It does make me even more anxious to see what Sigma and this 135mm 1.8 OS might offer.

EOS Bodies - For Stills / dpreview has a samples gallery from a pre-production SL1
« on: April 10, 2013, 10:31:05 AM »
CR guy said to pay attention to the IQ out of the new sensor and here's a first look.

The ISO64000 images look really good to me, though there is a lot of NR applied.

Street & City / Registered for Google I/O. Anyone else attending? Let's take pictures!
« on: March 13, 2013, 01:09:20 PM »
I'm staying through Sunday and wondered if any other people from this board would be there.

I'll be shooting the city while I'm there and hope to make it up to Muir Woods for some photos as well.

Technical Support / I solved my own problem, but thought I would share
« on: December 07, 2012, 12:52:44 PM »
Last night I tried tethered shooting in EOS Utility with my 5D Mark III using studio lights and a sync cord. The strobes would not fire when using Live View. They worked fine through tethered shooting with out Live View.

So, I did some digging and found that under the Live View settings you have to set Silent Shooting to Disabled in order for the body to trigger the strobes. Why? No flipping idea.

Anyway, thought the info might help someone, so I've shared.

I realize this might be common knowledge already, but I had no idea.

Lenses / Older L lens repair 400mm 2.8L II (non-IS)
« on: October 02, 2012, 01:41:28 PM »
I own the pre-IS 400mm f/2.8L II and see that it is not listed on the CPS repair eligible list. My lens is working great at the moment, but I am concerned that if the USM fails or something else goes wrong that I am going to have a very expensive paperweight. I am considering selling it while I can.

Does anyone know where I can get it serviced? Parts availability?

Canon General / New comet spotted. Will be visible to naked eye in late 2013
« on: September 26, 2012, 07:45:36 PM »
"...on 28 November 2013, current predictions are of an object that will dazzle the eye at up to magnitude —16. That's far brighter than the full Moon."

Anyone considering one of these? It seems really cool, but expensive.

5D MK III Sample Images / The moon tonight
« on: April 05, 2012, 10:01:40 PM »
Obviously, I have exaggerated the contrast. I think it's a neat look if not necessarily realistic. I used the same procedure as when I last shot the full moon in December on my Mk II. The Mk III image does show more detail, but I can't rule out tonight being clearer.

5D MK III Sample Images / National Zoo with the 5D Mk III
« on: April 02, 2012, 12:01:24 PM »
Shot with the older (mine has a 1999 date code) 400mm f/2.8L USM II and processed with Nik's ColorEfex Pro 4.

Also, I found the AF to be f*ing amazing and I am very happy with the sharpness (complaints I keep seeing on the forum).

Very impressive that the ISO score essentially matches the D4. Wow, just Wow.
