What do you mean with infinity ?? you lock the focus with gaffer tape ?? Thanks again =============================== Ourson # 5 impatient de sauter # 1

Ohhhh thanks .. I'm really a newbie with camera ... so I'll stick with EF-AF lens .. Thanks a lot By the way .. setting it to manual focus at 3 feets is correct ? =============================== Ourson # 5 impatient de sauter # 1

Ok good idea ... but hoe thick should be the piece of cork ?? And where can I found it ^^ Thanks for your help ! =============================== Ourson # 5 impatient de sauter # 1

Why don't use a fd lens ? I saw that the best way is to put the lens in manual focus and set the focus at around 3 feets. Why do I need a EF lens if I don't use the autofocus ??? =============================== Ourson # 5 impatient de sauter # 1

Iwant to fix my Canon rebel 2000 on the top of my hawkeye. I don't plan on switching from 35mm to digital, so I don't think I need to use a qick release. So I figure to fix the still by the tripod screw, but how do I prevent it to move (turn) ? Do a velcro on the lens is enought ?? Thanks... And if you have pics of thaht part of your setup ... it would be appreciated .. =============================== Ourson # 5 impatient de sauter # 1

I want to mount my new Canon rebel 2000 on the top of my hawkeye. I don't plan to switch between 2 camera .. Do I really need a Squick release ?? Thanks =============================== Ourson # 5 impatient de sauter # 1

Another question ... (don't want to make another mistake) What about the rebel K2 I did'nt fins anything on the forum about that. thanks =============================== Ourson # 5 impatient de sauter # 1

I found how to modify it to add a remote shutter release. So it will work for me ... :)) =============================== Ourson # 5 impatient de sauter # 1

unfortunatly for me ... that's a Plain Rebel , not S, G or 2000. I think I made a big mistake, now I have a still wich I cannot use for skydiving .. anyone interested to buy it ?? Maybe I'll try to modify it ... =============================== Ourson # 5 impatient de sauter # 1

Do I understand than I cannot plug a switch ... ??? The only thing I can do is to sell it ??? =============================== Ourson # 5 impatient de sauter # 1

I received my Canon EOS Rebel ... I guess that's an old model (1995) and I don't find any jack to get a tongue switch ... How do I connect it ?? Do I have to get a jack soldered inside ?? If so ... any pics ?? Thanks a lot =============================== Ourson # 5 impatient de sauter # 1

is the f/3.5-5.6 IV is correct or I should take a f/1.6 or something like that ? =============================== Ourson # 5 impatient de sauter # 1
