    Lens for portrait

    Right, that changes things a bit. The 24-70 is still going to be a good lens to get but fashion means something longer will be needed as well. either 70-200 f2.8 or 135mm f2, or for outdoor work if the pace of work is slow enough to live with the sedate af speed an 85mm f1.2. They'd be my...

    Lens for portrait

    There is only the one version of the 24-70, before that it was a 28-70 f2.8 (nothing wrong with one of those if you can pick one up in good nick) Out of interest Cristian what style of portraiture is your friend interested in? Studio or lifestyle work, babies, kids or adults. If the focus is on...

    Which Std zoom ?

    I've had two 24-105s in the past and now use the 24-70. I've got no plans to swap back....

    Zenfolio hacked????

    Mine's OK. The site was down for planned maintenance this morning. Maybe that caused a bit of a glitch

    Printer Recommendations Please.

    which lens ?

    Totally agree I've had 2 24-105s and thought they were good lenses. Until I got a 24-70. Even in a studio at f8 the difference is noticeable. Wide open its in a different league

    Canon 100-400 uv filter?

    Between my mate and me we've had 4 100-400s and 2 had the problem. So based on that 50% of 100-400s develop the fault :-O

    Canon EF 24-105/4L IS USM

    The alternatives I was thinking of were the 17-55 f2.8 if you want wider on a crop body or the 24-70 f2.8 which is the lens I use now.

    Canon EF 24-105/4L IS USM

    I've owned a couple over the years and they are a very good lens. Works well as a walkabout lens although the focal length suits a full frame sensor better than a crop at the wide end. IS comes in handy and constant f4 aperture is good. Depending what you're shooting there could be other...

    Are Canon at Focus on Imaging?

    I noticed on another forum that Canon are no longer on the exhibitors list and were taken off the floor plan yesterday. Anyone going mainly to see Canon's new toys may be best to check Edit: Confirmed now, Canon won't be there

    Insuring my Canon 300mm

    I don't know what car you drive but with Aaduki check the small print regarding not covering estates with a soft boot cover. They will cover that scenario if you tell them but by default you're not covered

    Insuring my Canon 300mm

    I'd suggest Aaduki as a company to insure it separately with but covering it with your house and contents will be miles cheaper. Just double check the t&cs to make sure its covered for theft from a car etc

    Lightroom 3

    4 Gb, but v3.2 was fine, it appeared with 3.3. I used to use the function a lot to quickly export a web gallery because for certain work I do I aim to process 100% in LR. It may not show when exporting a few images but with say 350-400 it takes hours to export. Having realised where the...

    Lightroom 3

    Just pray you don't fall foul of the lottery that is exporting with the 'limit file size to' box ticked. If you're lucky you'll have no problems, if you're unlucky, like me, its unusable because the computer just grinds to a halt.

    Canon 200-400 f/4L announced

    In my experience its the rich amateurs with plenty of disposable income who buy up every long lens Canon make. The bankers have to spend their bonuses on something ;) A lot of the professional photographers I know and work with don't swap their kit just because something new has come out.

    70-200/2.8 I.S. MkII

    I thought that too Roy, until I bought an original 70-200 f2.8is. It's miles better than the f4 with or without the 1.4x

    Canon suppliers in the UK???????

    Sure I read somewhere that Martins sell grey imports. May be worth checking

    Greetings Everyone! Question for Canon 100x400 users

    Mick, I'd have a look at Keith Reeders website. One of very few people to make the 40D, 100-400 and 1.4x tc combination sing. Links just above your post

    Canon 400D Digital - good lens?

    I think the same advice was offered on a thread not long ago - secondhand Sigma 170-500mm.

    CPL Filter

    Not sure about that last bit Roy. A lot of good motorsports togs use CPLs to kill off the glare and reflections on car windscreens so they can clearly see the driver in the shot. I'm not aware of anything in PS that can do that successfully and I think that allowing for the downside of using...
