Hi, I am planning to add to my 24-105mm f/4L and 50mm f/1.2L lenses a close up lens (Canon 500D) to be able to take some Macro Photos I have already installed in each lens a B+W XS-Pro Digital UV Filter, can I just screw on top of the UV Filter the Close Up Lens ?, or I have to remove it and...

I was checking for some wipes to clean my camera lenses (Canon 50mm f/1.2L and Canon 24-105mm f/4L), I am concern that I might damage the coating, what do you think ?, thanks http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0030HG054/ref=oss_product NOTE: I am using also the B+W UVA (Ultra Violet) Haze MRC...

I just got my new Canon 50mm f/1.2L lens, and after taking some picture with 1.2 aperture the main subject is clearly OUT OF FOCUS, I think the main reason is that at 1.2 the DOF is super shallow. I was reading that the Canon 7D has the Custom Function to do a AF Micro adjustment to the Lens...

Hi, I need some expert advice, I have a Canon 7D and the 50mm f/1.2L, 24-105mm f/4L and the 50mm f/2.5 Macro, I want to buy UV filters mainly to protect the front Lens, one option is to buy the Canon UV HAZE filters and the other one I like is the Sigma DG UV Multi Coating filters, any previous...

I just got my EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens today, reading the manual, it says to install the Canon PROTECT filter to seal the lens for Dust, Humidity, etc., do I need to buy that specific filter ?, or I can use any standard UV filter installed, currently I have installed the SIGMA DG UV 72mm filter...

Hi, is there a way to know the 7D Camera Body Manufacture Date ?, usually you can get this data from the Body S/N, but I have not been able to get that information, any feedback ?, thanks

I just got my 7D this Monday, been playing around and taking some pictures (around 50), the battery was around 75% yesterday noon, and sudenly yesterday night I tried to use the camera and got the message of an almost dead battery and the camera refused to turn on. I removed the battery, then...

The other day I took some pictures (100) with my GH1 and did some video while my son was at a Wrestling match, videos were done at 1280x720 60fps, and I have to say the result is AMAZING, videos are VERY VERY GOOD. I am not very satisfied with the pictures though, most of the movement shots are...

What happens when recording a movie within the Advanced Scene Modes, like PORTRAIT, SCENERY, SPORTS, CLOSE-UP and NIGHT PORTRAIT ?, the movie will be recorded using those predefined settings ?, thanks

Hi, today I decided to test the Battery and Camera performance, so I simulated a picture session, I was able to shoot 2,500 photos in iA mode with NO flash, and the battery indication is STILL FULL, amazing, after 2,500 photos !!!!. I took around 1,500 photos manually, meaning pressing the...

I've been testing the Kit Lens and the Pancake Lens with my GH1, and I've noticed the Kit Lens (14mm - 140mm) is MUCH MUCH faster doing AF than the Pancake Lens (20mm), I would say easily double faster. Have you noticed the same or it's just me ?, thanks

I've been playing around with my new GH1, mainly navigating through the menus, checking AF, testing the EVF, etc., maybe 1 to 2 hours a day (max), and after 2 or 3 days the battery is GONE. I have configured the Power Saving to 15 sec the display and 2 min the whole camera. Am I doing...

Hi, I am new to GH1 and I am a little confused with the Focus Mode dial operation. The default position for the AF Dial is AFS (AF Single) with the letters AFS in front of the "dot" on the body. Then if I move the Dial to AFC (AF Continuous), AFC letters in front of the "dot", I will get a...

Hi, sorry if this is a basic question, I am new to GH1, and just got installed the 20mm f/1.7 lens, and I've noticed the lens is continuously doing AF as I move the camera to a different subject, exposure is set yo iA (auto mode), what I have to do, to disable this and have AF only when I press...
