    Just to clarify, lens will be used on a 1.6 cropped frame (EOS300D, EOS20D). Thxs again, Carlos Carlos Martins Portugal www.cj.smugmug.com

    Hello, I am trying to upgrade my Zenitar 16mm to something with auto aperture. I know most people here got the Sigma, but being so close in price I wonder if the Canon won't be a better value... Has anyone tried both and can speak pros and cons? Optical quality... build quality... I know someone alerted about fog issues with the Canon but I know a guy who jumps one and he has no fogging problems, so maybe it's a problem specific to local conditions...?? Any help would be appreciated! Blue Skies Carlos Carlos Martins Portugal www.cj.smugmug.com

    SkysufCam Thanks for the excellent lens review - it would deserve a separate thread! You prolly know CAnon's 15 mm F2.8. Could you please analyze this one... Thanks again! Carlos Martins Portugal www.cj.smugmug.com

    Ouch! Same happened to me one month ago under a Sabre 2 170. I was three weeks down - sore ribs on the front side and distended back muscles. Luckily I wasn't wearing my stills, 500 gr more and I think I could have cracked my neck. I think it was my fault. Probably I was still tracking. The N-VertigoX stayed on head, though...

    Hi, I've made two illustrations about the crop factor on digital SLR's. As it is a subject that is quite recurrent here, I'm posting this two pictures. Hope it helps someone understanding the crop factor issue. PS:Please note that the proportions between the cropped frame at 1.6 and the full frame may not be accurate. This is just for illustration.

    I know a guy who jumps a Nikon Coolpix 8 Mpix with the Conceptus tongue switch. I'm not sure but he's probably using this gizmo: http://www.harbortronics.com/products5000.asp BSkies, Carlos Carlos Martins Portugal www.cj.smugmug.com

    Brian, Hi! I've replied without realizing who was asking!

    Don't forget the russian's 16 mm like Zenitar. I am using the kit lense (18-35) with a 0.5 converter that threads in front of it (just like a camcorder). The result is something like a 14mm on a 35mm (full frame camera). It's a heavy setup that has troubles to keep focused, but I am having fun. I've ordered the Zenitar 16 mm from e-bay and I'm waiting for it to arrive. It will work like a 26 mm on the 300D, so I'll have to shoot farther away. Or aim carefully.

    HI Everybody, I am trying to set up a trip (with 6 friends) to Aerograd still this August and we have all the paperwork on hold because of the invitation-to-get-the-ticket-to-get-the-voucher-to-get-the-visa soap opera... We cannot reach no one at Aerograd either by phone or e-mail. We've tried all the addresses and numbers in the website to no avail. Can any of you who've been there assist with a reliable contact? Thanks and BlueSkies, Carlos Carlos Martins Portugal www.cj.smugmug.com
