Sigma 70-200/2.8 APO EX HSM for EOS-3

2002-10-04 Thread Alex Zabrovsky
Hi. Are there any potential compatibility issues I may encounter once coupling the EOS-3 body to Sigma 70-200/2.8 APO EX HSM ? Also, does their HSM allow FTM just like USM-equipped lenses ? Would also be interested to hear Sigma users opinion about this lens, coupled to EOS-3 or similar. What abo

It also can be useful for determining a nodal point for centering your camera over your tripod heads axis of rotation if you want to be exact when assembling several photos into a panorama. > > It's a holdover from the days when people in studios, ... > > It's a holdover from the days when to be

The Canon EF (the old FD camera) had a very easy to use mirror lock up feature, you could set the self timer then when you pushed the shutter button the mirror locked up and ten seconds later the shot was taken and the mirror came back down. Mike * *** **

It's a holdover from the days when people in studios, or who were doing critical close-up work, tried to achieve precision focus by measuring the distance from the subject to the film plane with a tape measure and then setting the lens accordingly, rather than using a built-in focusing facility in

Hello again, I have another curiosity: what's the use of the sign that shows where the film plane is? I mean the circle crossed by a horizontal line, located on the top of the camera, near the flash housing. Yes, I understand that it shows exactly where the film is located, but why would I need
