at a seminar sponsored by Canon this week.
Hello All,
The speaker was well known photographer and instructor.
As I was a guest at this free seminar it would not be proper to identify him, nor quote him directly.
The topic being discussed was Autofocus speed and accuracy in varying and low light conditions.
The speaker suggested the best way to achieve Autofocus with the Pro Canon DSLR's and the 20D was to use the centeral focusing point and only using constant aperture lenses no smaller than 2.8. He went on to state the 3 lenes one would need would be the 16-35L, 28-70L and the 70 - 200L.
He is a very honest and reputable seminar speaker in my opinion.
I sat quite smug knowing he just recommended about $4,800 in glass, and that I have a wider aperture Zeiss lens from 28-200 in my bag fixed to my Sony F-828, including Hologram autofocus.
Now I have reassurance that it will be worth waiting for the 'F-939' instead of going for the D20 or XT. (I do own and not use a D30 & D60 since I bought my F-828 in December 2004)
I thought this might be worth sharing with you.
Regards, Nicholas
