I have been costing windows equivalents and by the time I get what I think I "need[emoji30]" to update, I am back to a lower spec Mac book pro [emoji57]. I will see what is about and maybe go back into apple mode[emoji57]

I have come to the end of my affair with macs, I need an alternative medium for post processing or just storage. Old Mac book pro upgraded as much as I can afford, old iMac G5 limited upgrade due to no intel Plus 4tb LaCie. I just want an alternative ( not bothered by make) machine to use to...

Thanks all, I am having computer issues at the moment which is why the response is late. My thoughts were use the 17-85 but interested in the bracketing option with 400 there is not enough width where I usually go (cliffs at the end of my garden [emoji106]) but I also hadn't considered filters...

I need advise on a canon set up for seascape/landscape/sunsets Low(ish) light (sunsets) and options. I have either a 450d or 7d with 17-85, 50mm f1.8 or 400mm f5.6 (which does not seem any good with me using it for sunsets) I have had more success with 17-85 help please

I am sure that there are several forums on this subject but I could use some advice on which bag to get. Gripped 7d + 400 f5.6 attached plus gripped 450 with 17-85 would be ideal, with a couple of small and a flash gun plus manfrotto legs. Both seem to be similar capacity and cost but unable to...

I have to be honest, the 300 is looking more likely, I don't think I would ever be able to justify (let alone afford) the 400 2.8

This hasn't helped me, I now want 400 2.8, I thought I was almost sorted with the 5.6 or possibly get siggy 150-600

I am on the verge of a 7Dmk2 and had convinced myself that a 400 f5.6 was going on the business end, I am more than happy with the prime as I have been using one on a borrowed 7d mk1 I want it for coastal birds mainly, particularly Kestrals, Hobbies, Buzzards and Peregrines, all within walking...

Snap, I have just posted a similar item. It sounds as though I have not taken my research on as far as you so will now google. Let me know the outcome of any replacement. I love my 17-85 it is pretty much lens of every choice

I believe that the error is with the lens contacts, as it only seems to happen with 1 lens?

My 450D is not taking photos at the moment sending an error code "Err 01 communications between the camera and lens is faulty. Clean the lens contacts" What has happened? How do I do this, or does it have to go away to be done? It only seems to happen on auto focus, although has happened on...

👍Thanks everyone, 70-200 (f2.8 if I can) is now the next thing, I am revitalised by your comments and another 450d will follow 😄😄

Thanks Andy, I fancy the 70-200 although would prefer the f2.8 just wasn't sure whether the 450 would cope with it and need to start on the new body journey. If they work together and I get the improvements I want, I am happy with the 450 and wouldn't mind another. The 75-300 is pretty poor to...

I really like to shoot a bit of everything. Landscape, portrait and would like action sports plus birds/wildlife. Lenses not much if an issue really as only have a EFS17-85 which is bolted on most of the time plus an EF 1.8 50mm and an EF 75-300 4-5.6, plus the kit lens that came with it, not...
