Software & Accessories / Re: Adobe Lightroom 5 Public Beta Available

« on: April 24, 2013, 02:22:54 AM »

When I use the Adjustment Brush and check mark "Show Selected Mask Overlay" box it only shows the red overlay color for the first time ... but the moment I try to make brush strokes again, the red overlay color dissapears, prompting me to deselect and select the "Show Selected Mask Overly" box ... did anyone else notice this?
This never used to happen in the earlier versions.

Hey Rienz, I used that as well but I haven't had any issues with it on my version.  It's working properly.  I did notice that the beta version has slowed down a bit since I first started using it though...

Hi Krob78, thanks for the reply ... I uninstalled and reinstalled the beta version last night ... now, it is working fine.

Lenses / Re: which lens to keep

« on: April 23, 2013, 08:57:47 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 best
Thanks for help

 Forgot to add I have 1D Mark lll and 5D Mark iii, I like to do Landscaping Buildings and Portraits

Since 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.

I'd go with 24-105 for versatility & 70-200 for the extra reach

No problemo ... Canon can take as long as they want, as long as they release the best 7D II to knock the socks off the competition ... if the new 7D II is an APS-H, I'd be thrilled and pre-order right away.

EOS Bodies / Re: Safe to leave lens on camera?

« on: April 22, 2013, 03:49:56 AM »

What about lenses with plastic mounts?

The EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II is a fairly big lens with a plastic mount. Over time would the plastic bend, warp, and lose a tight connection? Especially if the lens and body get very hot in the sun or trunk of a car, I could see this being even more problematic.

I'm pretty sure, lenses with plastic mount wouldn't bend, warp or lose tight connection in normal weather conditions ... I say this coz I live in a place where the summer temperature goes to 55 degrees Celcius (131 Ferenhight) and I make images/video at our rig locations out in the open desert with all my lenses in the car roasting in the heat of the mid day sun ... one of those lenses was 50 f/1.8 (which has a plastic lens mount) ... never had a problem.

I waited almost 9 months ... so I can wait another 9 days ... No need for me to send it to Canon service center

True unless someone was going on a photo trip just this very day..

True ... but I wonder how many Canon service centers actually return the camera in 1 day.
