What camera? AI Focus takes a while to switch to servo mode, in my experience it's usually too late by the time it does switch.

450D, was shooting on the day with shutter speeds of between 1/1000 and 1/4000, f/4.0 ISO 200 to ISO 800, the sun was dancing between clouds, being a bit annoying.

Yeah - I think you'll find AI Focus is going to take a while to switch to servo mode. Best to change ti to servo if you know you're going to be shooting something moving.

Yeah, I just rememebred something :p, I was noticing that! I swapped to manual focus as the rope is the same length constantly, it was working much better :) I think that second shot was taken after I swapped to manual focus, but I Can't be sure about that. I was starting to have a tough time about 15 mins after that shot, water got a bit choppy and at 250 zoom I felt like a grandma, couldn't keep the boarder in the frame :p

At 250mm at f/4 you've got quite a thin DoF, I think MF would have definitely been a fair bit more difficult (unless you had it locked on right).

Photos are pretty average, but i fucking love the DOF at f/2 with the 135L.

Im in Love.

*disregard the blown highlights, Im too lazy to bother.

Does anyone know if anyone makes an aftermarket LCD for say, a 5d or 1ds Mark II? A little lcd that you can plug in to eliminate the need to use the shit screens on them.

Not that I know of but you can shoot tethered to a PC or laptop... so in theory it would be possible.

Yeah. I don't really want to carry a laptop around with me when i'm shooting, though. :p

Just after using my friends 5d today, the colours on the LCD screen just look shit, there where so many photos i just wasn't stoked on and i was getting frustrated because i couldn't get the colours right, however, i then put that card in my 40d and they where like completely different photos.

Yes the 40D LCD is significantly better in colours than the 5D and 30D (which I think used the same LCD) - the colours are lot more vibrant and sharp on the LCD.

However, the resolution of the 40D screen is utter shit - increased screen size over the 30D but without increase in resolution? What a joke.

I have seen ones being used with 5D mark II's and 7D's in video rigs.. they are about 20cm though, so quite large. Just plugs into the HDMI port I think.
So there is probably something you could use out there.. might have too look around because there probably won't be anything specific to cameras/photography.

They didn't upgrade the resolution until the 5D Mark II. And what a beautiful LCD that is. ;)
