Hi eggie, sounds like you encountered a strange problem. By chance is your 1.4X tele-converter a non-Canon one? I don't think the 100mmL lens (f2.8L macro lens?) can be used with the Canon 1.4X extender. If the teleconverter is indeed non-Canon, then chances are that is is simply not quite...

It could be related to the shutter speed. Can you check the shutter speeds for different shots with/without the problem and see if there is a pattern?

Yeah, it does look like a shutter problem. Why not bring in to CSC to check and confirm?

What reason did the service centre folks give you to warrant the additional 3 weeks? And how was the matter resolved in the end?

Stanley, $549 is the RRP for S110! So HN is just selling at RRP. Call Canon CSC to find out if S110 is included in PPP.

For those interested, Canon Singapore has now put out a 1-sheet marketing flyer for the 1D Mark III. It is available at their Harbourfront showroom, not sure about their other locations.

Hi Joecool, How is the Motorola T5500 compared to the Oregon Scientific TP380 that you mentioned in an earlier post? Which has got longer range/better reception? Thanks.

Have you tried Fotografix at Lucky Chinatown? They may carry some Pentax MF stuff.

Were you using the polarizing filter in the shots with dark corners (vignetting)? Did you stack filters ie. polarizing on top of the UV/sky filter? One possible reason why you don't see it all the time, is that the vignetting occurs only at the wider angles: 17mm+ and not throughout the...

How did you store the filter? It could be plastic outgassing from the filter container.

You can re-program the * (AE lock) to be an AF button using CF-4. This fature is in the 5D, and was already in the 20d etc. before that. Or were you looking at having a fully dedicated/seperate AF button?

Pre-view yes, but with samples too. Check out the ISO3200 samples.

For the f2.8 picture, the nearer objects at the botttom-left corner (sofa, umbrella) appear to be sharper. Did you check the focusing? At f2.8, dof can be quite narrow, even for 16mm.

Yes, based on my experience using the MjuII, that is how it works. One issue thought is that the 'spot meter' function gets reset whenever you swicth off the camera (slide cover closed). Which means that you have to press those two buttons again to reactivate spot. Hope that helps.
