3rd Party Lens for Canon

[LancerCK]

Even on partial metering, area metered is quite big, hence zoom in so that you can meter on the subject. The canon manual (pg 84 for 400D) recommends to 1) Focus on the subject 2) Press the AE Lock button and 3) Recompose & take the picture...

If you do not want a washed out sky, can always 1) expose for sky 2) expose for building and combine the 2 in PS.

Probably can use the HDR method?

Both comments made in B&S.

One said 1DMkII can't take Sigma, 18-50mm f/2.8 EX DC MACRO.

Another said Sigma 28-105mm f2.8-4 Aspherical can't seem to sync well with any of the '3' series.

If that is true, shouldn't either the camera (Canon) or the lens (Sigma in this case) produce guides for consumers? :dunno:

The 1DmkII is a 1.3x crop camera. The Sigma 18-50mm EX DC is designed specifically for 1.6x crop cameras, and it's not recommended to be used on any other cameras either than 1.6x crop cameras. In any case, you will get vignetting at wider angles, and if you've spent so much on a good camera body, I don't understand why you should scrimp on lenses.

What do you mean by '3' series?

The guides, in the form of lens information is already out on the net in various places. You can find information on the Sigma lens on google almost instantly.

3 series refer to XXXD Canon dSLR camera models.
