I just hated the straps on the thing. They were not comfortable at all for me.

I picked up a 580EXII on ebay with MS cashback for $350. Took 3 months but I got my $35 back a few days ago.

I hope you find that Kata bag more comfortable than I did.

I have been using the Lowepro Slingshot 200 and loving it for my gear. Here's what I have in the bag: Canon Rebel XTi Canon 15-55IS Lens with hood Canon 17-85IS Lens with hood Canon 50mm F1.2 lens Canon 75-300mm Lense Canon 580EXII Flash Canon Verticle grip AA Battery charger and...

I have the 15-55 2.8 Canon Lense and I have to say it is my best lens. I so envy you for your 70-200. That is the one len that would complete my photo package. I had a 17-85is for three years (Bought it with my rebel XTI) Used the thing to death and loved it. The only issue I had with...

Count me in.

Yeah, thanks guys. It was my browser.

Crap, sometimes I really hate opera.

What did you search?

It looks like ebay cash back is dead. I can't find it under any search I try with bing.

When you are shooting large apeture lenses lens flair is something you have to really work hard to avoid. Especially considering all of the light they used and the ocasional moron with a Big F***ing Flashligh. Even if it was intentional I mean, come on.

Some of these are available in higher resolutions at other sites Still it's an awesome collection

Just read up on what makes a good picture. :) Just shoot as much as you can. You will get good at taking pictures with practice. Welcome to the club:)

Wow, That looks like it is going to work out well for you. Happy shooting.

No, no I didn't. I wonder what current definition of photochopping is... I mean there is a lot of more subtle stuff that involves enough post processing to really change the image but not enough to be called a "chop"

For EXIF go to zoom browser or FastStone image viewer. These will both show the EXIF data.

Another thing to keep in mind is weather or not you want full time manual focus. (Cool feature with short depth of field lenses)

Could be your exposure length. With IS lenses you can use a slower shutter speed but you will loose sharpness if it is too slow or there is subject motion. I have sucessfully hand held shots at 1/4sec but it is hit r miss when it is that slow.

What Canon 85mm are you talking about? 85mm prime or like the one I have (17-85mm IS) I have found that it is great for both. The only thing is, this applies to lenses in general, if you are too close to your portrait subject it makes thier nose look huge. A couple of shots with my XTi...

One of THE BEST sources for Canon lens information! http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/

Yeah, I found it. That's kind of messed up that it's in a pay section. I don't mind paying, but it does something to the community.

Here is a relevent question for the "Pirate's" benefit. How is the short end on a 28mm lens with a crop body? (28x1.6crop=44.8mm) vs (17x1.6crop=27.2mm) It's a pretty big sacrifice if you want to do anything inside where you need a wider angle. I have found the wide end useful so I...

I would have to put in a plug for the Canon 17-85is. It's not as fast as the 2.8 but with its bigger wide end and image stabilization it makes a truly formidable choice for and "All around lens". Heck, I used one almost exclusively for two years on my XTi. I have a 17-55is f2.8 now that I use...

Title says it all. What Happened to the auto section? I remember it used to be great to chat with all the other tech guys about what cool things they were doing. (Nice to get a tech-head's opinion instead of a gear-head sometimes)

It's Sad, but not unexpected. Especially with our recent change in economic climate.

The trade off with longer exposures is increased "noise" in the image. This can be partially mitigated by using the lowest ISO possible. Also check to see if your camera has a noise reduction mode. This will alter the camera's internal method of handling dark areas on the sensor. Lastly...

I am just realizing that I lost my lightning photos along with about 10gb of other pictures.... Let's just say I will be vigerously looking in to recovering that data. Anyway, capturing lightning requires an energetic storm, low ambient light, and a steady camera mount. You need a camera...

Near as I can tell the sharpness of the 2.8 lens come right back if you step it down to f4. Just gives you more flexibility. (At a much higher price)

Man,now I have to dig up some of my lightning pics... But very cool. I love lightning shots but my biggest gripe is all of the waiting with the shutter open.

It's a fun thing to fool around with. I sometimes change people's head size to make a picture goofy. There are also the shots where you add people in that were missing.

Most people would call that last one post processing with a slight "editing" of the background. (removing the garbage cans) It's funny, with the software as good as it is there is really no challenge in it anymore.

The noise issue is something that I only find myself noticing as the light starts to drop off. DEFINITELY get a better lens over getting a new body! I have a 17-85mm IS lens that I have been using for the last two almost three years and I live it to death. I got myself a 17-55 f2.8 two...

I have a Rebel XTi, but I am currently waiting for the D60 to come out this fall. It's supposed to have video capability and a 15mp image sensor improved over the 50D. I am really itching to try video with my new favorite lens the 17-55 f2.8!

I have had more than my fair share of data storage problems. 1. You never regret backing up. As drives get larger the time spent replacing lost data is huge. It is well worth the extra expense these days to get two drives and run them in RAID 1. If you are looking at $ 0.10 per gig this...

Seems to me a bunch of people are going to get screwed with that 60 day turn around. If the deal goes south you will have no recourse.
