I had the 24-105 for a while, it was my first L lens, and I'm afraid I was never impressed with it. The focal lengths on a crop worked out less than ideal. The wide end at about 38 was not really wide enough, and the long end often seemed a bit short. My copy may have been a bit "off" but I...

Looks like a tough call between the Sigma & Nissin:thinking:

QNAP are worth a look. Their supprt is very good also. http://www.qnap.com/uk/index.php?lang=en-uk&sn=5050&c=2485

7-8 years is not that old. There are a few lenses introduced in the early to mid 90s. I believe the 200 2.8 L dates from 91.

As Woody Allen once said "This is a travesty. It's a travesty of a mockery of a sham of a mockery of a travesty of two mockeries of a sham."

The Viewsonic VP2770 looks to be worth considering. Although it is a bit pricey. http://www.pcpro.co.uk/reviews/monitors/377770/viewsonic-vp2770-led

My one does that, probably worse than yours, it don't stop at 75 :bonk:

Thanks for that. :thumbs:

Well I finally made a decision and went for a 6D, it was a close call but I felt the 5D2 was getting a bit long in the tooth. The camera arrived today and I cant wait to get out and about, but I have a couple of questions. What screen protectors are good to use? Manualfocus_g, I see...

I've used the 24-105L and although it is a very good lens, from my experience and from what I've read, it does not always seem to shine on a crop frame. Also, the focal length works out less than ideal, 38 is bit too long for true wide angle, and 168 often seems a bit short for tele. I know some...

I'm thinking of getting a 5D2 or 5D3 and can't quite decide which would be best for me. I would use it mostly for landscapes/buildings, macro and some studio type stuff. My thoughts are to go for the 5D3, however, I have some old CZJ glass that I would like to make more use of, and also I...

Is it possible the suction from the vacum cleaner caused the sensor to bend or deflect, and that has resulted in some distortion or delamination of the sensor.

One thing I would like to have seen on the 6D is a flippy rear screen. It would be a really nice feature, offering a FF option for those doing low down macro work, and handy for movie mode. I think it would also place it nicely with respect to the 5D3.

Thinking of replacing my old 350D. I take mostly landscape and macro. I'm looking at the 60 & 650 as I feel the flippy screen will be handy for low down macro work. You thoughts and comments will be appreciated. many thanks, Steve.
