Congress throws out all laws not related to Federal issues as Constitutional Law dictates!

I would rather Congress do nothing. Every time they do it costs the taxpayers more money. :shock:

I'm totally with you !!
We already have more laws than congress can keep track of as it is. They need to resolve at throwing them all out and start over. And, if they stick with the Constitution, will keep things short and simple.

Canon 5D mk3 USB port

If it is still under warranty, send it to Canon.
If not, I recommend here http://www.precisioncamera.com.

Your gear is too expensive to recommend anyone who is not Canon certified.

I agree, let's start by taking away the drivers licenses from the millions of unsafe drivers.

Do they all have licenses ??

Awsome! Five Jumbo Jets Flying in Formation

Very cool !!
I'm curious, if it wasn't done in the US, how many countries did they traverse during their mission ??

And save me your standard issue talking points about our "rights". Lets have a conversation about our responsibilities.

Rights and responsibilities belong in the same thought process.
You shouldn't have rights if you aren't responsible enough to handle them.

One of the very, very, attractive reasons for owning this lens is going to 600mm f5.6 .......RARELY do I take the 2X off of mine - only when I need F4 (1.4X) or 2.8 apertures .....using mine with a dedicated 50D.

I appreciate your input and will consider it.
Since I got the 5D I haven't used my 50D though I keep it nearby with a 70-200 2.8.

Canon lenses

On my wife's T5i, the EF 24-105 is superior over the EF-S 18-55 which I traded toward a 5D MK III. I have no use for the EF-S lenses as long as I have the EF L lenses. They won't work on a FF body anyway.

Very nice, do you have the 1.4 TC for that lens? I shoot the same lens with both the 1.4 and 2x TC'S with very little loss with even the 2X.

Thank you

I have a 2x which I use very little. I just got the 5D and still learning what it has over the 50D.

Now I have to figure out why Aperture strips the exif from png files.
