From : alex (alexleong8@yahoo.co.uk) Hi people, I have a canon 70-200mm f2.8 IS lens. I am thinking about adding a canon 1.4x teleconvertor. Anybody use this combination? What are the results like? Thanks for any comments. Ax

Using a 1.4x or 2x teleconverter on Canon's EF 70-200 f2.8L with image stabiliser feature is an unorthodox set up but is worth a try. It is speculative as to whether you will lose or retain the IS function, or whether the converter would introduce errors; no colleagues I know use this setup. Note that a 1.4x teleconverter will result in the loss of 1 stop from the effective lens speed. –grh.

*** From : Kurt Thompson Regarding the use of third party lenses on the 1n via adaptor. That is, not Sigma, Tokina, Tamron, but m42 lenses, Contax, Leica. Does spot or partial metering work? I've heard that spot metering may be off when using third party lenses via an adaptor. Does anyone have experience with this?
***

The 1N's 2 spot meters are exceptionally precise and calibrated for use on all of the lenses (past and present) available in the EOS line-up. Now, the use of lenses not designed for the EOS system will of course introduce errors, particularly as one spot meter of the 1N defaults to the central image area while the other is switchable to any of the 5 focusing points by custom function. The reason for the errors is more in the design of the non-EOS lens and the loss of information pathways to the camera; an adaptor is no insurance against the metering and in-focus confirmation that would certainly occur from using a non-EOS lens. —grh.

If this message comes up twice, its because there was a problem with my computer. I was just given a Canon Rebel G, and I know nothing about this type of camera (when it was made,how good a camera it is comparitavely). If anyone knows or has one themselves, please enlighten me. I use an AE1-P myself, and love the results, so I'm curious to see how this one messures up. Thanks...Craig.

Dear Folks, I was just given a Canon Rebel G camera, and I don't know how old it is. There was no manual with it, so is there a way I can tell? It looks like its relitively good, but I don't know anything about EOS cameras and this one in particular. I'm anxious to try it out.
Is this model good, mid range, so so? Thanks so much. Craig.

Thanks for the super information on the 550EZ, the information provied is most valueble. I read about the compatibility issue section so, I would assume the flash earlier is not that well compatible with the d-SLRs. Am I correct that the EX series are assumed to be all compatible ? Thanks - THIS IS A FANTASTIC WEBSITE !!! More power to Canon!

NICE website ! The EOS-1N site could be more informative than any. In relation to the EF lenses info, I never knew there was an EF 50/200 L lens existed ! Good info ! JR.
