dont even do it for a photo dude..

What about when switching lenses? its all the same, you've got to put the camera down at one point or another exposed, picking up another lens etc.

Theres being a good owner, and then there is being OTT.

Really, if you want to be as careful as possible to take as much care as possible, when changing lenses, face the camera down (lens pointing to the floor, remove the lens and just have all caps ready to place (or lens ready to put on there).

Cleaning the back of a lens is a lot easier than cleaning a sensor.

I Always do this.

Remove Lens cap on Lens.
Remove Lens from Camera, and attach new lens
Put Lens Cap on removed Lens

Hope thats right, so the Sensor is exposed for max 5 secs, if that.

Yeah, that's about as quick as it can be! Dust is going to happen, not denying that! It's just keeping it out for as long as possible that's the tricky part!

Can't wait till July to buy the wife a new notebook!

Thanks. Here are a couple I just recently scanned in that were shot with the AII.

The Toyo AII Field Camera is one of the best designed camera's I have ever had the privilege of using and is the best field camera on the market imo. I have two of them, unfortunately one of them is getting repaired right now. I was photographing on an incline and a huge gust of wind came and just tipped the whole thing over. Smashed my front standard to pieces and cracked a 1600.00 lens. Fortunately I have insurance so it only cost me 150.00.

Does anyone have or have used the Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L lens? I'm thinking about buying it for a walk around on my 50D.

I used to own one until I upgraded to the 16-35 f/2.8L II USM. The 17-40s are lovely lenses, probably one of the best wides Canon produce. Their only limitation is the f/4 aperture, which you may find a little limiting - but it's consistent throughout the whole zoom range.

My only comment would be that on a 1.6x crop body 17mm is no longer *that* wide. I've got a 10-22 for my 1.6x bodies, and use the 16-35 on full frame/aps-h.

With kit like that, you'd be stupid not to get insurance.
Nice pictures, I especially like the second one. Where was it taken?
And do you happen to use flickr?

I have the Canon 10-22 as a wide angle. I'm going to be using the 17-40mm as a walk around since it would be an equiv of 27-64mm. Still looking around for a semi-used one.
