Decided to go the T1i route for now

[Lammy]

I'm curious, does the T1i meter in liveview? Does it tell you the ISO/SHUTTER as you point it around?

This should answer the questions about the twist method (you can select your F-stop using the twist method. You're not locked into wide open as I originally stated). And there's a step by step method for getting 1/60th shutter locked and then the exposure compensation wheel only changes the ISO value. You'll have 1600, 800, or 400 to choose from.

Here is what our rig is looking like:

Matte Box, Custom CF rails and a very nice Comer 900 led light.

Hi Kit, thanks for a very informative thread. I'm considering the T1i for a project and reading this is useful. Earlier you mentioned using FD's did you ever get that to work? Or did you just go with Nikons?
