It's happened to people with 1D Mark II's as well. Never heard of it happening to 1Ds owners :embrass:

The lens is well known for having this issue. I have the same problem.. it happens every now and then, sometimes it occurs frequently, sometimes it dosn't. You can tell it's about to happen when the aperture reads 00 when you're about to focus, I just switch off the camera, press the...

Probably won't feel any faster with the 16.7 megapixel RAW's :eek: How many MB's do you think each RAW shot could take?

thanks, but I already interpolate my images that are gonna be used on a large spread, to 5400x3600!! It can only do so much before even that reaches it's limits. Alot of clients are specific about getting uninterpolated images, they want natural resolution. I know with 6.3mp (and even...

Wow - this is a world first... a camera thats competitive to buy in AUS than in Singapore? Usually your prices eat ours alive. I laid my order of $12,499 AUD today.. Amatuers certainly don't need this camera, at least not over a 1DMKII. What kind of amatuer needs 16.7 megapixels? Unless...

I'm still experimenting with sharpening, but my usual method is to run sharpen, then edit -> fade until it's at the right balance. You can probably tell the tele shots are alot sharper than the wide angles. I really love my 70-200 IS but the Err01's are driving my bonkas. I've missed so...

No tri/mono-pods but I did beef the ISO up for most of the shots. The F2.8 on the 70-200 was absolutely priceless at the show with the low light levels and busy looking backgrounds. I was just about the only photographer there not using a flash.. I need to invest in one of them 550EX's or...

Hey guys, Well I had myself some fun recently at the Australian Motorshow in Sydney last Thursday. More than half of my shots were of the floor models :D I'll tell you guys this now, i'm no glamour/portraiture photographer. I specialise in shooting cars only so don't be expecting...

Thanks guys! From what you guys have said I think i'm going to opt for the 17-40mm, it sounds like the only advantage of the prime is being that it's cheaper and lighter. If at 17 i'm getting too much distortion, I can always go as far up as 21mm again before I get as much coverage as I...

Hi guys! Sorry about making ANOTHER lens vs lens thread, but I have a relatively specific question. I'm upgrading from my 300D into a 1DMKII, right now i'm moving from the equivalent 28mm into something wider, which is easier to get on the 1.3 crop factor 1DMKII. My needs are... - I will...

Here you go :) This picture is the completely untouched version (cept for resizing) http://home.iprimus.com.au/easton/TypeR_SX0115.jpg

I'll try and dig up an old copy! It'd be in one of my backup cd's (there are hundreds!)

thanks! :) Glad someone remembered me ;p I remember all the gorgeous and rich cars I saw in Singapore - doing all this makes me wish I went back there again to shoot their cars. Two Lamborghini Diablo's were parked outside the hotel next to ours.. :eek: You don't see that kind of...

Also - this guy is a fantastic car advertising photographer: http://www.tjphoto.com/MainStructure/Indexes/Pages/MainFrame.html Some day I would love to do shots like him, but I don't have anywhere near as much equipment, experience or skill as he does. Car brands are the biggest fishes to...

Hey there! Thanks for the tips - although i'm not actually aiming to do advertising photography yet! Those guys have decades worth of experience, use medium format digital backs, have their own digital photoshop specialists working for them, and use a special car rig that costs over $10,000...
