Re: My lens has a spot on it, is there anything I can do?

Yes, that's probably true for his particular camcorder. It's not true of *all* camcorders, though.



In your case, probably not.



Not really. If you usually get someone else to shoot them,...

Re: My lens has a spot on it, is there anything I can do?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with *not* changing focal length during a shot.




It depends entirely on the make and model of the camcorder. Some of them actually are capable of performing...

Re: My lens has a spot on it, is there anything I can do?

The primary appeal of *full-frame* DSLRs (such as the Canon 5D Mk. II which started this whole thing back in Oct. 2008), is the ability to achieve very shallow depth-of-field, which narrative...

Re: My lens has a spot on it, is there anything I can do?

If this is the Canon EF 75-300 that you've mentioned before, then I am afraid to say it but the cost to repair will most likely exceed its value.

That lens is worth about $200. In my experience,...

Yowza!

It's a shame that the videos from Joel Ailes above seem to be long gone.

Re: What camera lens should I get for this project of shooting animals close up?

My pleasure, David. You will not be disappointed with the EF-S 18-135 IS nano + Power Zoom Adapter.

My fear is that Canon just did a one-off with the PZA interface, and we may never see it again...

Re: What camera lens should I get for this project of shooting animals close up?

It's not a good idea. Don't do it.

I have three resources that you might want to look through for some ideas and guidance.

The first is a Vimeo channel for DV Info Net's wildlife filmmaking...

Re: What camera lens should I get for this project of shooting animals close up?

Sorry, but "perhaps" is not a good enough reason to break an established pattern.

Your client doesn't seem to think that 16:9 is broken. Therefore, you should not try to fix it.

If you do,...

Re: What camera lens should I get for this project of shooting animals close up?

Your lens cannot be used with an extender, sorry.

The Rebel is giving you a 1.6x crop, which is like having a 1.6x extender built right in.

Seth mentioned the EF 100-400mm telephoto zoom. That...

Re: What camera lens should I get for this project of shooting animals close up?

There are several different Canon 300mm lenses.

Which one do you have, specifically?

I ask because you might have the option of using a Canon 1.4x extender.

Also, which Canon camera body...
