I am about to experiemnt with AFMA on my 24-70mm L f/2.8. I read from the manual that I need to adjust the wide end as well as the telescopic end separately. Can anyone who has made similar adjustments please advise at what distance should this be ca...

I plan to purchase a higher capacity card for my Canon 5D (not mark II or III) and I do understand it is not UDMA capable so a card speed of 133x will suffice. I would like to know whether the firmware will support a 32GB card or else I will settle f...

Just collected my new 5D3 less than a week ago and I am very pleased with the camera so far. I do have a unpleasant surprise though. While trying to import RAW files to LR3 I have this response: " The files are from a camera which is not recognised b...
