Hello Harrison,
Things have been great in Bangkok - it's been 2 1/2 years now since we left
Katmandu. But all good things must come to an end and it is time to pack up
and move on again - this time it looks like it will be the west coast of
Canada for a while. Parents are getting older
Whenever I am unhappy with my shots I usually find that I am unhappy
over 95% of the time because they are not sharp(here I would have liked
to have IS) -(I use non-IS L lenses/tripod/mlu/release, sometimes with
a 1.4X) and only less than 5% of the time because of the exposure.

I hust got a second hand LN (with warranty cards etc) 420Ex Speedlite. I
also have a 550Ex. I am doing indoor dance photography and also will use it
for portraits.
There was a talk about the new Sigma 500 Super, and it seems like a great
flash with all capabilities of 550ex. I can sell this 420

It was my first and possibly last time I go to a Ritz. I normally go to a
good local camera shop. I just happened to be within a short walk of Ritz
and wanted to see if they carried anything good.
Btw, has anybody tried the Tamron 28-200 Super yet? I'm just wondering if
its a good quality lens

This is extremely tedious and difficult in the field . . . usually impossible for
fidgety subjects. IS results in more "keepers" even with lenses that are never meant

But do you have the manuals for the canisters?
The lids can be tricky sometimes. :-)

I happen to have a box full of film boxes and canisters. Some of the

Hi Gary,
I recently bought a new 70-200mm 2.8L without the IS. I knew that the IS
version was hitting the streets at the time I was about to purchase. I've
been taking some pictures using handholding at bright light conditions and
IS seems to be a moot point for this particular lens.

Well it depends from what kind of photography you're involved in.
When I take landscapes I use no automatic at all. This is because I'd like
to have full control over creating photos. And when taking landscapes I
usually have lots of time to do that manually. I really don't like the
camera makes
