Last month I was in several European countries and shot about 45 rolls
of slide film (100F, Velvia). One of my favorite and best pictures is of
the Lincoln Cathedral in Lincoln England. I used my EOS 3, 17-35L, and
Fuji Provia 100F film.
It's a dusk shot, with the warm light bathing the front of
Derek-I do similar work and have been very happy with my bogen 3211 and 3047
head. I also do medium format work and this tripod has been very sturdy for
that system also. Additionally, it is pretty light--not like a carbon
tripod, but not bad to carry around.
Good luck.

I'm looking to get a good tripod for my EOS 3, and 70-200L. I also have
the 17-35L, and 28-70L. I'm also thinking of getting the PB-E2.
I saw the new Bogen 3001Pro and 3021Pro, and they look very nice. I'm
leaning towards the 3021Pro because of it's higher max height. What type
of ball goes well

I think to a large degree, it depends upon the specific lens. Like other
manufactures, Sigma has some dogs but they also have s
I have read many messages about getting the A2 to Eos 5 upgrade. What
exactly does the new exposure display look like. Is it the -2 through +2
with half stops like the elan 2 or what? Just thinking about upgrading and
want to find out.
Thanks

Okay. Sorry to keep harping on about this, but there seems so much
damned conflicting information about this...
It's been mentioned here several times that cameras such as the
Rebel II S are a bad choice for infrared, because the pressure plates
on these cameras all have cutouts for date

Yes, but you can extend the distance a bit by using a flash
extender. Check the archives for info on those.

If I you had to choose one extension tube, which one and why?

Hi,
I just bought a 550ex and wonder if it is possible to use it with my
300 2.8L (on an EOS 3)?
Any problem because of the hood?
The usable distance is probably the same as with a 105 mm?
TIA,
logan

I have grown tired of buying filters for each of the Canon (keeping on

Perhaps the greatest reason for my reluctance to buy an EOS 7 is its AF
assist system. I often find myself taking pictures in low light and am
frustrated when AF (Maxxum 600 and Elan IIe) have trouble finding and
keeping focus. There is only so much that any system can do, but I wonder
which cam

that there were no telephoto for wildlife/bird options that went beyond my

bite the bullet and go at least halfway in expense. I bought a Ca

The big tele's that the CF-19 works on are only those with the AF Stop
buttons on the lens barrel. They are only on 300f2.8 and bigger as I
understand.

Many people have reported Sigma to be less-than-satisfactory when it comes to
build-quality...

Hi,
Anybody on the list, who had problems with the Sigma EX 2xConverter?
Yesterday I went out shooting, and when I took out my Converter, I

optics and the barrel. Very interesting to see a converter from the
inside :-(
