Well, it´s just a consideration for the future ;-)

Ok, I watch out for the filters :-) Thanks!

Hm... the only speedlight product I can find is a flash for the camera mount. I´m searching for something like that (not for use on the camera, I just need a portable light source with different color modes)...

Hi guys! I´m searching for a small but powerful lightbox - preferable LED with different color modes, powered by batteries. Not neccessarly with a camera flash mount - I just need a mobile and bright light source (wanna use it for street photography at night). Any suggestions? Thanks Cas

Quick report: I fixed it ! I focused at an object at 28 mm distance (it was at the 35 distance mark on the focus ring). Then I did loosen the screws to re-calibrate the inner focus to the hard stop at the left - now I have much more range to reach hyperfocal distance (y) It was much easier...

Well, I will give it a shot and look into the 7-day-trial...

As I said, got a lot of things to learn. I´m 41 years old and just got into Photography. Now I have the feeling that I wasted the last 23 years of my life to do a job I don´t really like... Never too late to start over, right? :D Well, you´re absolutely right - but I just wanna know if this...

Good to know! Never thought about infinitiy cannot be at the hard stop... Thanks for the clarification. I just bought it, it´s a new lens (should be ^^). Also thanks for the advice, I will do new test-shots (after I calibrated the focus ring) at daylight and upload the images. And I´m chomping...

Well, I don´t mind about a correctly positioned focus ring - main thing to me is minimum and infinitiy should be at the hardstop positions. I focus via optical finder and/or live view. Especially when I do shots at night I cannot see the distance marks on the ring anyway ^^ @HoppyUK That´s the...

Hi guys, does anyone watching the Masterclass Sessions from Annie Leibovitz? I heard a lot of divided opinions about it. Some critique because of she "doesn´t teaches photography at all - it´s just a portrait of herself being a philosopher". I´m curious about your opinions :-) Thanks and...

I tested the lens with another body and the results were the same - no chance to reach infinitity focus. I tested the hardstop at the left (minimum focus) - sharpness should be at round about 28 cm object distance (which is what the manual says). But for minimum focus distance I have to move...

Thanks for the advice, at first I´ll try another body (already have a 80D in mind - the 500D is good but comes to a point it doesn´t fit my demands anymore). If the lens will show the same issue, I hope a camera shop can fix it. At the moment I´m not able to get it in focus at infinitiy.

Hi guys! At first, english isn´t my native language, so sorry if talk nonsense :-) I´m a rookie and I´m interested into astro and landscape photography. I use a Canon EOS 500D from 2009 and I´m pretty ok with the overall results. My lens of choice for astro and landscape is the Samyang 14mm...
