Re: EOS [OT] CF Monopod question

Don't know if this helps, but I bought a Leki Sierra hiking pole that can double as a monopod. It's reasonably lightweight, though doesn't telescope down to as short a length as most photographic monopods. However, if you go hiking it may be of value. - Neil K. -- t e l a computer co

What's with the rumors about the D30 now being unavailable? What will happen to the pricing now that the rebate period is concluded? Just when I'm nearing a time when I can bite the bullet and go digital, the product line changes. Something new available soon?? Grant W. Westerson *

EOS For sale: Sigma 70-200 2.8 APO EX HSM

2002-02-10 Thread Bob Markey II
I've decided to bite the bullet and go with L glass, so I'm selling my 1.5-plus-year-old Sigma 70-200 2.8 APO EX HSM. This lens is rated nearly as good as the Canon version (3,9 versus 4,1), at a much cheaper price. My lens is optically and mechanically excellent, having returned from Sigma servi

2002-02-10 Thread Mark Blackwell
Well Im considering buying an 80 200 2.8L for my EOS 1. I know that this lens does not not work with the current L converter built by Canon. Photodo rates this lens at a 4.2, but how much will it suffer if you put a 2x converter behind it? Is there a way to get a simular rating with a converter

EOS [OT] CF Monopod question

2002-02-10 Thread Nick Taylor
I've decided that I really need a lightweight monopod, and now I need some advice. It looks as though there are three 'pods that fill the bill: Slik 380, Bogen 3449, and Gitzo G1568. Any experience and/or opinions? What makes the Gitzo sell for about US$100 more than the US$120 Slik and Bogen?

Hi, There is a worrying misunderstanding that DEP and A-DEP mode are calculated using Circle of Confusion and Depth-of-field data. The modes are apparently implemented using defocus information at the sensor plane, and use a "guestimate" that the best DOF occurs at 7/17 between the near and the

What many of you seem to be forgetting in the latest edition of this thread is that A-DEP mode is basically provided for use with zoom lenses, on which it is virtually impossible to incorporate DoF scales. Also it is clear that others don't really understand why or how A-DEP does what it does. T
