Re: My New T3i with Canon EF-S 17-55mm F2.8 Lens Setup
A couple of questions:
What is the ring on the lens for? Also how do you deal with the lens extending? Do you adjust the matte box forward and backwards whenever the lens extends? |

The gear on the lens is for adjusting focus easier.
I pretty much use the matte box as lens hood only. it is attached to the lens so it will move along when the lens extended.

I was testing the setup with different combinations. Didn't tighten it all the way. That's why it sort of tilted down.

Re: My New T3i with Canon EF-S 17-55mm F2.8 Lens Setup
Hey what kind of matte box is that and where can I get one? Also, how much did it cost?

Re: My New T3i with Canon EF-S 17-55mm F2.8 Lens Setup
Looks good man. I need one of those dual hot-shoe adapters for my camera. Was bummed having to choose between a light or a mic on my cam the other night when I was shooting.
Also, I really want that lens, but damn is it pricey. Anyone know if the Tamron OIS is anywhere near as good as Canon's? |

80mm Matte box with French flag for DV and HDV cameras Normal camera lenses However, there is a problem with it since it is 4:3. I first use it on my Canon 70-200mm F2.8L. Now with the 17mm wide angle, it shows a dark edge on left and right. I have to trim some part of the left and right edge to get rid of the dark edge.

http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/canon-eo...ml#post1657930 another member is regreting getting the tamron because of the OIS noise. I don't like tamron because it has the different zoom ring and focus ring direction the canon. For the Canon lens, I can set to AF and still be able to adjust the focus ring. I can't do that with Tokina or Sigma.

Re: My New T3i with Canon EF-S 17-55mm F2.8 Lens Setup
Oh sweet. I'll have to pick one of those adapters up then for sure. Also I had forgotten about the backwards-ness of the Tamron's. Looks like I'll just have to keep saving for the Canon.
