Kris and I have the same understanding of Servo. His post sounds perfectly clear to me, but it there's not enough information in it to say whether what he's observing is normal or not. My post ...

Link to post please. It may be that RoLu doesn't have a "good camera", but we shouldn't assume that any observation relates to a fault rather than normal operation. For instance, we don't know that ...

Sounds like a great decision to me. I hope you have a good outcome with the vendor you choose. And do check out the unofficial Rebel Talk FAQ sometime. There's a lot of distilled wisdom there.

Because you are moving. It's not only about whether the subject is moving, what matters is whether the camera-to-subject distance is changing, and if you are holding the camera, it will be. Try it ...

The Elgin. :-( :-)

A ship, two tugs, and a yacht in pleasant evening light on the South island of New Zealand.

The Leeuwin is a 3-masted barquentine based in Fremantle that provides "experiential learning and leadership development programme for 14-25 year olds". We went out on a pleasure cruise on it when ...

Great! Cheynes II, one of the last whale catchers Oh... The Kingfisher (I can see this from the back of my house) Too rusty...? :-) How about this - A tug is not technically a ship, but I like this ...

Yeah, good point. I have my own experience like that with a Kenko TC that worked fine on the 60D but locks up the 7DII when lens-specific AF MA is active.

In that case I would get the SL1 with either the 18-55 STM or 18-135 STM lens - they are better than the older versions and much cheaper in a kit.

Okay, that makes sense to me. I saw the same thing with my 18-55 IS. How about this? Quick S-curve and smart sharpen in Photoshop Seems to me like you've thought through all the options. I'm sure ...

I don't have experience with Tamron lenses, and there are many different adapters out there so it's risky to generalise, but my experience with a couple of manual focus Pentax lenses (50mm f/1.7 & ...

In ideal/perfect conditions there is no advantage in having IS on (and possible disadvantages), but we often don't get to shoot that way so don't rely on a blanket rule for a non-trivial situation. ...

Welcome to the forum. :-) I'm not sure I get what you want to do in the future that you can't do with your current gear. You've offered a lot of solutions to your desire for new gear, but are ...

Thanks a bunch. You can see more of my motorsport shots in my Cars gallery . Thanks for a great challenge and for sharing your admirable thoughts behind it. Congrats everyone.

I just regret not having the gear for it when I had the knees for it. :-)

Sure, I'm not talking about holding the flash in my left hand.

Thanks for the clarification. I couldn't work out why you seemed to be so attached to precisely 1:1, but I understand now that the numbers are arbitrary, it's the constancy that matters. I would ...

A 13mm extension tube on the 100L will give you 1.1:1 at MFD with AF. Or twitch the focus towards infinity with the ">" button in the EOS Utility. So there are two easy ways to focus at 1:1 without ...

Sure. No, that's for metering, and AFAIK it doesn't communicate with the slave (though it wouldn't surprise me if it did somehow). Then there is a control signal sent when the shutter is open, ...
