EOS-30 and 550EX

2002-02-25 Thread R Sriram
Greetings, Just got my EOS-30 and battery pack last Sunday. I'm thinking of upgrading my flash (380EX) since I shoot indoors quite a bit, and the AF assist light only covers the centre focusing point. Since the 550EX covers all 45 FPs on the EOS-3/1V, am I right in assuming its AF assist will wo

Hi Karen, A projected grid would be nice, though it might be kind of distracting (and maybe a little blinding...). I did some tests when I put in my grid screen, and I actually don't think you really lose any light, except perhaps in special situations. I tested using the cameras meter by putti

Oh, in addition to my last post about the light loss (or lack thereof), I did want to mention that the more clear "pop" into and out of focus might actually make it easier for you, Rick, to see the image. The older technology screens also tend to have better contrast. Mike Rick Huber wrote:
