Lenses / 17-40mm F/4 L or 16/35mm F/2.8 L I

« on: November 22, 2012, 10:31:08 AM »

I'm thinking about buying a used WA lens. In your opinion, for almost the same price would you take the 17-40 F/4 L or the 16-35 F/2.8 L I. The 5D mark III would be the body to go with...

EOS Bodies - For Stills / 5D mark III or 7D and 5D mark II

« on: November 20, 2012, 07:55:03 AM »

I'm looking to upgrade my photo gear for wildlife photography. Would you buy a 5D mark III to complete my 40D or for the almost same price buy a 7D and 5D mark II (and sell my 40D) ?

Low light situations in european and tropical forests are the places where i'll take my pictures...

Lenses / Canon 5D mark III + 300 2.8 L IS I

« on: November 12, 2012, 05:04:41 AM »

Hi guys,

what do you think about putting a 300 2.8 L IS I on a 5D mark III for wildlife photography in the tough conditions of the tropical forests ?

Have you tested this combination ? with which results ? Do you think i still can have good results with the TC 1.4 III with this combination ?

thanks, Vincent

Lenses / lenses for neotropical rainforest

« on: January 04, 2012, 10:48:51 AM »

What do you think if i buy this two lenses for my future trips in neotropical rainforest.

Canon lenses 300mm F/4 L IS  for mammals, birds and some of snake species and the 100 F/2.8 L IS for snakes and frogs, one on a 40D body and the other one on a 7D Body...

I hope for a new version of the 300mm F/4 L IS this year but it seems unlikely.

Thanks, Vincent
