Hehe, that's quite true, but at least I've improved it a bit, by getting a split screen from katzeye...

Another option is Haoda:

It makes focusing possible at least, although I'm definitely going to get a full frame camera when Canon has released the next version of the 5d (might get the old version, but I want to know what they have to offer at least).

Thats true, but they don't have screens with split image, which I like a lot more than matte. Amusingly enough, the Canon original is a lot cheaper though

Some light news for those of us who have a little bit of money to throw around...

Canon working on two new superteles

It's about time Canon revised the legendary 200/1.8L...the 200/2L IS looks like it's going to be an amazing lens for hopefully a decent price (probably $3500-$3900). The 800/5.6L IS is much more of a niche lens, since most people who need 800mm are just going to use a 600/4 + 1.4x combo. But for those who really need the reach and resolving power without the TC, or even need the 1120mm that a 1.4x would provide, the 800L is defintely going to be a beautiful lens that shouldn't cost more than the 600L.

Good for Canon for at least attempting to dig itself out of its 1DmkIII fiasco/Nikon hole.

Q. What is the fix that Canon has developed?

A hardware fix. Specifically, a component in the camera called the sub-mirror must be adjusted. The sub-mirror - also called the secondary mirror - is a tiny mirror behind the main mirror that passes light down to the autofocus module in the base of the mirror box. The adjustment procedure may include the swapping of one or more parts that make up the sub-mirror mechanism, though the sub-mirror component itself will not be replaced.

If it didn't belong to you why didn't you turn it in? Did you not think the owner wanted it back? Not cool...

Ah yes the new 200 and 400mm. I saw them when I went to Photo Expo. I think the 200m is pretty portable and hand holdable

The 800mm + converter should be cheaper than the $100,000 (or something insane) 1200mm

EFN, how are you liking the 40D?

I'm trying out the 35mm f/1.4L now. Last night was my first night with it. I decided against the 24mm because I heard it's not as good. So far I think it's pretty sweet as it's pretty sharp wide open. I find it a bit slow focusing though. I don't know what's up with that. I read it was supposed to be fast but fast compared to what?

Well, being that this is the Canon thread, I thought I might ask a question regarding an older camcorder, the L2. I've been looking around for a nice quality camcorder, and although it's getting old, the L2 caught my eye. Is this a good choice for someone just looking for a camera with good quality at a low price?
