    <p>Hi Catherine.</p>

    <p>Like some have said here...flash is also good for outdoor photography to be used as a filler of light. Once you get used to using it outside you will miss it when you don't use it. I'll see if I can upload a few examples but I'm sure you can find them on the web flash vs. non-flash outdoors.</p>

    Please guys, help me choose an additional lens!

    <p>I have not read all the responses from the others but I can tell you the following. I own the 50MM 1.2L and if I had to buy it again I would. The lens is very heavy but worth carrying around. The bokeh it produces is just phenomenal! So sharp too. I also own the macro 100mm 2.8L IS. Amazing piece of glass. Big upgrade from the previous version. </p>

    <p>Lastly...looking at your kit I would go for the 50mm 1.2L to use as my main portrait lens.</p>

    best prime & zoom lenses for 5D MK II

    <p>Tim,</p>

    <p>I had the 50MM 1.8 and later shelled out the cash for the 1.2 and TO ME the difference is night and day. Much nicer bokeh and much sharper image. If I had to do this again I would do it without even thinking about it twice. If you have the money...go for it!<br>

    I also use the kit lens (24-105 4L) quite extensively. This lens gets a lot of use from me as it is my main one. The 50mm I pop on when I am doing portraits or I am in a low light situation.</p>

    <p>Hope my comment was of some help to you.</p>

    Help with 580EX II settings (photos included)

    in Canon EOS Mount

    Posted

    <p>Hello all.</p>

    <p>This is driving me crazy and I can't figure out a setting to make this work.</p>

    <p>This is what I am shooting with: 5DMII, 580EX II, PocketWizard Plus II Transceiver.</p>

    <p>The first photo was shot:<br>

    Manual<br /> Shutter: 320<br /> Aperture: 4.0<br /> ISO: 250<br /> <br /> Flash: manual (no custom settings just set to manual)</p>

    <p><img src="http://i46.tinypic.com/1zgt3pi.jpg" alt="" /></p>

    <p>Second photo:<br>

    Manual<br /> Shutter: 200<br /> Aperture: 4.0<br /> ISO: 250<br /> <br /> Flash: manual (no custom settings just set to manual)</p>

    <p><img src="http://i48.tinypic.com/123uyk9.jpg" alt="" /></p>

    <p>Is there a setting on the flash or camera that will allow me to shoot in high shutter speeds and not having that black bar at the bottom appear? I know it has something to do with curtain etc and I'm being lazy this Saturday afternoon. I have my photo books down in the basement hehehehe don't want to make the trip down.</p>

    <p>Thanks all in advance for your feedback.</p>

    5DMKII - Will they replace it for me?

    <p>Paul,</p>

    <p>I'd think they would replace the camera but that is in an ideal world. I had a problem with a faulty dell laptop and they sent a tech out about 10 times before I got a new one. So keep on sending it in. Eventually, I hope they will give you one that works. You'd think that since we shell out so much money for this camera they would just replace it. It is sooooo irritating!</p>

    5D II Pricing and Availability

    <p>Sam,</p>

    <p>Not to say what you are saying isn't true but I picked up a 5DMII kit a few weeks ago and prior to that watched the price for two months at B&H. The only price I saw was always 2,699 for the body and 3,499 for the kit. Even when it was back-ordered.</p>
