Hi all, I do apologise for the bit of confusion, it does vary from country to country, what I previously wrote applies to Australia Canon customers. One thing I do find interesting is that Canon Australia accepts warrantee from international purchases. That just makes it a whole lot easier on the

I had the same problem with the large eye-cup for the 50E & EOS3. It was particularly bad last summer when I was travelling, and needed the better side-light shielding. If I hadn't attached it to the strap lug with a short thread I guess I could have lost it 20 times over in half the number of d

Hi Alex, Personally, I just remove the eyecups, but I wear glasses and it lets me see more of the viewfinder display (I use a D30 and eos 3 though, not an elan 7). But I am responding just to say, *don't use superglue*...it can cause fogging on the viewfinder glass just from the fumes from the d

Re: EOS Non shiftable DEPTH mode (with DOF button pressed)

I know that the DOF button has little to do with DEP mode. However it seems that pressing the DOF button makes DEP shiftable with some EOS cameras. Not so with 1V. Yesterday I went a little further. After I had my 2 DEP points I put the lens im MF mode. Result: the f-stop is not shiftable. There
