Hi guys & gals!
Does anybody have experience about using the 550EX or rather 420EX flashes
with umbrellas or softboxes (like the ones from Elinchrom for example)?
What are your findings?
What I'm thinking about is a small (very small) home studio kind of setup
with one 550EX and 420EX flash (or
Hi all:
I just got my EOS D30 and I'm about as excited as a kid in a toy store. I'm
just getting to know this thing, but the first few grab shots around the
office look nice.
I like the camera's user interface. I find it very easy to view and discard
photos. The zoom feature is pretty cool, too.
It means it contains optics that magnify the the chosen lens' focal length
by a factor of 1.4. Hence a 100mm lens becomes a 140mm. A 50mm becomes a
70mm.

I'm interested to know if anyone has used the Novoflex EOS lens
reverser. Has a ring which attaches to the back (now front) of the
lens, and transmits all lens info to the body. Claims 1:7 with a
28-105mm lens. Very interesting!
I see also that Canon themselves make a "macro coupler" - called
NObody's done this?? I have now found I think four brands of
adapters, including Canon's own for using FD lenses on EOS bodies.
Bower, General Brand, Canon, and Kenko. The Kenko says it's a 1.4x
adapter?? Not sure what that means. I'm intrigued by the
possibilities...

I guess the only logical way to calculate the distance by using the light
will be to measure the time it needs to travel from one point to another.
Now the range of the subject distance from camera will be from 0.5 m to 54 m
(in case of 540ez) which translates to 1 m to 108 m in terms of the dista

I have a 300mm F4 L for sale. Absolute mint condition. Comes with fitted
hard case and factory packaging.
I also have a Canon EF 1.4x teleconverter for sale. MINT + lens pouch and
factory packaging.
I am their sole owner and all the equipment has been extremely well cared
for. Either can be sold

Speaking of TTL flash and metering off the film - I've occasionally
wondered whether it's possible if differences in the reflective
quality of different film formulations might cause differences in
flash metering. I've never heard of this being a problem, though.

I wonder:
If the A-TTL sensor reads from the surface of the film, how could it read
the pre flash? Moreover, how come the pre flash is fired only when the flash
is directed towards the subject to calculate the distance, when this
information can be fed by the lens (sort of Nikon's D-TTL)?

Hello List,
Last week I used a roll of Ilford 400 film (B&W) in my EOS50, with EF
75-300 4-5,6 USM lens and Speedlite 380EX. The result was quite good but
I noticed something on prints. Most of prints are exactly black and
white but some are a little brown. I hope you understand how I mean.
