I did a wedding shoot with another photographer today. I used the
company's standard fare Canon A2 getup. In clarification to what I wrote
about a while back, the EOS body aggrivates my carpel-tunnel. I figured it
out today: The EOS body is thicker which makes my hand grip around a
larger area. The Nikon and my OM w/winder has a much smaller grip. My
wife suggested that I start wearing a wrap on my wrist whenever I need to
use the EOS camera. Good idea, I think.
A couple quick thoughts: The 28-105 EOS zoom has got to be one of the most
awkward lenses to try and use. Nothing feels right about it and I was
constantly fighting the zoom/focus rings. Second problem was the flash. I
had a bugger of a time trying to get the camera to give me consistant
flash/ambient exposures. Seems that when you put it in Av vs P that a
whole bunch of electronic brains go out to lunch. Thirdly, I felt that the
autofocus in the IS-3 is more accurate and faster! Huh? Yup, I think it's
because the center focus zone is larger. Go figure.
Give me an OM anyday!
