What happen when 3 Kenko extention tubes meet with a Sigma 1.4x teleconverter and a Canon 100 Macro lens? They merge together to create the Macrosaurus Rex! First, let me say this little project had no particular goal in mind other than seeing what the end result would be.…

This has to be the best spoof I have ever seen. It sums up pretty well the feeling of some 5D owners… You can order a 7d here and 5D here if you want to support this site. If so, thank you!…

A month ago I announced a small contest to give away my old Cactus remote triggers, having switched (finally) to the much more reliable PocketWizard PLUS II. The contest is now over and I am entering all the link sources into Excel to randomly pick a winner.…

It has not been 24 hours since the announcement of the Canon 7D and we are already seeing some very strong reactions in the blogosphere. Those who did not purchase a 5D are happy like kids at Christmas while 5D Mark II owners feel betrayed and frustrated to various degrees.…

Seems like I was wront again or the Canon crew really like to contradict me! Yesterday Canon announced the 7D. Is it better than the 5dMRKII? Well, it does have what everyone missed from the 5d Mark II: variable frame rate (23.976, 24, 29.97, 30, 50 and 59.94), higher burst rate (8fps) and, most important for all for photographer: a better AF system and 100% viewfinder.…

As you all know from my previous reviews, I am a big fan of the D-focus follow focus system. It is priced cheap enough to make even Indian stuff seem expensive while doing a decent job. While following Dave on Twitter I noticed his tweet about every new D-Focus coming in black with an accessory port to plug a crank or whip.…

Jon Fairhurst made an excellent review of various audio devices you can use with the 5D MrkII. While the video are a few weeks old, I just discovered them (shame on me). Fortunately, the timing is perfect since I am looking at a complementary audio solution to my Sennheiser MKE 400 which I plug directly in the 5DMrkII.…

I have seen this question a few times in various forums so I thought it would be another good fit for the “The Basics” section. Since people rarely explain what they would consider “best”, I assume they are talking about the best shutter speed to achieve a filmic look.…
