I just went to check my 3 regarding this issue. I noticed it when doing multi-exprs. it lagged after 6 shots then continued to shoot the last 3 shots in multi shot mode. I just changed the settings to no high ISO NR, no Highlight TP, no long exp NR. same lag after six shots ( 9 shots H spd shutter).
I changed to 8 shots, the same 7 ditto, six no lag. i thought it VERY DARN STRANGE!
how can you shoot a 9 frame multi-shot when this lags like so.
before the storm I planned to call canon and exercise my CPS rights ( lol), but i will hit them on the jack as soon as i can.

I had that image in my mind i saw of a gymnast taking to the pummel horse during the Olympics that a photog got. PERFECTLY CAPTURED 4 images of her in one frame on the approach and making hand contact with the horse ( me yelling to my wife that my cam does that!!! her saying yeah baby , i know).
btw I use Sandisk extreme pro 90mb 32gig cards- nada in the second card slot

Software & Accessories / Re: "Best" budget filters?

« on: October 18, 2012, 05:18:57 PM »

Once upon a time I had a tiffen filter on the end of one of my first lenses, and have since removed it now that I know a lot more about photography and saw how awful it looked even on the LCD screen.

Now, I find myself often photographing children and dogs and am thinking a UV filter might again be a good idea, especially now that I know not all UV filters are made equal.

I don't have any L glass yet, so I don't see a reason to spend upwards of $50 on any filter for a long time. In fact, my best lens is the EF 85 f/1.8 (and soon to be accompanied by the EF 28 f/1.8 ) and will be my best lens until I can save up for a full-frame and better justify sticking some fancy glass onto my camera.

So anyway, is this filter high-quality enough that I can spend less than $50 and not notice a difference in IQ?

I've heard good things about B&W thusfar. I know that the cost of replacing the front element of these lenses is likely the same price as the filter (or less) but at this stage in my business I can't afford the time to have the lens fixed. These kids are ruthless.

true story,

my neighbor on day asked if i thought that filters made better pics or helped in any way with photography and does it make since to buy them. I walked to my car to get my camera bag and show him the kinds i used and while showing my neighbor the filter i had on the 85mm 1.8 i used to own and explaining the importance of their protection aspect i dropped it! he expressed what was between a gaggle and a groan. after i shouted aw sh*t i reached down and saw the filter had cracked and taken ALL of the head on brunt of the impact. the glass was 100 still!

that was in fact a Tiffen. but as per your post, I do see the IQ difference from a lesser cost filter and ones better made, especcially with CIR-PL's. I now use B+W on all my glass. i feel you MUST have them. the protection alone can be worth the cost ;-)

Software & Accessories / Re: The best Calibration system for screen to print?

« on: October 18, 2012, 05:04:08 PM »

1. You should only need to calibrate your monitor.
2. The lab should be able to give you a profile for the developer that will take care of matching your calibrated monitor to the calibrated developing process.
3.  The type of paper being used also has an effect so you need a profile that matches the developing process and the paper. 


I've used a Colormunki to calibrate my monitors and profile my inkjet printer, when I've sent stuff to the local photo shop I just use their profile for the type of paper I want.

+1

I use x-rite ColorMunki and the profile of the labs i use. i also found that working in srgb while soft proofing in light room does very well and there is no need to profile for any one lab then.
