<p>Can anyone see the price of a new 5D mark ii eventually dropping below £1,000?</p>

That would be my ideal set up; a 5D II and 17 TS-E, but I just can't afford it atm.</p>

I haven't tryed stitching but I wan't to; I've been shown a very usefull technique whereby you use a tilt-shift lense portrait way up and shift it along from the same position 3 times ie. left middle and right and then you can achieve a seemless stitch and a huge digital file to work with. The only troulble is I don't have a tilt-shift lens :(<br>

Yes i'm shooting full-frame for a landscape project I'm doing using a Nikon D3X (not mine, i'm a student and rent it out for free from uni) I just need a wide angle tilt-shift lens.</p>

 

<p>I'm guessing that by messing with selective hue/saturation etc you can achieve a similar feel to large/medium format?</p>

<p>This may seem like a strange question...<br>

Does anyone know how to achieve that large format colour feel from a dslr file in post processing/photoshop? I really like the look of large format colour work and am desperate to achieve a similar kind of look from my digital files, any help would be much appreciated.</p>

<p>I have a 7D and am thinking of selling my EF-S 17-55mm 2.8 and buying a EF 16-35mm 2.8 in anticipation of eventually going full-frame (when the 5D mk iii comes out). Does anyone have experience of both lenses, and is there much difference in IQ?</p>

<p>I wonder if the 1Ds Mk III will now drop in price and if so by how much?</p>

<p>Michael, The only improvements i'm looking for are FF and durability.</p>

<p>Scott: My current lens' are, ef-s 17-55mm 2.8 (which obviously i would have to sell), EF 70-200mm 4 is, and EF 50mm 1.4. I am currently doing a photojournalism degree with the view to pursuing a career as a press photographer, so I mainly only display my images on screen, but I do sometimes like to print.</p>

<p>I currently have a canon 7D, which is a great camera but at some point I will be looking at upgrading to full-frame. At this point I could sell my 7D and be able to afford a 1Ds Mark II (used), my question is; how much of a better camera would I be getting over my current 7D?</p>

<p>Why not just lower the price of the 60D?</p>

<p>It's the audacity of it, it's pretty much the exact same camera as the 550D and 60D, I really can't see why anyone would buy it.</p>

With the 500D, 550D & 60D already available, I can't work out: what’s the point of the Canon EOS 600D

<p>Has to be 2.8 for low light work.</p>

<p>I want to get a wide angle lens for my 7D which also performs well in low light, after a bit of research the 2 best options seem to be the Canon EF 14mm f/2.8L and the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8PRO. So I was just wondering if anyone has any experience of these lenses, as I haven’t yet tried out either of them. Also is the much higher cost of the Canon EF 14mm f/2.8L worth it?</p>

<p>Also alot ofpeople have been mentioning the 24-70 which is a great lens, but in my experience just not wide enough on a crop sensor, hope this helps.</p>

<p>For my money THE best lens for the 7D is the ef-s 17-55mm 2.8 it's the one i reach for most and IQ is second to none.</p>

<p>Just a quick question. Has anyone got any experience of buying used equipment from the London Camera Exchange?, as I've got my eye on a particular lens which is available at a very good price, i was just wondering what they are like to deal with? i.e. are they helpfull if you need to send an item back for refund etc.</p>

<p>Thanks Nadine, looking through your photos they are high quality shots, and i'm greatfull for your response. Other than gear, have you got any general advice/tips on shooting a wedding? would be much appreciated.</p>

<p>It isn't in a church but will be indoors (registry office), I guess it would be good to have the option of shooting some shots with available light.</p>

<p>I have been asked to photograph a wedding, this will be my first wedding. I have a canon 7D, 17-55mm f/2.8 lens, and a 580 speedlite. I am also willing to hire another lens (possibly an L prime). My question, to people who have experience of shooting weddings, is what would be the right lens to hire?</p>

<p>My current setup is a 7D and 17-55mmIS lens, and for my next investment i want to get a quality longer focal length zoom i was looking into the 70-200, but i was wondering what people think of the 28-300. Plus': it's more versatile and would mean i wouldn't have to change lenses as much for close up or wider shots. So does anyone have any experience of using this lens, and if so what's it like?</p>

<p>To answer your question william, just one, a 17-55mm 2.8 IS.</p>

<p>I'm studying photojournalism, and currently enjoy shooting demonstrations and protests among other things, I know the F4IS will be good in these situations (with plenty of light). But could i getaway with shooting at F4 when covering low light sport events? I guess that's the dilema.</p>

<p>If it helps i have a 7D.</p>
