Re: I found an Exakta Lens to Canon EOS Camera Adapter on eBay

2008-04-16T17:41:06Z

After I mounted my Exakta lens on my Canon 5D using an adapter, when I tried to take a picture, the mirror would hit the mount. The resulting photo only shows the top 1/4 of the frame. Have you run into this problem?

All,

lithium-ion battery pack BP-511A,
battery charger CG-580,
manuals, blank USA warranty card,
USB cable - Interface Cable IFC-400PCU,
Video Cable VC-100
Software CDs

So, I am throwing in 4 cards by Lexar 1 GB each and a spare battery pack BP-511.

Camera is in mint condition, was a back-up camera for my 1D.
The body is in mint condition, the box is like new, all packaging is
in place if you want
to make it a present. Close to 6,000 shots fired; the shutter
for this model was certified for 100,000 actuations. This is a camera
body only offer, no lenses, not a kit.

Shipping by Fedex within 48 states is included in price: $1,000 ( one thousand).
I am from Portland, OR area.

I also have 85mm L for sale: $1,250. Also mint. That's the first
iteration of the lens, not the 85L MkII
The hood has scuffs, the lens itself is mint, razor-sharp wide open.
No boxes, no papers except from bill of sale from MidWest Exchange -
the folks I bought it from.
My wife keeps hers (she has 2 more) and I want to try an MkII next spring.

Shipping to 48 states by Fedex is included.

on a sidenote: she thinks she is better off with the slower focusing
lens. she claims it's different shooting culture..

Never bought a second hand lens refurbished from Canon, never seen any here
in Canada.

Generally you should get a good price reduction but sometimes at the expense
of a shorter warranty, and sometimes it's overall cheaper to buy an extended
warranty from a 3rd party warranty firm to cover the duration you are
comfortable with and still pay less overall.

Some credit cards offer automatic warranty extension, mine "doubles the
warranty up to an additional one year", so you get a 6 month extension if
the OEM warranty was 6 months, but you only get one year extension even if
the OEM warranty is 2 years.

Note however that some credit card does not cover "refurbished" items under
this warranty, I've lucked out once getting the battery of a refurbished
laptop replaced ($$$), yet was refused later when the LCD screen started
acting up.

Hi Pattie,

Santa brought me a Huey......

I have two experiences with Canon refurbed lenses. One is second hand,
a friend bought a couple of things, a 10D and some leneses, from B&H
that were "used" and rated condition 10. He found out that when B&H
rates a used Canon product, lens or body, a 10 is is either a store
sample or a Canon salesperson's sample. In either case Canon goes over
them and they are like new but can't be sold as new. My friend is very
happy with the items and told me about the ratings, etc.....

The other is my experience. I bought my 28-135 IS from B&H as used and
condition 10. It came in a Canon box that was marked used. The lens
was like new and has worked flawlessly since I bought it a few years
ago. The cost savings was pretty good too.

If I saw a lens or body that I was eyeing , and it was on B&H's used
list at condition 10, I would not hesitate to order it.

Bob

gear. :-) Santa gave me an IOU for the lens I've had my eye on, and
although I have the go-ahead to buy it new, since it's my money too, I
am hoping to save a bit by buying a second-hand version.

So... has anyone on the list had any experience buying a lens

software should be able to give a signal when you run out of the

Hi Willem-Jan,

A friend with one of Canon's 65mm macro lenses (usable in the 1:1 to 5:1
range), used it on my EOS 10D and took something like 5 or 6 focus stacked
frames for each of a stereo pair of some quite small items in the extreme
close-up region. Both sets were then put through.Heliconfocus, and printed
as a stereo pair. The result on some of his samples were quite stunning
stereo images of items such as lichen.

EOS OT: DxO Raw Converter

2006-12-22T02:47:30Z

Hello,

Sorry for being off topic.

I wonder if anybody on the list works with the latest version of DxO optics?

At the moment I work with Photoshop 7 and Canons Raw Converter. I would like to optimise workflows and would like to know if Dxo Optics is a good overall tool or replacement.

Especially the new Filmpack feature seems interesting to me to simulate various analog films like Velvia. Although shooting digital for over a year now with a 1D Mark II I´m still a Velvia fan :-)

Thanks for any feedback.

And of course: Merry christmas and a happy new year to all of you!

Cheers,

Marco

Looking at
http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ProductCatIndexAct&fcategoryid=120

Canon has the four flatbed scanners when you look fior "Film and
Negative Scanners". All are shown at B&H website.

Looks like Canon doesn't make any of the FS 2710 to 4000 type film
scanners anymore.

I concur, Canon Canada fixed this for me (for free) in less then a couple of minutes, so I couldn't help but to try finding out how they can fix it so quickly, it was as indeed as simple as described above.

This is assuming the loose screws are the only problem rather than anything that is worn or busted.

Richard,

This happens sometimes, and it is fairly simple to repair.
The flash mount is mounted with 4 screws. You can acces these screws by removing the black inside part of the flash-mount. You can do this bij lifting up at the back side (2x) and then slide it off. It is a simple metal spring that covers the screws.
Tighten the screws and remount the black spring, and you are ready.

EOS flash mount on 20D

2006-12-15T02:08:38Z

Hi,

The flash mount on my 20D has become very loose indeed. I don't suppose
anyone else on the list has had this happen and have any recommendations
how to fix it. The camera's out of warranty.

If not, any pointers on how much it's going to cost to fix (GBP).

Merry Christmas!

Hi Cotty,
Thanks for reminding me - I had seen that review earlier, and I've also
spent much time recently re-reading 5D and 1D MkII (&N) reviews. I've also
dusted off my EOS 3 and shot similar scenes with that camera. and checked
the critically sharp hit rate. Like an idiot I used negative film which I
thought I could assess under a microscope - not as well as I need, so I'll
probably repeat using slide film.

In the mean time, I am surprised by the high price of used 1D MkII* and N
variant bodies - in the case of an N rather too close to the latest prices
for a totally new camera, with a full year's warranty.
*Although I did chase after one at £900 for a few days. Backed out as I
became very suspicious of the seller's real intentions.

Thanks Cotty.

A useful reference. In practice, and over several thousand shots in the
last year, with my 5D, I've only observed the light fall-off when doing
tests specifically looking for it. The effect seems totally absent (!)
when I check out my 17-35 EX HSM Sigma (original model). Don't know why -
the AF motor on the Sigma has failed so my usable widest is the EF 20 f2.8,
which can be horrific at f2.8 on some shots, and less so on others.

My current gripe with my 5D is that the central AF spot is ever so slightly
lower than the rectangle marker in the viewfinder. Has lead to quite a few
out of focus shots (similar to front focusing, which it isn't) of small
birds against near glancing angle backgrounds such as paths etc.

I have, but nothing really useful.

No. And may I say this is an excellent resource. Thanks! I will also
browse through the Adobe forums, mentioned on this page. For others:
apparently, the case is this: [executive summary :)]

If your camera's RAW format is fully supported by DNG Converter, you
don't loose a thing by converting to DNG. If it is not, you can loose
some of the metadata, and (probably?) some of the image data when the
image is not written in a form that ACR understands... The list of
supported cameras:

Hi

ahha, I missed from your post that you were meaning DNG when you said
'digital negative'

>And I still don't know whether I have the same "flexibility" with DNG as

you do ... it keeps everything

I use dng, as I have a 20D and a CP 5000 that both make raw

I DO not embedd the original file

have you done any web searching??

have you found this page?

Re: EOS How to use IS with 100-400 L?

2006-12-12T13:04:19Z

Thanks to all for your suggestions.

I used the lens at two games last weekend and liked it (and the
results) better than I thought I would, but am still torn as to
whether to ask Santa to bring me one due to the drawbacks. Something
to think about. :-)

Thanks again!

your could perhaps try to convert all now to the Adobe DNG format, as I
understand it, it will support the lossless storage of all the data
contained in the RAW formats.

I suspect that it'll transcend platforms, and while it may require
licencing, it'll be perhaps as persistant as Adobe is.

Tapani, that is a clever hint. Thank you. I remeber now that you wrote
about this some time ago. I will do the same, thank you. And this will
certainly help me, since I am a developer, so C is no problem. In that
case, I don't have to really worry. I will just create jpeg files to go
with the RAW files (for quick viewing, web publishing etc).

Miha

ps: [totally off-topic] I use IMatch for DAM (digital asset management)
and it is a very fine and capable program, which does the RAW conversion
as well (using the Canon SDK). For RAW processing I use RSE, and now
increasingly Lightroom.
