EOS kirkphoto focus rail ?

7;ve never used one of these though so thought I'd see if someone had any comments about it. I hope this isn't off topic for EOS list. Its a photography equipment question for use with EOS stuff I guess. -- Phillip Moore http:

EOS anyone use Brightscreen focus screens?

th interchangeable screen, so I'm thinking about getting one of these. I do have some trouble focusing with the included screen, perhaps my eyes aren't so good. :-) Here is a link to what I'm talking about: http:// www.brightscreen.com/styles.html Thanks for any input! --

I don't have a 5D yet, so I can't say what it is there, but I"m sure it's there. It is a CF on the 5D as well, but my 5D shipped with 1/3 stops enabled by default. You can chose to change it to 1/2 if you want. -- Phillip Moore http:

Heh, well, my camera is off to the service center now. I always thought myself to be mechanically inclined, but perhaps not optics inclined. My focus screen got back into the camera, but was scratched to heck from where my tweezers were holding onto it. Obviously that was a mistake in h

Thanks! When you push those clips to the side, do they stay pushed? or snap back? I want to make sure I understand how I'm going to get the screen back in before I take it out. -pdm On Aug 24, 2005, at 12:58 PM, Mr. Bill wrote: Yes, there are two little clips towards the lens side of th

I have a spot on my focus screen. It seems to be on the back side of it, ie the side I can't reach with my 'sensor swipe' thing. I've cleaned off the front of the screen, but the spot persists. Is there any way I can take this off and clean it short of sending it into Canon? I can't i

Whoops, I failed to mention I'm doing digital. I currently have a Canon 10D, it has the 1.6x crop. Thanks for your insights. What do you use for your 2nd main light? When I'm thinking macro I'm thinking 'out in the field' mostly hiking around, but I guess I can bring specimens back to

Re: EOS 350D mirror sound

2005-03-17 Thread Phillip Moore
I know my 1ns are considerably louder then my parent's Elan. The 1ns have a sharp high-pitched noise. It's kind of strange that a professional camera performs worse then a consumer camera in that regard. Maybe the mirror on the 1n is heavier and more importantly moves faster. Just guessing... I

EOS 550EX activation by built-in flash possible?

2005-03-02 Thread Phillip Moore
I recently took a workshop from my local photo club where the workshop instructor suggested he used a really old flash to light his backgrounds. It apparently was activated just by the flash light of his main flash and not by any fancy wireless activity. Right now I only have a single 550EX to

This doesn't meet your metal connector criteria but I have enjoyed using my "Pro Camera Strap" from Op/Tech. It has quick release snaps that allow the shortened straps to connect together so you can carry it in one hand with them and it has a very comfortable neck strap. http://tinyurl.co
