It explains the best settings for the camera - any comments if these help the guys with problems

ashdavid Osteoglossum bicirrhosum 986 posts Joined Aug 2006 Location: Japan More info | I just can't see how all these cameras have these problems and I have yet to hear someone in Japan experience the same problems that everyone else is talking about. I have looked around some similar Japanese web pages and most problems refer to user error. Go figure? Maybe Japan got all the good copies however unlikely I find that to be. 1Ds MKIII, 5D, 30D, EF 50mm f/1.2L , EF 85mm f/1.2L , EF 24-70mm f/2.8L , EF 80-200mm f2.8L, EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS , EF 300mm f/2.8L , EF 400mm f2.8L IS, EF 800mm f5.6L IS EF 180mm f/3.5L Macro , EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro .....
