Lenses / Re: 16-35 maybe 17-40
« on: March 09, 2013, 03:28:40 PM »
Thanks so far, I do have the wide angle holder and it is nice to know it should be OK down to 17mm, only used it on my 24-105 till now.

Lenses / 16-35 maybe 17-40

I am considering one or the other mainly for landscapes, but it could be nice to have  f2.8 for the occasional indoor scene, there is a Canon cashback offer in the UK on the 16-35, still more than I would like to pay, but I have learnt in photography you have to pay for quality gear, my other concern is do these lenses vignette at wide angle especially with filters ( Cokin p system ) I would be prepared to upgrade filters over time.

Yes, some not bad insect in flight shots, but cast a look at these, http://www.pbase.com/carlogalliani/insects_in_flight, not mine but would love them to be. also if you love macro look here  http://www.dgrin.com/forumdisplay.php?f=23 You will need to go to carlos macro section and look for insects in flight.

Lenses / Filter kit
« on: December 12, 2012, 04:56:20 PM »
I would like a few filters, one to stop the sky, some for longer exposeres of waterfalls or seascapes, my main lens would be the 24-105, and would prefer something on the P system for other lenses. Budget of aprox £100, thanks,

Thanks for the info, I had not realised the 2x would be f11  :-[ any preference between the Canon or Kenko, my instinct is to go with the Canon Mk111 even if it is more expensive.

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Extenders with 5d3

Looking forward to f8 in April, I have the 100-400L and am wondering which teleconvertor to buy the 1.4 or the 2.0? Canon or Kenko?
I suspect 1.4 is the way to go but would love to hear opinions and see some images that may convince me which is best.

Regards, Alan
