Hi there, when are you planning to order? I'm interested to get the Polaroid LED Macro Ring Flash & Light for Canon Digital SLR Cameras (US$39.95). http://www.adorama.com/PDPLMRFC.html I would like to order asap. Thanks!

What do you suggest? I had a B+W UV for my 17-85mm. How much would a B+W UV 77mm filter cost? Or would Hoya pro series 1 digital UV be better?

I'm using a Vitacon HMC Superslim UV(0) filter with my new 17-55mm on a 40D and I'm not wowed by the IQ compared to my previous 17-85mm. Is my filter too cheap for the lens? What's an optimal general purpose filter to pair with the lens?

Now that the EF 17-40mm is $400 cheaper than the 17-55f2.8, I wonder there's a good reason to choose the 17-40. I'm using a 40D/ 17-85 currently.

Sports Connection many branches eg. Plz Singapura has something called PacSafe for backpacks and stuff. I'd bought one but never bothered to travel with it cos it's quite heavy.

Why the tone? I'm just asking. I see most other magazine photographers using a 5D at least. And I want to know sooner rather than later if I really should go FF asap. I'm a writer by profession and photos are a value add to what I do. But I'm hearing different things on this thread itself so...

Can I gather your comments about the necessity of switching to a FF if I'm looking to achieve a clear image (at least to a discerning reader) on a 2-page spread ie. close to A3 size. Is it achievable using a 40D if shot in raw or highest JPG and with decent natural light? At what point would...

Thanks y'all for your comments! I guess the choice is clear!

Thanks everyone. Should I also consider the 17-40mm although I'm hoping for the new purchase to replace the 17-85 (which I imagine I would leave at home as I like to travel light) so I wonder if there's enough zoom power. Aside from the fact that the 17-40 opens only to F4, which lens has...

Yes, planning to move to a FF in 2 years or so if my freelance writing is sustainable cos if not being published, my current setup suits my needs as fine...

Hi all, I'm considering between the 2. Any pointers as to which would be more suitable for me? I'm currently using a Canon 40D with the EF-S 17-85mm and 50mm/1.8. I'm an occasional freelance writer and I do my own photos for my travel and food-related stories for magazines - 4 stories so far...

I bought a 40D kit 2 last year for $2550. On hindsight and given the price reduction of 40D, I would go with the 40D body and 17-40L for close to what I had paid for if I were to do it again.

Doubt so. John 3:16 is a commonly quoted Bible verse. "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." From the New International Version.

Got prices for Extreme lll?

Can anyone recommend any freeware for converting raw files? I would like to compare it to the software provided by Canon as I don't see a very big difference in IQ when I used it...
