I was honestly surprised by just how small it is, but it seems to be pretty sharp wide open and the quality is quite good!   1000px 181212_4758 by keith_r_rutherford, on Flickr2 x 5dc::50d::canon 28/1.8::canon 40/2.8::canon 50/1.4::canon 100/2::sigma 70-200/2.8::2 x canon 430 exii

Will be interested to hear your comments of how it performs on your 5Dc Keith. 5Dc || 28mm f/1.8 || 28-70 f/3.5-4.5 || 50mm f/1.4 || 100mm f/2.0

Most of the time f/2.8 is enough for me, both in terms of light and DoF control. If you enjoy the FL (I strongly prefer the 35ish range to the 50ish range), I think that you're going to have to spend about 6x the money for better, and even then you're sacrificing the nice compactness of the 40. Bill is my name - I'm the most wanted man on my island, except I'm not on my island, of course. More's the pity.

I tried using a regular backpack for a while but the tripod was too loose in there. I had a few people asking me about this over on the Diavel forum, so I made a post and the gear photo you quoted was shot for that write up, you can check it out if you're interested: http://www.diavel-forum.com …slr-gear-on-a-motorcycle/ Fitting the Panckae mounted on the camera in the side padding definitely shouldn't be an issue. It barely protrudes past the camera body! Love the Diavel! Thats it, my Monster 696 is getting shot this weekend! I strap the tripod to lashings that are on my backpack when I ride and have the camera. Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/ZeroedInPhotography
