Received my Canon EF-S 10-22mm 3.5-4.5 USM today

Feels weird having a lens attached that costs more than the body...

ChrisD. · 23 Jul 2013 at 15:06

It's a great lens, as is the similar Sigma 10-20.

Cheap but really happy with these, fit perfectly in the LCD area, well packaged and managed to get it one with no air bubbles! Ok it was the second one!

I prefer the GGS screen protectors, they offer more protection against bumps and knocks.

Genoma · 23 Jul 2013 at 20:29

I'll have a look at them. I think I dismissed another solid protector as they didn't fit well on flip out LCDs (650D here)

Janesy B · 23 Jul 2013 at 20:33

Ah okay, makes sense.

Olympus epl-5 and vf-4 one very good evf ,larger view than a full frame ovf due to magnification,and very detailed bright view also tilt-able,camera is nice aswell but the vf is almost the price of the camera ,vf does ruin the camera cosmetics a bit ,but won't be long before olympus implement them in later omd models.

Yup.. Tri SLI!

Wonder if mrk gets funny looks. Look at the size of that with a building site on top of it.

I take it the 3rd one is a spare in case 1 breaks and you can still shoot with 2?

Because i tried shooting with 3 cameras...it is bloody hard without an assistant!

Correct, and I can also hand one to an assistant/second shooter if I ever hire one although that's probably unlikely.

Recently had a garden wedding, and I was thinking it would have been nice to stick one high up somewhere and do a time lapse.

Raymond Lin · 25 Jul 2013 at 21:50

Re time lapse, I seen that done once by a videotographer.

I thought about doing it since, just need a remote.

Haven't had much of a play with it yet tbh, here's one I took yesterday afternoon though.

As you can see from the second shot, it's a little soft at the edges when shot wide open (10mm f/3.5) but I knew that when I bought it.

Hm, looking at your signature, I can understand the 3 D800's, but why the 2 85's, and both a 24-70 and 24-85?
