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,...

Re: A carry case for the RODE Blimp.

Yowza!

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...

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.

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...
