compact & L

lens & 8Mp . Any input would be greatly appreciated, also what could

I be looking to get for my gear? The kit is less than a year old,

and the 70-200 f/4L lens was purchased less than a month ago. All is

in Mint Condition.

Thank's in advance, and if someone wants to make an offer let me

know, I cand send pix.

Does anyone know if this Program is made for specific scanners only.

I have to program and on the ouside of the case it says for Microtek

ScanMaker 8700 Pro, will this program function with any other

scanner than the one listed on the packaging. Im shure LaserSoft

wont make the program individualy tailored to all the different

scanners.

Also by looking at the picture, is this Monopod good enough for my Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L USM lens ?

Has anyone ever heard of a Company named Lebo, The reason I asked is

that I purchased a Monopod on E'bay. The listing read "Professional

LEBO Cat.#91176 Camera or Video Monopod" . I did a search on Google

for Lebo and nothing came up, any Ideas who made this Monopod ?

Hy there.

What is a good Monopod with quick release, to use with a Canon 70-

200mm f/2.8L USM Lens?

I forgot to mention that the Hasselblad CM has two 12/120film backs 30EV22980, older one TI78272, 1 Hasselblad 50mm proxar F=1m filter, a Hasselblad 50mm 2X pola -1 Filter, Waislevel Viewfinder with 3X Magnifier.

The Rolleiflex 6006 comes with 80mm/2.8 Roleiflex lens, one 120film back and Charger. So whats the better deal, would I be loosing money to trade the Hasselblad for the Rolleiflex straight across? I thing the rolleiflex would be easier for me to use since it has TTL Metering. Please help in making a decission here, thanks for any replies.

Hy there.

I have purchased a Hasselblad CM Planar C 80mm/2.8T*, and im having

a hard time using it. I'm not used to shooting all manually, i have

tried using a handheld meter and im just used to meter trough the

lens and shoot. So my guestion is should i get the Rollei 6006 ? The

Camera Shop where i purchased the hasselblad has one. They are

willing to trade it , what is the better of the two and valua wise ?

Hy there, can someone tell me how to use this light meter. I have a

hasselblab CM planar C 80/2.8 T* Lens, would like to shoot flower

photos at f5.6 or f8. I downloaded the manual for it, but cant make

any sense on how to set it . I'm able the select the shutter value

not the f stop. I have never used a hand held meter, so any help

would be appreciated.

Thank you Edward for the answer, one more question. I also have a Hasselblad 50 2x Pola -1 (Polaricer) doe I have to use exposure compensation for it? If so where can i find a guide for it?

Thank's everyone, for the input. I guess that ill buy the Epson Perfection 2450.

Can anyone tell me of a good Medium Format Scanner? I was interested

in the Epson Perfection 2450, and was told by a friend that the

printed outcome is not desirable. I'm on a limited budget and just

want to digitize my pix for now.

Hy there, I would like to know where I can find an Exposure

Compansation Guide for the Proxar F=1m Filter. I will be using it on

Hasselblad 500CM 80mm/2.8 T* Lens . Im new to Medium Format so

please, any input is greatly apreciated by me.
