Can a 16-35 mm handle such a shoot?

u can try at 16mm.

if i am not mistaken, this was shot on a 15mm fisheye. u can pm xtemujin to confirm.

you will also need to shoot from very high position.
 

been almost 2yrs on the 50d, current lens is only the 50mm 1.8, 18-200efs and 24-70L. now i need a body (for gf but share lens) and am comtemplating if should get 5dm2 and pass her the 50d or get 550d or 60d for her. how are your views based on pricing and usability (not based on specs)

take this opportunity to upgrade! BBB!

but what u shoot usually?

note that if u are into birding or macros... crop cameras will be more suitable for u.
 

Hi Bros, Has anyone here changed the focusing screen from the pre-installed Eg-A to Eg-S. Is it for finer focusing with fast lenses under f2.8. Does it improve focus accuracy and easy to use ? How does it respond ? Does it affect metering ?

accuracy is better.

but if u mount slower lens, the view finder will appear darker.

Anyone go for the free "course" by Canon for 5dm2 before ?
Worth the time ?:think:

Previous time, i went for my 50D, they teach basic thing like "How to use the Cam" only.

hmm got this program meh? most probably same program as u attended.
 

but strange leh. when you click "register", in the sign up form, "Model of Digital Camera", it has the 5d2 in the option. maybe can! go try! I attended the 450D class as it was my first dslr then. Now, it's quite a natural progression :)

(I just got my 5D mkII w 50mm from John 3:16, i decided to drop the idea to wait for 5D MKIII so just shoot now with MKII.)
 

Recent inclement weather experience with 5DII :

Brought my 5D Mk2 and my 5D skiing in Zermatt, Switzerland. The camera took only one fall on a difficult (black) slope and was perfectly fine.

Experienced fogging INSIDE THE LCD SCREEN on some occasions when the temperature dropped below -20 degrees though which really worried me. Seemed fine after awhile of shooting.

Your photos remind me of my B&W days, very beautiful. I've been looking for a decent UWA for FF. It seems like your happy with the 17-40mm.
