    OFFICIAL CANON EOS100D Discussion

    I'm am not sure why the document excludes the xxxD series but there are focusing screens for them. I own one for my 550D. But a quick search didn't reveal anything for 100D's case. Canon EOS 550D / 500D Focusing screen installation

    OFFICIAL: CANON EOS 6D - User Thread - Part 2

    Sry that it came across as a con. I was just responding to the low light question. I read this article, where it states the sensitivity of AF points other than the center one is +0.5EV. Picturing Change · Canon 6D Hands On Review Given that and my own experience, don't expect much out of the...

    OFFICIAL: CANON EOS 6D - User Thread - Part 2

    I got mine with sigma 35mm f1.4 last week and did a cosplay shoot over the weekend. I'm sad to report that the outer AF hunts in low light, it's not a question of speed anymore.

    Purple fringing info

    Hey, thanks for clearing it up for me. I would have hated to tell my dad there's something wrong with his lens, glad it wasn't the case.

    Purple fringing info

    Hi all, I need some advice here. Recently my dad was kind enough to loan me his old Leica lenses, one is a Summicron f2 50mm and the other was a Angenieux f2.8 45-90mm. Both are still nice and free of mould. So I bought adaptors and mounted them on my canon 550D to try them out at the...

    River Hongbao 2011

    I tried shooting fireworks for the 1st time last night from Queen Elizabeth's Walk. Felt I only got the side profile of the fireworks as the individual bursts were quite close to each other. Could be due to wind but the floating platform side seems to have a better view as shown here...
