The Mk IIN does have a manual mode, yes.

Moving from the 5D to the IIN, I don't really miss full frame. You deal with whatever you see through the viewfinder, after all.

I thought it had (as Ive been using it in manual for over a year!) but that post made me think that the MKIII had something extra.?

I love the speed of the MKIIn, Id also miss the extra length that a crop sensor gives me trackside.

LOL! I was confused for a sec since my 1D has a few modes. A newer model has less. Odd

Have you got a 6mp one? Does it have scenic modes?

Wooooh! That brings us down to earth. The dead man was an innocent bystander.

Turns out he was shot by police with an M4.



Can't catch up on the goss. Only just got back from couple nights away, and camping under the stars... Literally. Slept on a beautiful beach at Cathedral Cove. Will get some images up at some point, but for now, I'm going on a boat trip around the harbour with a friend.

Elysium - Why on earth have you got a sigma 17-35 and a 17-40L?

He's afraid that someone will steal the 17-40, so he only uses the Sigma when he's more than a mile away from home...

I love mine - Great for garage/pitbox work.

Nope. No 1 series body had these. Not even my EOS 1 (35mm). Its only 4mp :P

I picked up the L only recently. Planning to sell the Sigma one v soon. Been useless.

Easy choice.

The lens.

Pete extremely fast site well done!
And rgeat photos.
One small observation:
The exif info displays shutter speed and exposure, both of which are showing the same detail.

I think you might be right mate. Im a little worried about the issues with the MKIII, and I lurve that glass.

Yeah, I need to sort that out. Shutter speed is also being displayed in a weird format.

I've had my Mk IIN for the last year now, I trust it implicitly now that I've gotten used to it.

Again these pages fly by

@Mitesh - nice group of street candids, something I have very rarely done!

On prices - I spotted in my local LCE window this evening a 300mm IS L for £799, a 400mm DO for £3495 and I think a 1Ds body for £1299. The 300 certainly appeals but no budget though having said that I have no idea if that is a good price???

Right noe to have a gander at Pete's site
