Came by post 2 days ago, and let me tell you, it′s the handiest item in my camera bag! No longer have to screw filters on and off, or bayonet the hood, don′t need a tripod (tape the camera to a post), sticks a flash diffuser in place, keeps my hat from blowing off - just a multitude of uses. I′ll never go back to masking or duct tape again. Thanks for letting me share my excitement over my latest acquisition ... excuse me, have to go take the cat off the wall.

Being new in photography I am wondering what modes most of you shoot in............program...manual...aperature priority.......shutter priority? Or does it make a difference as to what kind of shot you are taking?
No, it makes no difference what mode others shoot in.

There's no possible way that a lens,don't care what size it is,that the plate is securely screwed to the lens an the plate securely inserted in the tripod and latched can come off .Think about what he's stating.The camera and lens would have to do from4 to 6 complete turns.In the time freame stated of no more than 30 seconds. That's one complete turn at about 5 to 8 second per turn.If it was blowing that hard the tripod would have toppled over also.
I think he'll have a hard time convincing the insurance on this story.

Of course it's impossible. At first it sounded strange, the nature of the OP's replies made it clear why no mention of damage was made - there was none! Therefore, nothing strange at all! He was careless, but loath to fess up to it!
Edit: I should think the intent of my original comment would be obvious to all! :)

If you truly believe that the rig just blew off the pod :)
No, once I read the OP's replies, I KNEW it was strange!
Edit: Actually, the way the OP replied when questioned made it pretty clear what happened.

Isn't it strange all the details on the camera damage and no details on the condition of the ball head, lens mount plate, etc- was anything bent or forced?
I thought it strange - until I read the OP's replies.
My Df is black, so I should have known you'd take me seriously! :lol: By the way, with some earlier non-multi-coated lenses, a multi-coated Skylight or UV filter (probably clear, as well), can improve contrast.

:thumbup: You'd be in a most sorry state if you could not!
[quote=frankie c]I have removed all those UV/Clear filters from my lenses. [quote]
Can you explain what a "Clear filter" filters?

Just so you know, neither of these methods includes the OP's camera which is a 5D2. The 5D3, 6D, 70D and 7D2 all will do it.
Drat! I did a Google search for "Canon 5D Mark II Multiple Exposure" and didn't notice that Mark III came up. There sure is a large market for an intelligent search engine!

Is that a serious question? There are some individuals on this forum - not so far on this thread - who can and do get considerably more insulting unfortunately. Many can be found in 'The Attic'. It is several levels down from here to 'The Attic."
"Down" to the attic?? Did your house overturn in an earthquake?

Oops, forgot to Unwatch.
I must say, there is a lot of substance to this thread. (Mustn't say what that substance is, though!)

Besides using more space on a memory card what other benefits are there when shooting Raw?
Welcome to the UHH, a community of determined, innovative folks who live by the adage, "If there's a will, there's a way." If we want to be bothered, by gum, we WILL find a way! The topic is completely immaterial, as is the way in which a question is posed. Conversely, if we wish to be helpful, by gum, we'll find a way to do that too!

I was taking pictures of the moon right outside my house with my 610 and tameron 150 -600. I had the whole rig on the moon. I took several pictures and wanted to try something a little different with shutter speeds and f stops. I had to go back in the house to get my flash light, I could have not been gone for 15 sec to a 1/2 minute. When I returned I found the camera on the floor The lens survived the fall but the camera not so well. I cannot change any settings the shutter release does not work, there is a piece on the pop up flash that broke off and all wires are exposed. In addition where the Info window is on the top of the camera there is no info and a big black smear like across it. Where the seems are in the front of the camera on the right side, they are all separated and you can see the guts of the camera. Other than that, Its in perfect condition. Thank God I bought insurance when I purchased the camera. Lets see how that turns out. Here is the strange thing. Last year on May 2nd I fell in a stream above a water fall in Yosemite and killed a D600 which was replaced by the 610. On my 2nd this year this camera met the same faith. I am no longer going to take any pictures on May 2nd anymore. Looks like it is totaled. every one says it might have been the wind concidering the size of the lens. by the way it was mounted from the lens

Good to hear the tripod didn't fall over and suffer damage.

Apologies in advance if this is a dumb question. I have a Canon T5 that as a beginner I am trying to figure out and just take pictures to try to learn. I am having trouble focusing and getting a crisp picture. I have used the viewfinder adjustment but still find what I'm seeing in the viewfinder dark and not clear. Would an eyepiece magnifier help? What does it actually do?
No knowledgeable person is going to tell you not to use autofocus, nor will a knowledgeable person tell you not to use manual focus. Both methods have their place, and since you are trying to become a better photographer you will be wise to become familiar with each.
If you do not have enough diopter adjustment to attain a clear view, a visit to your optometrist may be in order. You may need special glasses, or perhaps an additional eyepiece lens may be made. A magnifier will help only if it has enough diopter adjustment to work in conjunction with that in your viewfinder.
