Hey guys, have anyone used the Arca Swiss monoball + Sidekick + 500mm? Any

thoughts or comment?

 

I heard about the monoball lock up. How does that happen and how to solve

that problem?

 

Thanks, Amy

cool...thanks eddie :) The pictures are great!! Also, thanks for the offer.

Hello,

would greatly appreciate it

Seems like Canon can finally address the focusing issue...errrrmmmm but it

would take another month for them to do so...

Hey, I am bring 500mm with one full frame camera and one X1.6. I would like

to get some advice. Should I also bring 24-75 or 24-105 and 70-200, 1.4x

extender and 16-25 or any prime?

 

OK this might sound stupid but I have not traveled to the USA much after 9-11

(definitely never with my 500mm); Can I carry 500mm on the plane with 2

cameras and 3-4 lenses?

 

Thanks

:( Looks like not the best time to photograph anything (or to have good health). Thanks for your info, guys..(fingers still crossed.)

Hey, just curious what you guys think is best CF card for 5D, 30D and

Xti...thanks

Hey, I have been invited to a conference in Beijing. Heard it is hot and

rainy....possibly the worst time of the year. Any advice? I would like to

photograph Great Wall, the Forbidden City and a few other iconic places.

 

Hows the lighing during this time of year? Any direct sun light can be

expected? Dramatic Clouds?

 

Thanks so much

I often use 30D as a second camera to my full frame. I like the 30d's fpc and

the 1.6x to get a different focal length to my full frame.

 

Is upgrading to 400D worth it? I am interested in the 400D due to the self

sensor cleaning system and the price. Any comment is appreciated?

It is my turn to pick up my Mark III this weekend. However, I now have some

doubts since there have been many problems posted.

 

So for those who have been using for a while (not just tested for a day or

two), do you get error, slow focusing, and camera shut down?

 

Cheers

Natural Sites around the golden rings are very beautiful (take whole day to do all the sites but I recommend stop for a night somewhere). Also if have time, go to Vatnajokul for the glacier. Villages along the way are really beautiful as well.

 

Most Importantly, Aurora Bolearis is possible in October on a clear cold night. Cheers

Grady, if you need a digital camera now and 5Dfits your budget and it offers what you need, go on and buy. I dont think there is any reason why you should anticipate what Canon will offer the next year or two. 5D is an excellent camera...when Canon releases a new camera, then you can decide if you want to upgrade.

It is confirmed to be available the 31st of May in Japan.

Looks like the 1D-Mark III is set for June as opposed to May. Any news

regarding the auto focus issue (or any other issues)? Thanks

Hey, i have 85 f1.2 which I use it quite a lot. I have not tried the II

version but I heard the auto focus is faster.

 

Now with the rabate, the upgrade seems more attractive. Any thoughts? How

about the quality of the optics with lead-free material? Compared to the I

version?

 

Thanks

I have tried a few chinese brands at even bought one. I have not been happy with the build quality. I ended up wasting more money than saving!

check out IQ lab.

cheers

By the way, I am bringing both full frame and x1.6 frame cameras with me.

Hey just wondering, for those who have both lenses, which lens you use

more.

Specifically for wild animals in yellowstone park. I am debating which to

bring. They are just so huge and heavy. Or should I bring both to not

regret? Cheers.

Also, try Akihabara in Tokyo. I find most things there.

Technically, can the autofocus issue be easily solved? (Santa, I want an early X-mas gift)

Hey thanks Manuel!!! I am a bit afraid that, being on the boat, I would not be able to take 10-15sec shots of the fireworks. So I may need to pick one or two locations. So perhaps I should be in Bonn on the 5th of May...? Thanks

Hey, have you been to Rhine in Flames? Andy tips on where is best to see

etc? What time? What city? Thanks
