Lenses / Re: EF 24-70 f/4L IS & EF 35 f/2 IS

Correct me if i'm wrong but what's the point of IS in such short focal lengths?

With the release of 24-70 f/4L IS it will be a tough choice for some to decide with the 2.8 non IS version, what do you think?

My bet is the 24-70 will be significantly better optically.  Probably sharper and better colors

I thought your weren't suppose to use super glue anywhere near a lens because the vapor destroys coatings on lens elements?

Figured it out... Can add your gps log, and then you can add all your pictures and then select

Edit --> Automatically Add Location Info --> Save

This will add the gps info to all your pictures... Though LR doesn't seem to pick up on it.

Ah yeah, I should have stated that I was using this on a 550D, so it doesn't have any means to connect to the GP-E2, so I recorded the data in logging mode.

Software & Accessories / How do I get GPS data into Lightroom

« on: September 23, 2012, 06:58:53 AM »

I have a the GP-E2 and i can see my track in the Map utility software from Canon and can export that to Google Earth, but I can't import that into Lightroom 4 because it only supports Tracklog files.  I know nothing about GPS formats and was wondering if anyone knows how I can geotag my pictures in lightroom from my tracks from my GP-E2

Canon General / Re: How many of us are making money out of photography ?

Just started getting serious with photographer last year and I'm already $10k+ in the hole with no income from photography.  Though the photographer at my wedding offered to train me how to do wedding photography and be his second shooter for the busy wedding season coming up.

definitely australian.

who gives a crap how someone says a word?

I don't mind an Australian accent placed upon English words, but he is mispronouncing a foreign cognate and as a speaker of Japanese, it irks me very much.  It was just distracting if anything.

I couldn't get over his pronunciation of Bokeh though...

I found his review a little lacking though.  Would have liked to see some low light shots or more color variation.

Lenses / Re: Canon EF 24-70 f/2.8L II Pushed Back to October?

« on: August 29, 2012, 08:47:49 AM »

kinda happy about this news, cause I was worried that this lens wouldn't ship before I went to Hawaii.  Seeing that it slipped, means I made the right decision to pick up the 24-105L instead for the time being...

Still want this lens though...

seems D800 heard the similar rumor

http://d800.org/2012/08/promo-400-off-adobe-photoshop-cs6/

It seems very fishy though... Nothing is listed on B&H's site about the deal.  And that videoguys site has some worrisome reviews.

Eric, has your item shipped/ been recieved?

yeah what's up with the Digic 4 processors?  Maybe this camera was supposed to be released last year and got hung up in production like the 1dx?

Thanx Neuro, I have mulling over Extension tubes, Teleconverters and the 500D filter lately.  You summed up the options pretty well.
