Lenses / Re: Lens choice for concert
« on: September 13, 2012, 05:14:59 PM »I don't have access to that glass unfortunately, have the 135 f/2 but I prefer the 70-200 II for versatility
So use the 70-200 II
Trust me I will but was asking whether anyone whether a longer telephoto has a use for closer portrait shots.

Lenses / Lens choice for concert
« on: September 13, 2012, 02:29:07 PM »
Will be shooting at a rock/orchestra concert in 2 days time, besides the 1DX in spot metering mode, what lens choice should I go for? I was going for 70-200 f/2.8, 8-15 mm fisheye and 24 mm TS-E for creative shots. Would there be a particular need for the 400 mm for close tight shots of performers?

Lee have a detailed list of retailers on their website, go through and email the ones close to your area of residence and will usually manage to get a retailer who has current stock of whatever filter or adapter you are looking for.

Third Party Manufacturers / Re: Wide angle lens for EF-S?
« on: September 10, 2012, 01:39:10 PM »Canon 10-22 or Tokina 11-16. Don't bother with the others.
Seconded, for EF-S those are the best. The crop factor would mess up using L lenses in the 16-40 mm range.

I do not believe it is doable, not at the D800 price point, and not without a new sensor. And Canon is not losing sleep over losing customers to Nikon over the D800.

Lenses / Re: 400, 200 or...?
« on: September 07, 2012, 06:13:14 PM »
I was in the same situation recently, and ended up buying a second hand 400 mm f/2.8 L IS. Cannot be happier, shoot mostly outdoors, and although IQ is a bit inferior with a 2xTC III attached, it is still fast to AF on a 1DX

Going through the thread I notice each poster noted a different bag or brand altogether... speaks volumes that the much sought after camera bag does not exist as yet!

Canon General / Re: Filters?
« on: September 03, 2012, 04:13:59 PM »I have a question concerning filters
I have the Lee system
I have the 77mm size, plus an adapter for a couple smaller sizes
but I've got a 16-35 and its 82mm
I haven't been able to find an adapter for that lens
any ideas??
Would get the 82 mm wide angle adaptor to avoid vignetting, I bought mine two weeks ago from Conns Cameras in Ireland, they usually stock it.

Lee are considered top of the bunch, and their ND grads are made of resin not glass. Their Big Stopper 10 ND is glass though.
