Thanks fpr the tip but I think its too late. I am up at Akureyri. The weather hasnt been that great. We only got 3 sunny days so far and if its not snowing the wind is so strong. Everyday its been in minus teritory. Today was minus 8 in most places. We have been hiking in thick snow. dettifoss...

Thanks guys for the info. I am here already.weather was so bad yesterday. Snow with winds so strong my check in luggage weighing 23 kg was moving by itself in the wind. Flight couldnt land and diverted. Ended up a super long day. Todays weather was better. But did the golden circle route...

Thansk dor the update. Will be arriving this friday. Yeah its been raining/snowing.

Calling all folks who have been to Iceland. I am going end of march and am wondering if I should lug my 70-200 along, or even the 100-400 for wildlife. Is it still to cold for birds? Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks

In Banff, if you want to shoot Elk, go to the golf course early in the morning or late just before sunset. Guranteed sighting. Hoodoos point has great views in the morning. Going up to Lake Louise, forget about using the highway. The old road is much nicer and many more sights. Daniel Wigget has...

I am in HKG now. Is $2080 a good price for body only?

Thanks for the info. I have been using my 135 with a 1.4 extender. Still can see a bit of the fence shadow

At 400mm f5.6 for f1 will you still see the fence in you pics?

I have both. If you are going for holiday its a mo brainer. 70-200. With the 135 you are going to miss a lot of shots.

If this lens is like the 70-300L then it will be a huge disappointment. It was soft at the long end at f5.6. No better than the 70-200 with an extender so whats the point in having it when you can just get an extender. I bought a copy and used it less than 3 times and sold it. However judging...

I have been using the f4 version for a little over a month. I must say I am pretty impressed by it. Some of my hand held pics were super sharp even at 1/6 sec. Took it with me to Canada, was great for waterfall scenes and also panning at very low speed. Previously used the 17-40. It is truly a...

Not heavy because its mostly plastic! I just got mine today. Called most places all no stock. Managed to find one for my trip tomm

Since your query is about AF, maybe i can share a little on this. I own the 5DMKII and a 50D. I can assure you that the 50D AF Is way way faster than the 5DMKII. So the 70D should even be better.
