OFFICIAL: CANON EOS 1DX - User Thread


now you have made me want to upgrade to this monitor

i was considering getting another one, but unfortunately i don't have the table space for 3 displays. It's really VFM for a "pro grade monitor"
 

If you have to bring only one lens and maybe together with Extender EF 1.4x III to accompany 1DX for landscape shooting during oversea tour, which lens combination would you bring and why?

I am thinking of either one of these combinations:-
1) 1DX with 24-70mm f2.8 II USM (sharpest combination) or
2) 1DX with 24-105mm f4 IS USM or

Any advise is much appreciated. Cheers!:)

Erm, sorry being a Nazi, but it's 1DX not IDX, and Lens not Len.

And if I'm not wrong, 24-70 and 24-105 are not compatible with extenders.

yup no luck with the EF 1.4 III. The lens would mount on a 3rd party TC like a kenko 1.4 DGX.

Why only limited to one lens? I would bring the 24-105 for most flexibility. 24-70 F2.8II if low light shooting is required.

Less than a month till it's out! If you preorder it since last year though..

Type 240! Nice! I also enjoy rangefinders once in a while. Canon made world class rangefinder gear.

But in the mean time, I think I'll still stick to simpler things in life.

Anyway, Happy Lunar New Year to all 1Dx users!

Bought overseas and warranty is in that country, I think. For firmware updates is free regardless whether warranty is valid or not, I supposed.
