WHO NEEDS "IS" WITH THE 20D ?
Here's a full-sized image that I took yesterday with my 20D.
http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/72738967/original Who needs IS when you can just crank up the ISO, roll the car window halfway down and use it as your tripod? You know, as much as I shoot out the car window I really do need one of those beanbag thingies. |

But if you did have IS you could have shoot at ISO 800 or even 400 and had an even cleaner photo. Scott |

You know, as much as I shoot out the car window I really do need one of those beanbag thingies. That IS a great shot. Handheld at such a high ISO with no IS, even more impressive. The car window comes in handy, as I've found out many times. Without a solid support, I'm not as steady with the big glass and would really appreciate the IS. I tend to agree with Scott W. Helen |

You know, as much as I shoot out the car window I really do need one of those beanbag thingies. I'm a Nikon lover and there's no way this shot is gonna make me change brands, but I have to admit that I'm a bit jealous now (I shoot at iso 1600 99% of the time and even when shooting raw and after a noiseninja intervention my images aren't this clean)! But hey, you have to live with the funny control layout ;-) (just joking here, please don't take it serious). Regards, Jan ps.: But hey, there's nothing like a little noise to make a good image a stunning one: http://jankeirse.free.fr/dsc_8156_std.jpg Try that without noise ;-) -- Jan Keirse - +32 (0)485/089.786 http://jankeirse.free.fr |

Back in the early-mid 80's, I always used very high ISO film to get this grainy effect for special reasons. Well done! Helen |

Helen Thanks Helen, I still shoot high iso BW film (tri-x 400 and tmax 3200) these days for the grain and for Ilford Multigrade IV FB Fiber (although I prefer digital for most of my work because of the tremendous time it saves me (Labs here suck so I have to do all processing and printing myself)). Kind reagrds, Jan -- Jan Keirse - +32 (0)485/089.786 http://jankeirse.free.fr I've used Kodak P3200 for years and found it a very versatile film. I agree with you about digital though. Is it hard finding some favorite films out in Belgium? Such as Fuji Velvia 50. |

Such as Fuji Velvia 50. I haven't shot color film for years, I've never shot slide film. Most reasonably normal films are available in every self respecting photo shop around. I haven't come across a single photo-shop that didn't have tri-x or p3200. I think they also have Velvia, if not on stock they would certainly be happy to order it. Ilford paper was a bit hard to get or two ago when they were sold, but that's solved now. Prices of both film and paper have increased with at least 20% in the last 3 years. But I guess that's what we have to pay in exchange for the cheaper cameras (DSLR's are getting cheaper everyday, prices for film SLR's are so low you can buy 10 for the price of 1 a couple of years ago).
