<p>The 7D's flash has three setting: ETTLll, manual and multi-flash. The manual setting allows user to adjust the power output (like you would on a speedlight). Does this mean that the flash won't emit a preflash thus enabling it to be used to optically trigger studio slaves? </p>

 

<p>Sigma 10-20mm is only $479. It has HSM, I have one one of these. Very sharp lens but plagued by copy variations.</p>

<p>The wider it gets the more expensive it becomes. You're paying for 15mm of width.</p>

<p>thanks jerry</p>

<p>does anyone the colour temp of the 400BX's. Thanks.</p>

<p>where must lens height be in relation to the model when shooting a full length shot. thanks. </p>

<p>I want to setup a few Nikon SB26's (has in-built slave) and a few Vivitar HV285's (with Wein peanuts) as studio flashes. I will trigger them all with a manual shoe mounted flash on my Canon 50D set at lowest power. I want to use the lightest and smallest flash to do this as it will have no influence on the lighting. Even using a 430ex makes the camera too unwieldy. Any suggestions please. </p>

<p>I have the 50D and recently bought the original 5D. I was disappointed with it's clunky performance. Compared to the quick 50D I found the 5D to have a noticeable shutter lag and a slow burst. Consequently I sold the camera.<br>

Looking at the 5D markll it's burst is only slightly better. Is it's performance as clunky as the 5D? Is the slower performance an anomaly of full frame?</p>

<p>After further testing I've concluded that this only happens when I use flash..and I am shooting on P mode well within max sync.</p>

<p>My new 5D is giving me half a picture whenever I just start shooting. After a few frames the problem goes away. I've ensured that when using flash (430ex or 580ex) that I'm well within max sync speed. In fact this attachment was taken at 1/60, f/5.6 with a 28-105 USM. What can I do?</p><div></div>

<p>I've just ordered a new PC but not the LCD screen just yet. I'd like widescreen but the technician said that any photo would be forced to stretch and I should consider a normal 4:3 LCD screen instead. Is this true? My graphics card is a NVidia Geforce gtx260 (black edition).</p>

had it, sold it after a month. Rather try the 18-200, though no usm its a better lens optically.

I have to take a shot of a model's long hair blowing in the wind. Need help on a good fan to get this effect.

no reviews out yet, could you post your samples and opinion please?

Does this lens rotate when focusing.

Chantal I understand your budget constraints and you can do weddings with one of those lenses if you are going to

use flash a lot and if your venue is well lit. Perhaps the Canon 18-200. To get the best portraits buy a 50mm f1/8, it's

cheap but that will give really nice blurred backgrounds. For flash I'd suggest a used 420EX.

$700 and no USM? I'm skipping this one.

Tight budget portait zoom with great range is 28-135 IS USM.

I'm not happy. I have Canon 28-135, 100-400, 70-300, 50 f/1.8. Would have liked an IS L lens to cover a similar field the way the 24-105 does on a 5D.

Hi, I'd like some suggestions of good photo albums from Ebay stores. Thanks.

Thanks Richard. The eye did come out very sharp and at 400mm. The hi-lights on the feathers do look a bit clipped.

thanks but colour profile was wrong so let me try again<div></div>

Hi I take my pics in SRGB and keep the same profile in PS. My pics are vibrant but when I post them, such as

here, the colours are all wrong. Whats going on?<div></div>

I have to say that I'm very pleased at the maturity of this forum. In other forums I'm quite used to being met with a fierce roasting with the mere mention of the Canon word. I really love the spec (and reviews) of the D300 but I'm sticking with my Canon 40D and 100-400USM for now until theres theres some consesus of a fast equivalent lens from Nikon. I don't think that I'm a talented photographer just yet so I'm quite camera & lens reliant at the moment.<div></div>

To answer some of your qustions the 40D's af points too far apart for tracking as Kerry mentioned. I do however find the 40D AF speed blazingly fast with the 100-400 USM and AF in very dim light achievable, just a pity Canon didn't follow the D300's example.
