Hi, I have a question since I am not as familar with Canon EOS bodies as much as I am with my older Olympus gear. I have an opportunity to pick up a modified Canon 400mm FD 2.8 that has been set up to shoot with a (EOS) T-mount . I have read that with some tele-converters on some EOS bodies, t

Hi there, I'm about to take the plunge and buy a Canon D-60. No questions about it really, but I'll have to upgrade my old flash (430ez) to the 550ex. When using my old 430ez off-camera with older 10s bodies, I find it performs flawlessly. The only reason I'm upgrading is to maintain compatibi

I've got the 100-300 and I'm very happy with it, especially for the price. I paid about $200 three years ago, and it's never let me down. I agree that it could be a bit sharper when it's near 300mm, but I've never noticed anything that would make an image unsellable, in my opinion. The only pr

I have owned both lenses and currently use the 75-300 IS. The 100 to 300mm is internal focusing (non- rotating front barrel), and this produces much faster focusing. It is also easier to use with a polarizer. The 75 to 300mm is less expensive, except for the IS function, which really does work
