EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: 6D accessories?

« on: May 16, 2013, 02:40:04 PM »

Hi,

just quickly... I bought something like this (ebay search something like: shoulder sling strap dslr) for a few bucks (cca. 5euro) and am very happy with it, it took some while to trust it, but I walked quite a few days with it and never found it even a bit loosened up (though I still leave my hand on/around it anyway), it sits nicely on the hip, is quick to raise up and with the soft neoprene like shoulder pad, it was comfy even for four days of city walking on my shoulder that was after a relatively recent surgery

as for the grip, I went for a third party one, it smelled a bit, the feel of the rubber is a bit different to the cameras rubber, but it works, stays screwed tight and so on... there is a discussion on it here http://www.canonrumors.com/forum/index.php?topic=12515.0 but now, after a while, I can only tell you that I like the handling with the grip on the camera, so let me just say (but mind that its just my subjective advice) get a grip, whether original or not I leave up to you...

isn't this naming a bit reversed (?), I thought that with same number of digits, the smaller is for the higher (more pro, etc) series (1D>5D>6D), however it seems that the new rebels 700 is > than "mini rebels" 100 ... if that's what it is going to be called in some markets

... not that that is the important part of the news, I just thought... nevermind...

Lenses / Re: USED: Sigma 150-500mm f/5-6.3

« on: March 18, 2013, 05:56:17 AM »

There is no IS is there?

no, but there is OS 

besides that, I'm not sure what you want to hear and I have no experience with this lens, but from what I read its optically not as good as an equivalent prime or canon 100-400 zoom, specially at the longer end... however its also a 500mm on a budget and has the flexibility of a zoom... so depending on whether you need that and the 500mm, either go for it or look at a used canon 100-400 / 400mm (no IS on that one) / or maybe 300 (if is not too short... in which case you could add 1.4x tc later)

The sun sets behind Ailsa Craig on the firth of Clyde, Turnberry lighthouse in foreground.
7D + 100 f2

I like the composition, it reminded me that too often when i take picture of this kind, I come home and find out that there is some annoyance like that in this case for example, the sea horizon would touch the lower part of the lighthouse, or the top of the hill on the right would just touch the horizontal line of clouds, etc... and then I can not not see it... and I havent noticed this kinda thing on your picture
