the best landscape photography is not documentary, it is expressionist. you want the photos to express the feeling of the place, not the exact appearance. therefore, a 16-35 and a 70-200 is an ideal combo, because both perspectives can exaggerate the parts of the frame that are important while...

it is obviously not possible to break any art form down into some ultimately objective 'score' based on some well defined and well known scoring system, but that doesn't mean that all art is created equal. some art really sucks. some art is mediocre and forgettable. some art is good. some...

this is exactly the kind of thing that a person who couldn't tell the difference between good composition and bad would say; in other words, someone exhibiting dunning/kruger.

late to the party, but as others have implied, a larger diameter hollow tube is stronger than a smaller diameter solid bar, of the same mass, because leverage. not sure what diameter tube you have, or how big your clamps are, but an over tube would definitely be more helpful than an inner bar...

anyone care to speculate on whether this version will jump from 67mm filters to 72mm?

Let me google that for you... This is from Canon themselves: http://www.canon-asia.com/cplus/en/br-lens-elements/ "As conventional glass lens combinations are unable to correct chromatic aberration, this is usually done using special lenses with different refractive indices, such as fluorite...

As everybody tells you every time you ask this about every new lens, no, BR is only useful for wide angle lenses.

indeed, but doing so takes time/effort to set up correctly.

looking at these images i am very conflicted. there is a lot to like about this lens, including the price, but the bokeh clipping looks really horrendous to me. i don't mind the cat's eye bokeh balls so much, because there is actually some creative potential there, but the nervousness it...

imo outdoors is easy. sunny, chose daylight, not sunny, choose shade. done. indoors is where it gets complicated, because your flash is almost never the same temp as the ambient lighting, and this is not something you can correct in post.

a thread about a telephoto L derailing into an argument about wide angle mid-range lenses? seems legit.

for that bright red rocks against deep blue sky look you'll want a CPL

recompose is never going to work, not only because of the narrow dof, but also because of RSAs. i use the off-center focus points, just remember that if you are using a non-cross type focus point, to try to align it to a high contrast line that is perpendicular to the focus point.

refresh button, prepare to be worn out...

indeed, new series, not new camera.... the only big gap is between the 1d and 5d, right? so, are we looking at a 4d line, with studio and/or cinema models? (2d and 3d names have obvious issues due to overloading of meaning)

+1 to thinking about distance, as Pookie points out if you have control over all aspects of the shot, then background blur is influenced more by the relative lengths of the foreground and background than by the aperture. for example, if your subject is close to the camera, but far from the...

wasn't trying to restart the debate over whether such a lens needs an update or not. here's the original rumor thread: http://www.canonrumors.com/forum/index.php?topic=31786.0

that may be true, but there was a rumor about a new 70-200 this year and the f4 is much older than the f2.8

i'm still wondering about that, and also an update to the 70-200 f/4L IS.
