Actually, it's a yes and no answer. Yes, because some cameras always use certain metering modes for certain shooting modes. For example, the eos 500N uses center-weighted metering for manual mode and evaluative metering for shutter priority. No because more advanced cameras allow you to switch...

He's asking about your height, since using a tripod much shorter than for extended periods you will give you lower back ache. And what is the weight of you camera. Not light is being a bit vague.

This desk looks much neater than the disaster that's mine :eek: And flower is not spelled as frower :bsmilie:

Canon doesn't have matrix metering. The Eos 30/33 has 35 zone evaluative metering.

According to Canon website in US, http://www.usa.canon.com/eflenses/lineup/supertelephoto/index.html the 75-300 cannot use the original canon teleconverters. It can however, use third party teleconverters.

Try not to touch the mirror even with a lens cleaning cloth. From my own experence, I made the dust even worse by doing that. Just use a blower to blow away the dust on the mirror.

Exposures longer than 1/8 of a second or so should be used on a tripod because its difficult to avoid camera shake without one. Unfortunately, I am unable to help you with your other questions. :(

I want to point out here that he said that he seldoms rewinds the film mid-roll, which is not the same as does not rewind the film mid-roll. The other thing is, we each have our own different working styles and what works for someone, may not work for another person.

Heh, I'm also using a cordless mouse. It's quite handy especially when your desk is very cluttered. The only problem is when the batteries need to be changed and I find that there aren't any AAA batteries at home. :thumbsd:

The 75-300mm costs $430 while the USM version costs $500. (Prices from Canon Singapore's website). There is no comparison between a "L" lens with the USM and the same lens without the USM since all "L" lenses now use USM to drive the AF.

Heh, I thought that way on the first photo session a few weeks after I bought my 28-135mm lens, and used shutter speeds of 1/8 and lower. After I got back my prints.......

Canon claims that the IS gives an equivalent effect of a shutter speed 2 stops faster (in terms of camera shake) In other words, for the 28-135 lens at 135mm, instead of a shutter speed of 1/125, you can use a shutter speed of 1/30 or maybe 1/15 and have little to no camera shake. Using shutter...

1st shot: It is quite nice, except for the wingtip that was cropped out. 2nd and 3rd shots: The colour of the background is a little distracting, but the rest of the photos are good.

There's one L lens that has maximum aperture bigger than f2.8. The 200mm f1.8L USM. It also costs $9500. :eek: The price is from Canon Singapore's website.
