Yes. I have the Sigma MC-11 adapter mount with my Canon glasses. Video wise no autofocus at all vs the kit lens and for photos it's a tad slow and if you need to do multiple focusing it can screw up. Both Camera and lens adapters are on the latest FW versions. Lens I tried was the Canon 50mm...

Ah I fixed it! Apparently i tried to google and lucky me I chanced upon a 7D article about having fixed AF points. So you can play around with both that and the changing ones. :)

Hi 5D M3 users. I recently discovered an issue which you guys might know how to rectify. When I use P/M/AV etc except Full Auto Mode, there is a square box right in the centre column, 2nd row from the top blinking. I have no idea how to remove it. It is not the pre-focus point for AI-Servo as it...

Yes many events are such... Especially when everyone is trying to get to the front to take pictures. You cannot afford to stand at the back. Unless you are damn tall to get a birds eye view...

Thanks! I most probably will be getting that.

I am working freelance with Straits Times and at many events you cannot move backward thus limiting you with the 16-35. Many people in the newsroom have mostly "abandoned" the 24-70 in favor of the 16-35 as I heard that many experienced the same issue. Perhaps you were the lucky ones to get a...

When it does it is soft. That's what I've experienced. But I don't really wish to send to CSC if possible because I have heard stories about them making the lens worst etc. I'll try to avoid unless it is extremely bad. Oh yeah why is the 24-70 L 2nd gen so expensive? :)

Hmm...What other reason? They claimed even better IQ and perhaps they fixed the infamous backfocusing issue which plagued many 24-70 owners which should have never been allowed in a L lens series. Hmm I initially bought it for 7D but I heard it could be used on FF but only at 16mm. It works but...

I would say the 70-200 F4 non IS version. It is light, produces good IQ and can track fast moving objects quickly. I wonder why many of you love 24-70L lens. I myself experience it occasionally missing the focus and backfocusing issues spammed in other forums about this lens. Due to the nature...

Sounds like a good option. I'll try to ask around! Yea I understand what you mean. Was actually considering the new 24-70 but it's ex and with no IS I think it ain worth it. Yea now heavily leaning towards the 16-35. :) Yea but I heard some people say that it ain as sharp as the 24-70. I am...

Hmm I was thinking so... But price is pretty steep on that man. Have to seriously consider. Thanks for your suggestion! Thanks for your suggestion. As avsquare suggested I am considering now should I just rent now and save up or just buy a lens now. Sounds very tempting but I love 7D's AF...

Ah I see... Perhaps I should do so... But I was thinking in the long run there will be many other instances where he and other family members will need to use the cameras so i thought buying one will be a good choice since no other new lenses are coming out or will lens prices drop significantly...

Hmm... I will be going up to Genting Highlands with friends so perhaps some shots with them... The scenery and any interesting stuff that is there? I am thinking currently about another 24-70 L lens first gen (2nd gen price is *faints*) or the 24-105L lens or should I consider 3rd party Lenses?

I currently have 2 bodies. 7D and 5D M3. However, me and my dad are going overseas at the same period but to different parts. I will be taking the 7D with a 11-17 Tokina Lens. He will be taking the 5D M3 with 2 L Lenses 24-70 and 70-200.. My question is which lens should I get to...
