I need 2.8 for shooting indoor events hand held. I do Landscape shots currently with the 7D so my thoughts were to get at least one wide lens for the 5D to make use of the larger sensor. My train of thought was to replace all the EF-S lenses at some point so I can use both bodies with a smaller...

Yes I regularly shoot at f2.8

I have been happy shooting with a 7D for a few years and will likely keep the camera for my 100-400(wildlife, zoo trips and motorsport) but I have bought a 5D MkII and right now I use the 70-200 f4 IS on there and love it to bits. What I would like to do is get another lens for the 5D and sell...

I bought a second hand Lee .9 hard grad and it's always left a cast, I've just checked it against my other 3 Lee filters and low and behold the .9 hard grad is the only one without a date etched on so I assume I've been had and I've bought a fake.

A few from last months family holiday to Woolacombe Bay in North Devon, I love the beach and the rocks around this area. A Far Away Land (Explored 29-08-13) by Gareth Spiller, on Flickr Receding Tide by Gareth Spiller, on Flickr Rock Texture by Gareth Spiller, on Flickr Woolacombe Fire...

North Devon A Far Away Land (Explored 29-08-13) by Gareth Spiller, on Flickr

I have both the 70-200 f4 IS and the 100-400L and I will keep both as they both suit different needs for my photography. I would say that the 70-200 f4 IS is the sharpest lens I own and it is small enough and light enough to take travelling so that's the one which goes in my bag for holidays...

I have the same lens lineup 17-55 and 10-22 on my 7D and also shoot cars, the UWA is very good for engine bay and interior shots. You would have to watch for distortion at 10-12mm doing rig shots if you are using a short boom.

Yes, I use mine on a 70-200 f4 IS and it is very good. I'm not really into macro work so didn't want to spend lots on a dedicated macro lens. Couple of examples Square Eyes by Gareth Spiller, on Flickr Baby Bee by Gareth Spiller, on Flickr The Fly by Gareth Spiller, on Flickr...

I was lucky enough to get a work trip to Dubai the other week, I hope I get to go back again and spend a bit more time and explore this amazing city. Surfing at the Burj Al Arab by Gareth Spiller, on Flickr

It's been done to death but it was my first time at the Lakes so I had to get a shot. This was the only sunset I saw in 2 weeks, wasn't so lucky with the weather but didn't bother me too much the walks were still fantastic.

Some recent shots with the Raynox on the end of my 70-200 f4 IS

I was in San Diego for the past two weeks doing some work in the NASSCO shipyard. The weather was very mixed, plenty of thick cloud most of the time but when the sun did come out I was quick to find a spot and take some pictures. First three are from Sunset Cliffs This one from...

My shots from a few hours spent at Clivedon House National Trust just outside London near Taplow on May 13th when they open up the drive to all high end supercars. It has been going for years and was based around the anual Ferrari Day but now open to all supercars. I don't know how many millions...
