Do all EOS lenses past and present work with the T3i or any Canon EOS dslr?
[Off-topic] boborone:
Mount right up if they have an EOS mount. Need an adapter if they have an FD mount.

(that's afik, jaszek might correct me)
[Off-topic] Thats OK:
thanks.button bobo!

I was Googling fer an answer...but there was no simple yes or no answer.
[Off-topic] jaszek:
All EF and EF-S lenses (EOS MOUNT) fit on the T3i. EF-S lenses arent meant for full frame cameras. The S stands for short distance or some **** like that, and it has to do with the rear glass element being closer to the sensor, and since Full Frame cameras have bigger mirrors, the mirrors would hit that element, but you don't have that problem with crop cameras.

And lens caps? I have a few. Once you learn how much abuse your gear can take you will rarely use those. I need to find all of mine. lol

And canon AE-1 vs A-1? Is the only difference the A-1 has an old type of P mode where the camera can decide the f-stop? If so, how does it change it, do you need special lenses for that? Or does it just tell you what it thinks will be best and it's up to you manually change the f-stop?

I think the A-1 shoots in pretty much auto. You set the ISO and the camera sets the f/stop and shutter speed when in P mode.

[Off-topic] Thats OK:

[Off-topic] boborone:
I do miss my Nikon, though. It's what got me going. I first shot with my dad's Minolta, and then he got me a Nikon so I'd leave his camera alone.

Just read about this camera and it has A, P and M mode. On a freaking 35mm SLR. I had no clue they even had that stuff back then. Man, I shot everything by the seat of my pants and compensated in the dark room. Wow, just reading has blown my mind tonight. That is some crap, the whole time I was shooting for school I could have had some help from the camera. And I thought it was nuts that the A-1 had a P mode. But those guys want some money for those bodies.

I'd like another SLR, but man, to drop that on one, those dam hipsters and their driving the prices up of good cameras. Don't have that kind of money to blow on one now. Maybe in a couple months.
[Off-topic] Thats OK:
Offer the poopster in Mesquite 50 smacks for that A1.

Just say you're a poor bastard photog stud that needs it for a class or sumpthin...and you've wanted an A1 since yer dad let you hold his back in the 80's.

If he's an oldtimer dumbshi.t like me he'll probably just give it to you.

edit:

Re-read the ad

Screw those lenses they're junk @4.0 to whatever...50 for the body in pristine shape is worth it.

Just buy a 50mm 1.2 when the money is good.

* note

Does my heart good to know my A1 went to the right place.

Worth more than any $$ I could have gotten for it.

The A1 is probably one of the best IMO...
[Off-topic] jaszek:

[Off-topic] dexter93:
Re: &gt;&gt;Off-Topic Photo Thread&lt;&lt; *POTM Challenge*CONGRATS JASZEK...AGAIN

The FG is an awesome body. Although, you've got 2 things to consider:

1. Canon FD glass is way cheaper

2. All Nikon F mount lenses (including lenses made today) will work on the FG (with the exception of the G and AF-S lenses, which lack aperture ring). No adapters needed - BIG variety of good glass, but prices can't match the FD

If you had gotten a nikon dslr instead of the t3i, you wouldn't need to choose :p
[Off-topic] boborone:
Re: &gt;&gt;Off-Topic Photo Thread&lt;&lt; *POTM Challenge*CONGRATS JASZEK...AGAIN

Dude I just looked up the FG on wiki and man :eek: the craziness with Nikon lenses is astounding. Model this, focus that, aperture ring manual/auto, ect. Call me old, but why so much fragmented innovation? Some stuff works with this but doesn't work with that.

Nikon is right up there underneath Canon baby...j\king of course...

Canon did however make the right jump when they went to EOS...at least from what I read.

My understanding is Canon was looking to the future knowing that digital sensor cameras were inevitable.

Nikon and Canon two different houses with mutual respect to each others innovations.

Re: &gt;&gt;Off-Topic Photo Thread&lt;&lt; *POTM Challenge*CONGRATS JASZEK...AGAIN

That's why I hate the argument people have that all old nikkor lenses work with all Nikon cameras. Canon is actually better in this department. Even with simple adapters, nikkor glass works on canon
[Off-topic] undercover:
Re: &gt;&gt;Off-Topic Photo Thread&lt;&lt; *POTM Challenge*CONGRATS JASZEK...AGAIN

Nikon ftw

Die Canon!

On a serious note, they ate both about the same, the only difference is how one feels about the body. Canon seems to have miniscule advantage when it comes to clarity, Nikon when it comes to low iso. Canon has advantage when it comes to lens mounts, but as more time passes they slowly equalise as people get newer lenses. All in all they are worthy adversaries, but I'm in Nikon camp myself.

[Off-topic] dexter93:
Re: &gt;&gt;Off-Topic Photo Thread&lt;&lt; *POTM Challenge*CONGRATS JASZEK...AGAIN

It is quite simple when you get the hang of it. Here:

Mount: F

AF types: Af (old), AF-D( D= distance info chip on lens for matrix metering) , Af-S ( like AF-D but with internal Silent Wave Motor)

Focusing motor: in camera body driven by a screw, with the exception of the AF-S, which have it on the lens

Aperture: 1. Old type ring. Lens with CPU chip can control it through the body too and 2. "G" no aperture ring. Controlled via camera body through the CPU chip

other types:

On crop: they're called "DX" . The difference with the full frame ones is that they have a smaller circle of coverage. In contrast to Canon's equivalent, they CAN be mounted on Full Frame bodies with some vignetting

I'm not a fanboy in any way, but I have to admit that I like shooting my lenses to any of the three bodies I have without using any adapters. I use a FG-20, a F65 and a D7000. I can even use my AF lenses on the ancient FG-20! (no AF functionality obviously)

Can't do that with Canon... And I'm in no way interested into keeping 2 sets of lenses with different mounts like jas does.. Even if some are cheap.

Usually just import into Lightroom, and go through them quickly, and if something pops up I stop, and take a closer look then edit.

Lately I've been using the "RATE" button on my 5D3, so when I go shoot somewhere, on my way back I go through the photos on the camera that look good enough to bother editing, rate them one star, then import to lightroom, and then filter by rating.

Man, I am really disappointed. I climb a tree to jump over the railing and go 15 stories up a fire escape on a parking garage and none of the pics I took came out to be anything. I got a few good ones of the Chase Bank Tower I need to stitch together to make one tall pic of it. But it really sucked up there anyways. Not much of a view of anything really.

I got this half decent shot of nothing with no subject, only cool cause it's high up. Real tight buildings up there on one side and empty flat urban expanse on the other. This one is zoomed between a couple of the buildings.

Well when I started to setup my shots good I started hearing tires getting closer and closer. I could tell they were coming up the ramp to the top where I was. Going way too fast to be someone just parking their car. Went down the stairs real fast and met two security cars on the street. One of the guys got out and stood there, the other guy began speaking into the radio. I'm guessing because I was on the road they couldn't get me for tresspassing. I didn't press the issue and take pics of them like I wanted. I just walked away calmly.

But I got two good bum pics.

Dallas seems to have gotten rid of alot of them. I'm going to have to go to Fort Worth where you can't walk down the sidewalk because there are so many of them sleeping to take some good shots. Especially now that the West End is dead in Dallas, there's not much going on in the way of street people. The West End train station has lots of crack heads, but I don't like shooting them or even trying to talk to them. That guy I got a shot of was sitting around the corner from a 7-11 I went to to get some energy drinks. Came out and asked him if he smoked. Gave him two ciggs and a lighter. And asked if I could take his pic. All the crack heads do is ask for your train ticket and change while spraying beer foam from their last chug on you as you pass. I don't like them. I have no problem with bums. They just homeless. Crackheads are the ones you have to worry about. Bums are cool.

Haha you know the garage caddie corner to it? That's where that was taken. And yes, I jelly. Next week, if my foreman lets me, I'm taking some pics on top of the old busted run down buildings in Paris. He saw me scale half way up one of em and told me to get down. These buildings are trashed. Burned and gutted, standing piles of rubble. The town is in shambles and nobody is fixing it. I really want to go in one of em. I busted a couple doors down in the alleys. REALLY creepy stuff man. Like not even bums and hobos in there. Stuff just left to wrought for years. One alley has all the first floor windows busted from the inside out with tables with their legs piercing through wire mesh glass. Not boarded up, just piled up to keep the outside out. Looks amazing and violent. Gives you the creeps just knowing they didn't care about these hundred year old buildings enough to properly seal them, just smash furniture into the crevices of which one could enter. Makes you wonder about the upper floors. Dude it is absolutely astonishing what that town is like. It's as if they stopped advancing 40 years ago, and just let the place run down around them. They do cremations a block off the square from the main courthouse. Things like that. It's wild.

Going past all the NO TRESPASSING signs on the AMTRAK rail lines leads you to some cool places.

Not sure if abandoned or condemed. This is the oldest bridge in Dallas. Has a perfectly good parking garage attached to it. But there are holes in the bridge and it's falling apart all over the place. If you zoom in and look on the right side of road, you see one of the hobos walking away from me. There are quite a few of them living in the garage on the lower levels.

IMG_1827 by boborone, on Flickr

One of the ways on to, or in my case, off of, the bridge, is this unguarded stairwell leading to the under bridge below. I heard a bunch of crack heads down there yelling like apes and I was going to check it out.

IMG_1841 by boborone, on Flickr

Then suddenly I heard lots and lots of bottles being smashed, and this little guy came running up the stairs and jumped in the tree in front of me. He seemed quite scared. And my curiosity changed from intrigue to leery. I followed him to the surface.
