nightwolf75 did you insert batteries with correct polarity? They do not both face the same way! When you open the battery catch, take a small torchlight and shine it onto the circuit board inside the battery compartment. You will be able to see the correct polarity labelled on the circuit board...

The threads or rounded out the hex head? Should be the later right? :o Nevertheless, you may want to try heading down to a machining shop to drill out the bolt. Kakit Bukit area or Kelantan area. Try out automotive servicing shops too, a stripped bolt is quite common on vehicles :bsmilie: You...

It's the plate that directly attaches to the stalk of the ballhead? I'm not sure if the hex screw had been thread-locked down during assembly from the factory if it's that tight. Usually if it's thread-locked then some heat on the hex screw will do the trick. Touch just the hex screw *AND ONLY...

Sharpness, or centre sharpness, is not the sole determining factor of a good lens. Here's an informative read: LensRentals.com - How to Test a Lens :)

You know, if I were in your shoes and really not upgrading for the next 6 years, I would probably want to jump to full-frame as the next big step up - it opens a whole new perspective as the nicer/more "serious" lenses that Canon make are EF-mount (especially L primes), and while being...

Just wait if you can afford to. It's not like the 7D will get discontinued the exact moment the 7D2 is released. Furthermore, the price will drop even further after 7D2 is released, and then you can compare the discounted price of the 7D vs. having all the new bells and whistles of the 7D2 and...

Kongfu, yes it is normal, the 17 55 offers full time manual focusing. If you look at the mechanism of ring usm, you will understand why the focusing ring will always be able to turn no matter what. Could you do a 100% crop of your photos? As a comparision, here is a photo taken with my 17-55...

My gosh, sorry to hear that. :sweat: I have been hearing some hits and misses about CSC recently regarding their lens calibration too.

What I do with mine is to set it at 17 mm whenever I walk around. The zoom mechanism is designed to be snug at 17 mm to prevent lens creep, which is why the smoothness of the barrel is not consistent as you zoom from 17 to 55. Anyway at 17 mm it's physically shorter, less chance for it to knock...

Yes you are totally right, sorry for the misnomer. :) I was referring to it solely in terms of bokeh and not faster aperture, although now that I've come to think of it, the FF advantage of say a 5D2 in ISO performance is around 1.5x better than Canon's current 18MP crop sensors. This will allow...

The DOF for a FF as compared to a crop is linearly proportional to the amount of crop ie. 1.6x for the same field of view. So a 24-105mm F/4 L IS on a FF is equivalent to 15-65 mm F/2.5 IS on a crop, which makes it wider, longer and faster than a 17-55mm on 7D, and with L lens built and quality...
