You asking for trouble Tinkerbell?

At least the lack of ice oop norf is balanced by more ice than normal doon sarf.

Now that's what I call a grad filter.....

I forgot how handy these things are until I got one out to play with the other day.

Cliff whats the cost compared to the P series

A lot. To get the holder, 77mm adapter and one filter, cost me 415 bucks including GST. (ordered in through Apix)

I think the filters are around $120 by themselves. Bloody big thick things.

Absolutely no vignetting on my 10-20 - which is what I'm wanting. Cool.

If we head out tomorrow, (if it's OK with you) I might take a shot with your 1DS and see if any vignetting is present. I suspect there will be.

Supposed to be wicked, nasty weather this weekend, yet right now my clothes are drying beautifully in the shining sunlight.....tonight should be fun then.

That is of course if these weather dudes have it right.

I've posted that photo before. Quite a lot of vignetting at 10mm on fulframe with the 10-20......no filter required.

opinions please guys/gals!

i have just over $1K to play around with shortly for some toys.

i want to get a macro lens (have condisered getting extension tubes = cheaper) and found a reasonable price for a brand new 100mm USM. I also want to upgrade my walk around lens (my main lens) and replace the 17-85mm. have looked at the 17-55mm and with the trade in, it should post no problems in affordability :P

which one of these lens should I go for?!? hmmmm.... :P

Thanks. I have seen some shots taken with the set-up, just interested to see just how much I can get away with.

Do you have one of those shots handy? A link to a past post would suffice (if you can easily find one).

17-55 f/2.8 IS plus extension tubes with 50mm f/1.8 will solve both those requirements - and the extn tubes + 50mm will only set you back about $200 so you should be able to get both - or if you get extn tubes which are ef/ef-s you can use them directly on the 17-55 lens

OK so "quite alot" is an understatement. Sigma 10-20 @ 10mm on the 5D:

EFS 17-55 f2.8 IS is a sweet lens! Giving it up was the biggest drawback of upgrading to the 5D

No lens hood? Just the lense in that shot?

It happens occasionally. I am legendary in my own mind.
