    Would anyone like to share their exprience with the G1X MKII

    I am looking at this camera as my all around travel camera -- which could be used in hiking conditions as well. Competition is from EOS-M system. My DSLRs with even two lenses are seeming to be too heavy. So if anyone could share their experience of using G1X MKII it would be great.

    Does macro lenses of different focal lengths give the same image?

    Let me explain my question a bit further. I have seen/used only two macro lenses till date Canon 100mm L and sigma 150mm OS. That also at a distance of more than 1 year. So I had no opportunity to test this question of mine. What I am asking is, let's say I am photographing a small flower...

    Internal Zooming Standard Zoom

    Just wondering if any of you know whether an internal zooming standard zoom is possible (either EF or EF-S, but I guess if one is possible, the other would be too)? It might be nice to have 17-55 EF-S (or 15-85 EF-S, or 24-70 or 24-105) which does not extend. Opinions?

    What is the deal with Canon 135mm f/2.8 soft focus?

    I was wondering what is the the deal with this lens? There has been no update of this lens (as far as I know) from its version 1. No one here on CR talks about it or asks of it or mentions it!! There is not even a lens gallery for this lens on here! So no one uses/has this lens here? Just idly...

    Tested true freedom yesterday

    Yesterday I was going to a friend's place to visit. This friend has two one year old twins. So I took my camera with me along with the recently bought four YN 622Cs.

As you know its normal color is black, but mine is showing a peculiar whiteness within this black color - specially in the "channels" or "grooves" of those rubberized parts. No problem with the metal parts though. Any idea...
