EOS Bodies / HELP PLEASE: CANON 5D II - ISO in "M" mode

« on: December 07, 2011, 09:26:48 PM »

Hi guys,
I'm borrowing a 5D II from a friend. I was shooting in "M" mode with 50mm f1.4 lens.

I set the aperture at f2 and shutter speed at 80-125 and Auto ISO, for some reason the ISO always stay at 400 - pix came out way under (-2) under low light.

So I manually select ISO to 800, the pix seems fine. I thought by selecting Auto ISO the camera will select ISO for operator.

Question: It's normal? or not for 5D II.

Thanks
Dylan

Lenses / Lens Filter for 70-200mm f2.8 IS II

« on: December 03, 2011, 05:07:30 PM »

Hi Guys,
Thanks to jhubson1 for the $400 of saving on a new 70-200mm f2.8 IS II lens.

To be honest...this is my first "L" lens purchase as Brand New. All my other lenses were purchased used, but I do like them all.

I need a filter for this lens. The main reason I need a filter is to protect the front glass from dust and scratches - and YES the lens hood will be attached to the lens.

I don't want to loose alot of light due to the filter.

Any suggestion guys?

Thank you,
Dylan

Lenses / Canon 28mm f1.8

« on: November 17, 2011, 09:02:09 AM »

Hi guys,
Last weekend, I picked up a used canon 28mm f1.8 for $310 on Craigslist. The lens was purchasd new from BH on march,2010. Lens condition is like new, sale includes original receipt, box, blank warranty card, etc...

Seller didn't want to give away the filter that he bought for this lens. He asked for additional $60 for the filter, but I said no.

So far, I love this lens - it works great on my 60d, indoor low light, no flash.

1. Question- I need a filter for my 28mm, more like lens protector. Any suggestion? Please keep it under $30.

2. Question - I need a bag to fit my gear - like a backpack style. Any suggestion? Please keep it under $100.

This is my amature gear:
60d - will upgrade if/whenever 5d III comes out
70-200 f2.8 IS version I
24-105
50 f1.4
28 f1.8
580ex

Thanks
Dylan
