Well, thanks for all the info. Didn't know that would really get the blood boiling on the list. (To be honest, I'm just happy nobody ragged on me for my typo in the flash designation--I obviously meant the 550EX.) Chip, Do you use the soft boxes/bouncers with the cinch strap? The webpage clai

hello all, it may depend on the individual lens. i have the 28-135 IS, and i have noticed that when i use it tripod mounted there are some irregularities, but they haven't affected picture quality. what i did observe was that at the point when autofocus was achieved the whole picture jerked

EOS hyperfocal calculations with the 28-135IS and an archive suggestion

2001-01-08 Thread devon derksen
i'm trying to figure out how to manually (not using the dep function on my elan II) focus to incorporate hyperfocal distances with my 28-135IS. as far as i can tell, the distance window isn't scaled to show focus distances for different f stops. do any of you have rules of thumb or handy tric

EOS predictive AF vs. AI Servo

2000-12-12 Thread devon derksen
I think we need to distinguish between AI Servo which allows for constant refocusing (focus priority) and Predictive AF which actually uses a computer to chart subject speed and direction which enables it to calculate where the object will be at the time of exposure. The latest models (like th
