I don't remember when was the last time I used my 17-40L to shoot anything important. This shows that I really don't need UWA. tongue.gif

Hey mengsuan: You selling off the 2.8L?? How come? I would have thought you will sell off the f4 instead.

2.8 too soft for you ah?

Added on August 6, 2008, 6:10 amceh.. so misleading.. Lens sold... but signature not changed...

Nono, that's my friend's f/2.8L, not mine. The f/4L is reserved by another gentleman.
Hehe.. Lazy to change signature yet. Will do. Sorry for attracting you to a sold lens. tongue.gif

Yup, but well, I have to decide which do I really need most.

I find the 50mm quite disturbing as I have to stand further for my needs of wide aperture.
*
That's when you need a Sigma 30mm f/1.4. tongue.gif

Yeah, but mine is version 1.3 It supports 450D. I think version 1.2 supports 40d already

If you have things like version 1.3, that is Canon RAW CODEC, not Microsoft RAW Image Thumbnailer and Viewer.

Canon 40D users,

Any of you guys/girls have any luck of viewing RAW via Windows Explorer? Downloaded the latest codec (Canon RAW Codec 1.3) but still no luck...
*
No, cannot. I've tried many ways.

The closest thing that I can make is install Windows Live Gallery and Canon RAW codec. Live gallery is a bit buggy when viewing RAW; it will process non-stop attempting to load the RAW but the photo will remain pixelated.
Still failed to let the RAW load in thumbnail.

Is that why the speed is slow when it showing picture?
*
Each RAW is about 10MB in size. Compared to 3MB of JPEG, the reading time will be longer.

QUOTE(wjie20 @ Aug 6 2008, 09:54 PM)
Erh, Mac is Apple, which is a computer? Just so you know
So, what do you use to view RAW?
*
Canon DPP.

QUOTE(Pennywise @ Aug 6 2008, 10:10 PM)
Woww... this is amazing. Has anyone tried it?

Added on August 6, 2008, 10:14 pmSorry if this is a newbie question. When we take raw, we can still adjust brightness and saturation, etc, yes?

Do we need to install the Canon CD software to do that or what?
*
Not compulsory to install Canon software. You can use Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom. Adobe software renders the RAW image quite closely to Canon DPP.

RAW gives you a lot of choice to adjust picture parameters. Brightness and saturation is just one of the many options.

I use GP Recycko, similar to eneloop. Can last for many shots and low discharge rate. Just RM90 for 4 pcs with charger; much cheaper than uniross.

Edit: Made mistake

can we override this and control the flash's power to our own preference?

Yes, flash always have conventional manual settings. E-TTLII is considered a luxury.

E-TTL II is useful for event shooting. No time to perform trial-and-error. Manual is for me to play around during my leisure time, just like prime lens. tongue.gif

Of course. 580EX II is the best in Canon flash line up.

QUOTE(wjie20 @ Aug 8 2008, 12:31 AM)
So, if say I would adjust the flash so that it's not directly on the subject, more like bouncing of the ceiling or something. Would the flash still take the reading?
Or this is when I should play with shutter speed, ISO and Aperture?
*
The flash will still use E-TTL II when bouncing flash. The flash unit will emit a preflash to predict power level. The preflash is so fast that you don't realise it.

580EX II has fast recycling rate, high power and has most cosmetic features.

Ah, and don't forget the 360 degree turn.

So, if I buy a flash...I can just leave it on E-TTL and slot it on my camera and start using it?
*
Yeah, sure. Don't be frightened with all the fancy looking panel. It's actually easier to use than built-in flash. It gives more consistent output.
