Hi, I've just picked up an 'old' 1D mk ii N (for a very good price), it's great, but the sensor needs a clean. Q - the best DIY kits?? I've looked on Amazon.co.uk but I'm overwhelmed with the choice! Any advice? Cheers Rhys

Hello, I have the chance to purchase a 10D plus original grip for £50. I'm after a 'knock about' camera, something that hasn't cost me thousands of pounds to buy or replace. I won't use it for anything serious, simple stuff like in the park, out with the kids etc. The question - what are...

Hi, A quick Q, please excuse my naivete on this one... ... my 5D mk2 has Firmware 1.1.0, checking the Canon website there is a current version of 2.1.2 Do I update? Can I just jump from 1.1.0 to 2.1.2? How to I actually do the update? (Download onto CF and install from there?). Please...

Hi, I got the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 last week, tested it on my 6D... hmmm, really front focuses, using micro adjustment has more or less sorted it out. But, when I tried it on my 5Dmk2... spot on! No micro adjustment needed! Is this normal? Can a lens front focus on one camera body but not on...

Hi, For a while after and during summer I had plenty of enquiries for weddings in 2015 and 2016. But now everything seems to be 'dry', I know that the (main) wedding season has finished (more or less). I'm getting no emails, no calls, no responses to my follow-ups... is it just me?? (I'm in...

Hi, Does anyone know where I could purchase Canon branded T-shirts in the UK? (Or Europe). Thanks R

Hello, Here's the situation: I shot a mix of things, weddings (and portraits), documentary and street. I currently have a 17-40L that I use 'sometimes' but rarely, I love my primes - 40mm, 50mm and 85mm and when at weddings I hardly ever have the 70-200mm off one of my bodies (I shoot FF btw)...

Hi, I have a 5 D 'classic' that I use as a second body (to a 5D mk2). I have the chance to basically swap the 5D 'classic' for a 1DS mk2. Should I do it? Dilemma. Anyone got some good pros and cons ? Thanks for your time Rhys.

Hi, I keep searching and searching but I cannot find the answer! Does anyone know (or have a guess) when the new Sigma lenses will be available (in the UK)? It's the 35mm that I'm interested in more than anything. Cheers Rhys

Hello! Back in June a 7D firmware was declared to be in the pipeline with an August release: http://www.canon-europe.com/About_Us/Press_Centre/Press_Releases/Consumer_News/Cameras_Accessories/Canon_adds_a_range_of_new_features_to_the_EOS_7D.aspx Well, it's August. Anyone heard anything...

Hello! Current lens line up - 17-40mm L f/4, 40mm f/2.8, 50mm f/1.4, 85mm f/1.8, 70-200 L f/2.8 Bodies - 5D & 7D I'm really not liking the 85mm f/1.8 - I find it too unpredictable and unreliable (especially on the 7D as a 135mm equiv.) I'd love to get the 135mm f/2 L. Here's the plan...

Hi, I've had my 40mm f2.8 STM Pancake for a few weeks now. It's barely left my camera. I love it. I'm seriously wondering if I'll ever use my 50mm f1.4 again - ? OK, the 50mm is faster but I reckon the IQ from the 40mm is better. Plus, there's something about the 40mm that just 'works' for...

Hi, There is mention of a ES-52 hood for the new 40mm pancake - nothing fits that description here in the UK. Would a third party (or even a Canon) 52mm filter thread hood fit the bill? Cheers Rhys
