Hi,

What I mean is: you take 2 cords.

From one cord you take off the cameraside thing.

Then connect this cord (without camera side thning) on the other cord.

So you have a cord with a cameraconnect and 2 connections for the flashes. A friend off mine did this with succes.

I want to buy 2 200E flashes,for just normal TTL,I do not need preflashes for butterflies or dragonflies.

Bob,

Its really expensive wat you mention thats why I want to use 2 cords.

In your situation I have to buy: 3 cords,one distributitor,2 flahs slaves,and a host shoe adapter.

Hi,

I wanna use 2 flashes for macrophotography

with 2 Off-Camera Shoe Cord 2s.

I wanted to make ONE cord of 2 cords so that

I can use 2 flashes with it,so I connect them with eachother.

I think its a cheap way to get TTL measuring with 2 flashes.

Anybody having experiences with this?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

I want to go photographing dragonflies and other insects.

I use a Sigma 180mm lens with a Canon EOS3.

Now I want to buy 2 flashes ?

What flashes are suitable for my combination and

must there be a difference between the 2 flashes?

What about the Novoflex auto macroflash system?

I read the old 200E from Canon are very suitable for macrophotography.

Who can help me ?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I want to visit Les Dombes near Lyon (France) for birdphotography.

Maybe somebody was there before and has some more specific information

about Les Domes and the opportunities for birdphotography.

Thans in advance

Bob,

Thanks

Handheld shots just for birds in flight!

So I do NOT need IS

What about the AF of the Tokina 400mmAF?

Is this lens renewed recently?

Hi

I have a Canon 500mmF4.5 + Canon TC lens and an elan 2E body.

Beside my 500mm I wanna buy a CHEAP 300mm or 400mm lens (so NOT the

IS version from Canon or the Canon 400F5.6)

The lens has to be fast focus,light and handy and must have a small

focus distance and I wanna use it primary for birdphotography.

I am thinking about 4 possibilities:

1. the Canon EF 300mm F NOT IS version

2. the Sigma 300mm AF MACRO HSM APO

3. the Sigma 400mm AF MACRO HSM APO

4. the Tokina 300mm ATX AF

Who can give me some decent advise?

Thanks in advance,

Bob,

Which shoulder stock would you advise for

the 300mm and 1.4 converter?

Jeroen Gense

Hi

Is there anybody who uses the Kaiser or Novoflex shoulder stock?

What are you experiences?

Do you know another good shoulderpod for buying?

Thanks in advance

Jeroen Gense

Hi

I wanna buy the Canon EF300/4 IS AF with the 1.4 extender.

WHat about using a shoulder stock with this combination?

Is it useless because of the IS?

Thanks in advance

Jeroen Gense

Hi

I wanna buy a backpack to carry and transport my 500mm F4.5.

Is a Minitrekker a good deal for it?

Or is it too small?

Or buying a Scopable or a Domke long lens bag?

Thanks in advance

Thanks so far for your help.

What about using the 1.4 converter AND an extension tube??

Do you loose a lot a quality?

Jeroen Gense

Hi

Is there anybody who uses extension tubes with a Canon 500mm F4.5

to get closer to birds?

How close can you get with them ?

How many stops of light do you lose?

Thanks in advance

Does anybody uses the Dome blinds?

I thinks there are from the UK.

Hi everybody,

For birdphotography I made my own blind but

it4s not built very well and its heavy.

So I want to buy a new blind/hide.

A compact and light weight blind is what I need.

Anybody has experiences with blinds/hides.

What the best place to buy them in the USA or in Europe?

Thanks in advance,

Jeroen Gense

Thanks for the answers.

I think I am convinced that the B1 is well enough

to support my 500mm (3kg).

Hi,

I have the 500mm Canon EF F4.5 lens.

Is a special support needed when using this lens with a 2X converter?

Does KIrk make such support?

Thanks in advance

Jeroen Gense

I want to add on my question:

I wanna use the 1.4 and 2.0 converter.

Still good enough the B1?

Hi,

Is the Arca Swiss B1 good enough for a Canon 500mm F4.5 AF (3 kg)

or is the larger ballhead B1 G needed to support this lens?

Thanks a lot.

Jeroen Gense

OK so when the answer is Yes and the EO3 will AF above an aperture of 5.6, how accurate en fast is the AF above 5.6 ?

Maybe its so slowly that it is better to focus manually?

Shall I buy the EOS3 or a second hand EOS 1?

Thanks in advance.

Hi ,

I am a photogragpher from the Netherlands.

I am very interested in the question :

Does the eos 3 AF with the AF 500mm F4,5 and the 1.4 converter.

Do you have already experiences with it?

So yes,I really like to hear them?

I already have the AF 500mm F4,5 but I have

to buy a body.

I hope you can help me?

THanks in advance,
