    anyone had tried carl zeiss 35 F1.4

    CZ lenses are manual focus. But the camera does prompt you if your focus is 'almost' accurate -- use live-view to be more sure though.

    In Auto, is the 7D smarter then the G12?

    i am thinking for the d-slrs it's going to vary a bit, coz of things such as different metering systems, i.e. 5d2 has 35 metering zones, the 1D3 and 7D have 63 zones metering etc etc (so that would tend to give a different result i think?) then if you go for spot metering, the 'spot' is of...

    EOS1D Mark III > error30 new shutter box

    The address is definitely correct. I am not sure how much it costs to replace the shutter box though.

    Check on AF accuracy

    i think it has something to do with where you set your focus point as well.

    Simple Photoshoot with My Cousin

    i like the colour and skin tones. picture 3 and 4 are not over-exposed on my screen, apart from some blown highlights on the lower right of her skirt (which is okay).

    Going Europe

    whenever you zoom in the F-number should be F5.6. Anyway, it really depends on your budget. There are hardly lens with good image quality where the optical zoom ratio is huge, and you could always consider a second lens to improve your zoom range, with the 18-55 as your walkaround lens instead...

    Aperture on canon 24 – 70L F2.8 and 24 - 105L F4

    if the same settings are applied, then of course both lens give you the same shutter speed right. if you are asking which has a nicer bokeh at f/4, then that depends on the design of the aperture blades etc -- the bokeh of the two lens are not the same, but that you would have to your own...

    d700 95% reduced viewfinder

    Full-frame DSLR or not, not all SLR type cameras have 100% viewfinder owing to the difficulty in creating one. It seems that the main difficulty in creating one lies in aligning the viewfinder mirror/ sensor area --- the 95% coverage scenario seems better than one that claims to be 100% but...

    Anyone hit or dropped their camera/lens before?

    dropped a 50 mm f/1.8 lens before and now i know what it looks like internally. dropped another 300d before which survived the fall from the car seat with minimal scratch marks. well, depends on how it's dropped right?

    24-70 l f2.8 usm is?

    in general i think IS doesn't always work for low-light situations, since that four-stop advantage isn't useful unless your shutter speed can still be above 1/50 @ f2.8 (consider the necessity of freezing motion). IS is more useful in preventing hand-shake for large telephoto lens. for...
