I wish I had a sample, but I trashed them off the comp after being dissatisfied. Not using a tripod, but the shutter speed was like 1/500th of a second, so I shouldn't need one and that is with IS turned on. Maybe the term vaseline was a little bit much. Its just soft.

I've got the 20D and I'm using the 70-200 2.8. I get razor sharp

results with that lens...kinda scary how detailed things are. I put

the 2x extender (made by Canon) on and my results are soft to say

the least, that detail is gone...of course I know it doubles the f-

stop and requires more light, but come on, looks like someone

smeared a bit of vaseline on my lens. Has anyone else ran into this

problem? Maybe I'm expecting too much.

 

Thanks

I've looked everywhere and can't find the new SB-E1 speedlite bracket...BH doesn't have it,

or I'm searching under the wrong thing. Is this really the best bracket for the 20D and the

580ex? From the look, it doesn't look like it allows the flash to be rotated for vertical pics.

 

Thanks

I think the easiest way is to File -- Automate -- Web Photo Gallery. You select the source

folder (your pics) and the destination folder. Then you specify how large you want the final

scaled down images to be. It'll create a webpage with your images on it. If all you want is

the images and not the web page, then just grab the images folder out of the destination

folder and delete the few icons, .gif files it throws in there. Just my $.02.

Good point, but are there any problems with a camera that will only show up after like say

a weeks worth of use after he has my money?

So I found on Amazon, there is a zshop seller with a 20D and a new lens for $724.00

which has free shipping.

 

I contacted the seller, because I paid close to $1400 for my 20D without the lens.

 

I said this must be grey market or refurbished. He emailed back and said that yes it was

refurbished US version with full warranty. Figured was a scam, but my credit card company

would refund me the money if it was. I went to order through Amazon, it said that he

didn't accept Amazon Payments.

 

I emailed him back and he said he takes money orders only. So I thought whatever. But

then he emailed me back and said he would send me the camera, NOT COD and I could

pay him once I got it and was happy with it.

 

This strikes me as odd...part of me wants to go for it, but the other part of me is like huh?

what?

 

What do you guys think?

Anyone with the 20D, to get sharp images, what percetage and radius

do you usually use with the unsharp mask? I'm shooting with the 70-

200/2.8IS lens, so its pretty sharp as is, but just wondering.

 

Thanks
