Never tried using a warming filter, they are not used that much now that we are in the digital era.

Lenses / Re: Best lens for capturing the Milky Way?
« on: April 29, 2013, 01:31:58 PM »
Would a 24 mm TS-E II or the 8-15 mm fisheye be good for this type of capture?

What sort of performance would I get if I put my 2x III on the 400 mm version II? Close to the 800 mm performance up til now?

« on: April 29, 2013, 01:29:41 PM »Ive got one and can testify how good they are. Only problem I have is they put a cool blue cast on the pics. Otherwise, the best filters around. Good luck with the big stopper, youll love them but getting the timing right is a bit hit or miss.
Cast is easily correctable in post if shooting in RAW. Problem is.... they are fragile as &^%/2!

Street & City / Stockholm, Sweden
« on: April 29, 2013, 01:29:02 PM »
I should be visiting Stockholm mid-June and will have some free time outside of a conference to tour the city and photograph. Any particular sites to look forward to? I shoot mostly architecture and landscapes, particularly with long exposures processed in monochrome. Any help would be appreciated. Kind regards.

The older one yes, has a horrible cast. There are always new formulations

No glass ones, but there are filters from other companies made of resin with less colour cast than a Lee Big Stopper.

Get resin ones, shattered my Big Stopper during windy weather. Glass and wind do not mix well.

Lenses / Re: About a REPLACE MENT FOOT RRS LCF-52: Foot for Canon EF300mm/f2.8 IS-II

Dear Sir or Madam,
there are quite a few shops which import the most excellent RRS parts. I can only speak for Germany, but I have been very satisfied with an online shop called 'augenblicke-eingefangen'. It takes a while until your highly desired toys arrive, but the packaging is very good and shock-resistant.
Thank you. They do not stock RRS tripods though.

Was getting second thoughts after I invested in a 400 mm f/2.8 recently, but seeing the delays and delays and even more delays on this piece of vaporware... no regrets.

Using the LP-e4N interchangeably between the 1DS III and the 1DX. No issues to report up till now.

The 24 mm version II, sharper and wide enough for my needs.

Lenses / Re: which lens to keep
« on: April 23, 2013, 09:03:07 AM »I m new to this, ok I have 24-105 f/4L IS and 24-70 f.2.8L, which one should I sell, I only could keep one lens and want to keep the bestSince you "like to do Landscaping Buildings and Portraits", keep the f/2.8 and sell the 24-105 f/4 ... but if you sell both of those lenses you can buy the new 24-70 f/2.8 L II, which is a far superior lens than either of your lenses.
Thanks for help
