Ian, I came across a list of lenses that cannot be used on the F100 on its manual and the list includes.........
PC 28mm f/4 (No. 180900 or smaller)
PC 35mm f/2.8 (No. 851001 - 906200)
I assume that those numbers in bracket are serial numbers and I would be fine as long as mine doesn't fall into that series?
Yeah, I was told to do the metering before any T&S action on the Canon. Could you explain what you mean by stop down metering? Stopping down the aperture and work from there? Thanks for the clarification. How's the weather in Perth?
You assume right on the numbers Kit, they are the serial numbers and what it means is that the 28/4 cannot be used at all, while AI and AIS versions of the 28/2.8 can be used.
With a T&S lens metering is done by the following method.
1) Point the lens up at the object and focus with the lens wide open
2) Select desiered aperture and stop lens down
3) Meter scene with lens stopped down according to the camera manual for stop down metering.
4) Level camera on a tripod with a bubble level in the desired format (horiz/vertical)
5) Rotate the lens until the shift is opposite the direction of convergance.
6) Read off the maximum amount of shift allowed for the lens position.
7) Adjust shift to remove convergance and if possible do not shift more than the maximum from step 6
8) Take shot.
Simple huh
The weather here is clear and quite warm days but cold at night, how about over east?
