Hi robotech, When you conducted these IBIS tests, did you have the camera held away from you or pressed against your face? Thank you, Sabesh.

Pre-flash or not, it's good travel-size! I'm liking mine .. No need to lug around the 580EX-II on vacation anymore (click on pics for access to larger image sizes):

@ Night Safari:

Thanks guys, this is great info! Now I'm thinking that I should take the 85L.II or 135L instead of the 50L for available light pics or potraits. Cheers.

True, the Vignetting disappears after f/4, but distortion remains @ 24mm nonetheless. It can be correct via PS most times, but verticals tend to be hard to correct. On the other hand, I think that the 24-105L is the best walkaround lens this side of Nikon's 18-200VR for crop cams. The 24-105L...

This is the classic focus-shift issue common to this lens: Happens when you shoot really closeup & stop down. See here: http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=371097 Cheers, Sabesh.

24-105L vignettes & has barrel distortion @ the widest ends (on FF). Hence, the 16-35mm,Mk.II will be a good UWA compliment.

I can recommend the Canon 16-35mm,Mk.II lens. Fast focus, sharp in centre as well as corners. Flare is well controlled throughout the FL and barrel distortion isn't obvious @ 20mm & longer.

Hi all, I'll be travelling to Singapore at the end of this year. I'm wondering which lenses to bring. I'm considering the following three Canon lenses for my 5D DSLR: 16-35L Mk.II 50L 24-105L IS Will also bring along a small tripod, 430EX flash and 500D closeup lens for the 50L. Will this...

zcf, Thanks! The F11 looks similar to the Pentax Optio SVi in features and size. However, I'd prefer something a little smaller. Cheers, Sabesh.

Greetings all, this is my first post here. I stumbled across this site via a Google search and find it very informative! I'd appreciate it if you'all can help me choose a digital camera. These are what I'm looking for: Ultracompact form Manual shutter-speed setting (or shutter priority) or...
