Seems like this technology could be the next step. Looks easy enough to implement.

I bought some neophrere pouches from ebay for those times i need some extra protection. Ok quality. Not as good as local retail but good enough for the purpose.

I find it both funny and sad that the first thought is to blame Windows.

Hey, could someone please help me determine the production date of this lens? It's the 16-35L II I'm about to buy used, but I can't figure how to read the code:

Google.  Canon lens date code and select the first hit.

If you are buying in Canada with Canadian $ you are probably price neutral by buying locally.

Me so sad. I was hoping that it might be a worthy consideration to the canon.  Anyone else noted the bulbous front lens element?

Awesome guys....

This just tells me Canon has lots of tech to make crazy good sensors. Imagine if this tech was applied to full frame sensors.....

Lenses / Re: I need a 24mm focal lenght Lens.. is the 24mm f2.8 IS right for me?

« on: April 16, 2013, 04:00:49 PM »

How much are you willing to spend. Not necessarily your "budget" but the absolute maximum you are willing to spend. Good 24mm is going to cost $

I thought 5D Mark III was to be deeply discounted? Already in Canada the price for body only is $3K from a dealer. Ebay deals starting to look better.

Actually same as the 24-70mm. Already purchased it cheaper in Canada.

The customer is always right...... even if they are not.

You need to do or say anything as long as it makes the customer happy.

Failure to do so will not get you any referrals.
