Lenses / Re: Advice 5d3, wide angle

« on: November 13, 2012, 08:34:50 PM »

I do own a few lense, and actually when I bought my 16-35 II (for an old 30D), it was doing ok. I found on my new 5D3 that it is too wide. I use it most of the time in the 24mm-35mm range. I am not sure if I would echange it for a 24L or a 35L, just because the zoom is convenient sometime. In all cases, the good/cheap 50f1.8 is really lovely on it, dont spend too much for the 50/1.2! Just FYI.

Anybody get shipping notices for today? Wasn't there supposed to be a shipment April 2nd?

I heard that too, but I thought it was rather a delivery date of someone instead of a new batch of shipment.

I still hope that they will have a "double batch" after the passover..........

At least I assume there will be another batch Thursday before the passover..

EOS Bodies / Re: Canon 5D3+GPS Receiver? VOTE!

« on: March 31, 2012, 03:59:37 PM »

I agree it would be nice to have a "built-in" GPS. However a real "GPS chip" is a bit bigger that what we see in phones. Most of the phones (i work in the telco industry) do not carry a "real" GPS, but rather an assisted-GPS which requires a cell tower to position the phone.

However, I can see cases/reasons why Canon has not done that. The first that come in my mind is when I go to Cuba. Cuba does not allow GPS device in their country. In that case, I would be so sad to leave my DLSR home when I go there. So I see more a legal issue then anything else.

Does it make sense?
