What is it to be used in? For all intents and purposes, standard 9V batteries are absolutely useless. 200/250mAh is pathetic by today's standards, and the internal cells are very high resistance meaning you can't fast charge them, and they can't give out decent amps when discharging either.

I don't think my Mac previews CR2s either, but you can hit spacebar and it'll open a large preview, and you can then scroll around between each file using the arrow keys.

Yep, downloaded LR4.2 this morning and the CA tool is fantastic. There's some slight fringing in my first image (around the Canon logo and on the highlights down the top of the lens). With a little tweaking of the slider it completely got rid of it. I can live with a little (correctable) CA...

The CA can be an issue unless stopped down. I'm still using LR4/PS CS4, and the ACR plugin I use for PS annihilates any CA instantly, but I process most of my shots in LR4 now unless I'm doing fine editing work (all of those were done in LR4) so currently stuck without a CA tool. Looks like...

I agree it'd be nicer on a full frame, it's a little long on my crop body, but 'one day' I'm looking to pick up a used 5Dmk2 so it'd be perfect for that. In the mean time it makes a perfect extension for my 17-55mm f/2.8. What really astonishes me is the rendition of out of focus areas - just...

Just a bit of a thread to show off my new toy. Stunningly sharp even wide open so long as I get the focus nailed, and stopped down it's jaw dropping. Really really happy with it, very good Birthday present from my parents :love: 1/500, f/2.2, ISO400 1/125, f/1.8, ISO400 1/80...

While you don't have to switch to Canon, it'll make your life a lot easier. I know my uni uses Canon stuff and while the Nikon/Pentax lot aren't at a disadvantage, per say, you do get left behind a little as the cameras used in demos for things like the studios will be Canon. And then if you...

It's your shutter curtain appearing in the frame. Drop your shutter speed to something like 1/60th and it'll get rid of it. In the studio, the flash duration is your 'effective' shutter speed anyway.

I'd just use a tiny bit of superglue at each end and push it back on. If you're not ham-fisted about it you'd never know it was glued on.

I'd go for the 85mm personally. The 50 is a good length on crop, as it is on full frame, but the image quality of the 85mm f/1.8 is sublime from what I've read. I'm hopefully getting one in a couple of months for my 21st birthday and I really cannot wait. The 50 is covered by my 17-55mm so...

I use my 17-55 f/2.8 for club work and often wish for a wider angle. I've done group shots before where it was so packed I was about a foot away from the foremost person in the group, I had to hold my camera above my head and as far back as possible and even then only just about got everybody...

Will it not work for FireFox? I know they still support Mac. Maybe try Opera too. I just clicked the link and supposedly it only works with IE, have you tried the latest version for Mac? Another way is by using MagicLantern. ML tells me my 50D has racked up 36,000 shots in the three years...

Try again from scratch. Put the original Canon firmware back on the card and boot into that on the camera. Once the camera is running on that, uninstall ML, format it off the card, and copy all the root files back onto the card again, and then try the install again. Other than that I wouldn't...

You're definitely running on firmware 10.0.8? Once ML has fully installed you should turn the camera off and then back on again, and then it should work as expected. Just making sure as in your response you made it sound like you went straight to the menu once it had successfully installed.

There's an option for a cropped zoom frame in the middle of the image, so you can magnify that central frame to aid in focusing while keeping an eye on your overal framing around the outside while recording at the same time, if that makes any sense. As far as I'm aware there's no way to zoom in...
