Are you using a lense hood? And is it the right hood for that lens?

I tried with and without a hood designed for that particular lens. Its the flash, because without the flash it doesn't show a shadow on the image. Thanks.

Are you using a lens hood? if so, take it off when using flash. I have this problem with my camera when in wide angle mode. Removing the lens hood solves the problem.

I tried it with a hood designed for that lens and without a hood, its the flash that is the issue. Thank you for your help.

Shadow from the lens when using a wide angle.
Use an external flash and the shadow will go away.

Thank you. I guess the answer use an external flash or don't try to use flash under 14mm.

I have a Canon 7D, I recently bought a Canon 10-18mm IS Lens. When I set the lens to either 10mm or 12mm and take a picture with a flash there is a dark place at the bottom of the picture. See example. The dark place goes away at 14mm - 18mm. Is this a normal condition?

Mike, Manfrotto is currently running a great rebate offer until the 31st. I bought a smaller one for $90. The rebate is $30. I got it at a local camera store.

Thanks.

I need a bigger backpack, which one?

Are there any bags that are modestly priced? Anyone selling one?[/quote]

I've done a lot of research and I have found the following backpack from B & H Photo in NYC to fit my need at a very modest price. Take a look

I get my tires at Costco, I don't think you can beat them.

For those in the DC area, check out Embassy Camera on 1735 Connecticut Ave, NW.Washington, DC 20009 (202) 483-7448. They also have a shop in Burke, VA

Their prices are on a par with the internet places and they have a price matching service. Good people who know their business.

Have had extensive dealings with the store in Burke, VA. Excellent, knowledgeable folks. Highly recommend.
