Nick, I can offer answers to some of your questions, unfortunately I've no
experience with the 1n-RS. I did own a 1N, and found the build quality to be
the same between it and the 3 (which I presently own).
ECF is much as you say, loved or hated with little middle ground. It works

G'day Don,
Oh drats, I meant to say camera shake, not shame. :)
I've got to say, the petal hood on the 70-200 2.8L just makes this lens so
big, and most people are not used to seeing these large lenses pointing at
them after a staple of handheld auto everything compacts.

THe results are awestrucking. Do any of you know if there are other cheaper
lenses in the EF family that have the possibility to render backgrounds the

Friends,
Has there been any discussion as to which is the better 14mm f/2.8 lens,
the Sigma
or the Tamron? I notice that the Sigma is a few hundred dollars less
and has a
better Photodo rating. How about build quality, compatibility, and
other things?
Thanks.

But since you used the same subject line it still shows up threaded

To correctly expose the moon, you don't need a long exposure. Remember, it
is illuminated by the sun. Not exactly sunny 16, but moony 11 should get
you in the ballpark. That should mean with 100 ISO film, you can set 1/400
at F5.6.

The Sigma 24-70 sounds very interesting, with constant large 2.8 aperture,
