I've recently bought the EOS600D and I've been wondering about the compatibility with the flip screen, the Z-Finder pro and mounting on my 701HDV head. Obviously it works really well. You've convinced me to take the plunge and buy the Z-Finder Pro.<br />Hopefully in time I'll be able to produce some videos as good as yours.<br />Thanks again.The Marshalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777924579950521153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1261725186140044848.post-19000612628427363922011-04-15T23:54:38.326-04:002011-04-15T23:54:38.326-04:00Thank you for your help kuya!Thank you for your help kuya!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07755725129896658610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1261725186140044848.post-33294040383740616732011-04-13T14:59:27.528-04:002011-04-13T14:59:27.528-04:00John,

I like my external lighting indirect on my subjects. It reduces that flash light/harsh shadows effect. If you point the flash up towards the ceiling of the room, set your camera to Av mode and crank up the ISO to 1600, your background will be properly exposed and the Stofen diffused 580ex will fill in the subject. You want to use external lighting in your pictures without it being obvious. The high ISO settings on a 60D is not that noisy if you remove the noise in RAW conversion.Chad Sorianohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04102000255999658446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1261725186140044848.post-32191100713296173112011-04-12T23:36:17.126-04:002011-04-12T23:36:17.126-04:00Hi Chad,

I only have a canon 60D and it doesn't handle high ISO's very well because of the grains it causes. What would you recommend kuya? Thanks for your time!

I personally have the version I of that lens and the edges are horribly distorted and has to be corrected in post. Of course, on a crop camera the distorted edges are minimized but still there in my photographic eye. 35mm focal length on a crop camera is a 50mm equivalent and is almost ideal for wide open (f2.8) portraits. You should be fine capturing those birthday moments. Just remember keep the shutterspeed fast enough so you can freeze the action by maintaining a high enough ISO. You will probably have to keep a 1600 to 3200 ISO for low light indoor settings.

We're having a birthday party pretty soon and I want to use this lens for the party. Is this lens good for portraits? Thank you very much for your time!
