Keep shooting - practice as much as you can my first dslr was a 450d - I learnt so much on that camera.

Good luck

Personally I'd wait for the newer lens to be repaired rather than accept the older one.

Should be interesting - they need to atleast match Canon's quality and be much cheaper to have any chance of success with this lens.

I used to have 70-200 f4 on my 7d - very pleased and satisfied with that combo. I'd recommend it.

I'm 5'6" with not much upper body strength but can easily lug around a 5d III with 70-200 IS II for hours using my black rapid 7 strap. Maybe it will work for you - worth trying it out at your local camera dealer.

Good luck

if you can get a used 6d within you budget then go for it otherwise 5d mark II would be the 2nd option IMHO as always.

cheers

Technical Support / Re: Error 01 lost comms with lens - should I get a repair ?

« on: February 04, 2013, 03:35:43 AM »

IMHO, sounds like a repair / service issue. Depending on that cost, a new lens may be a better investment for the future.

cheers

I'm satisfied with my Phottix gear.

Yours is probably a rare occasion when Canon branded products are not necessarily best for camera bodies / speedlites.
