Needed Varible ND Suggestions For 7d EFS 17-55mm Lens

Hi,  I'm looking for suggestions for a varible ND filter for my 7D EFS 17-55mm lens. Wanting to shoot video on the high end towards the f/2.8 range of this lens. Currently, my sweet spot without a ND is anywhere from f/14 to f/18 bright/cloudy outdoors. I normally shoot at 1920x1080 at 24fps with my shutter speed at 1/50. As you know, the higher the aperture the brighter things get. At f/2.8 I'm totally washed out. I have a B+W UV XS-Pro filter that currently lives on the lens https://www.schneideroptics.com/Ecommerce/CatalogItemDetail.aspx?CID=1554&IID=8160
I see Light Craft Workshop has come out with a Rapid Variable ND lately that looks interesting. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=1015993&Q=&is=REG&A=details
If you have any suggestions that would give me great results, I would sincerely appreciate it. Thanks, Ray

Personally I'd get a standard ND filter instead of a variable.  Looks like 5 stop is what you need.  I know B+W makes a 6 stop, you might be able to get that to work.
Perhaps variable NDs work well with video.  When I looked into getting one for stills it seemed to me it just wasn't worth it if you're picky about your quality.  Anything less than the SR was of dubious quality and even the SR had problems with the X banding at higher opacities.  With stills you usually have some wiggle room over settings so having a 3 stop and a 6 stop, and stacked for 9 stop, was enough for my needs.

  • Will my EFS 18-55mm lens work on a T3i?

    I have a DS6041 camera with an EFS 18-55mm. I want to upgrade to the T3i and found a good deal on Amazon for the body only. Can I use this lens with the T3i or do I have to get a new one? I can't seem to find any info online when I search. I'm assuming yes, but I'd like to know before I order.
    Solved!

    YES. That camera uses EF-S & EF mount lenses.

  • Need EXPERT's suggestion for APEX CHART SERIES

    Hello Everyone,
    I have been trying to solve an issue with my apex line chart. The scenario is as follows:
    I have a table called revenue. revenues per year are saved in it. and revenues are generated from three sources which are also saved in the same table.
    I have made a line chart on it. works well.
    Now I have to show that if the value of one of the sources had fallen, how must have it affected the total. I made a number field that takes an estimated change value, and build my sql query with it. it works but the problem is that it changes the non-affected source too. it must change the value of the affected source only and hence the total value.
    I hope I make sense and anybody can suggest something.
    bold or I will put it this way, how can I write a select statement for a chart series so that one of the rows value does not change and the other two change. ... ?

    Samooray,
    Let's work with this question since there is more detail here than in the other one. {thread:id=2543702}
    First it's always help to know:
    Full APEX version
    Full DB/version/edition/host OS
    Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener/host OS)
    Browser(s) and version(s) used
    And sometimes this information as well.
    Theme
    Template(s)
    Region/item type(s)
    When a question goes unanswered for a while, there is no need to reply to it or to start a new question. You can edit the original question and just add "Bump" at the bottom and save the changes. This will bump it back to the top of the question list. And by that time, you might think of additional information you can add to the question.
    Say, why would a question go unanswered? Well, easy questions and frequently asked questions with well-known answers can be answered right away. Your question seems more complicated and I don't think we have all the information we need to understand exactly what the question is.
    You are doing a "series" chart. What kind of series chart: bar, column, line? What is each series? For example, components of revenue might be 1) sales, 2) licensing revenue and 3) other. Then you might have one series for sales, a second for licensing revenue and a third for other.
    Could you mock up a trivial example on apex.oracle.com http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=4700:1:0::::: ?

    Dear all,

    So, here is my question, shall I study for an ABAP certification and begin to look for an ABAP job? or, based on my background, I should try to get a Netweaver Java Certification and try to move to portal development or SAP XI?

    hi mike,
    Its good u have such a good experience in webmethods and oracle/pl-sql and also java. i feel abap would be much better option to move on to.
    ABAP is sap custom language, and it would always be preferred more over everthing else, and apart from that certified abapers are still very few, while compare that with java, which is at peak in the job market,and flodded with java proffesionals.
    And as u have previous experience getting through abap certification wont be tough.Happy abap programing.......!!!!
    Best of luck

    Canon usually puts the filter size on the ring on the front element or somewhere along the side.  It'll use the diameter symbol  ⌀.  That lens is 58mm.   Though I usually find Google to be fastest for such questions:

    Hmm, if you are not using Oracle Payroll, what are you using for payroll? I am wondering why you could not use your payroll system, whatever it is, to handle this reimbursement program.
    Well, you may want to talk to Oracle support about how to handle this in Oracle iExpense. You can certainly handle advances for Expense Reports. You would then apply the advance to the expense report items. The catch is I don't think you can stop expense item entry after the adavance is satisfied. You would have to set up a work flow process of some kind to have the expense reports reviewed and only approve expenses that are applied to the advance, is what I am thinking. Not your ideal solution, but something to think about. It could be the Oracle folks might know of a sneaky way to handle this. What you are trying to do is unusual. Employee advances are common, but the idea of not being able to exceed the advance amount is what unusual about this. Normally you will accept any expenses over the advance amount and reimburse the employee for those extra amounts not advanced.
    Good luck.

  • Suggestion for a needed Walkman app improvement

    Dear Sirs,
    Although I’ll sadly have to part from my Sony Z1 (for other issues reported on this forum and to Sony Xperia Care, namely the touchscreen issue), I would still like to leave a suggestion for the most underachieving app (imho) from a Sony Smartphone.
    With the long tradition on audio excellence and the Walkman brand, I would suspect that it would be a strong point on a Sony Smartphone. Strangely enough, the Walkman app made me buy a third party app (PowerAmp) to get some basic functionality like I had on my old iPhone 3GS.
    One of the most serious faults of the Walkman app is the lack of volume normalization between audio tracks. Although Sony does provide a workaround (which is nothing more than a dynamic range compressor), it doesn’t make any sense (imho) with today’s technology.
    Replaygain (for instance) is a free (but very effective) way of normalizing volumes without degrading the sound quality. Many apps like PowerAmp have it, and even iTunes has a proprietary version of it built in on every device for many years now.
    As I said before, this can be done with third-party apps and third-party media management software (like JRiver or the free Foobar), but by doing so, the user loses the integration provided by a unique manufacturer (Sony Media Go -> Sony Walkman).
    I’m really just trying to help, as it gets harder to understand why Sony lacks on such elementary things audio-wise, when the same company has Walkmans supporting the highest definition audio formats available today.
    I tend to relate Sony with high quality digital audio products, so it seems strange that this particular app is so rudimentary on these levels. The Walkman app is eye-candy, but it should also be “hear-candy”, which it isn’t.

    You need to pass this on to the Sony delvelopers site as this is a user support forum

  • Need suggestion for a effective web application

    Hi all,
    I need ur valuable suggestions as how to create a web application effectively. So far I have been doing design,business logic and database operation in JSP itself. I dont want to continue with this. As a beginner i dont want to jump into struts directly without working in java beans and servlets.
    When should i use beans and when should i use java classes and when should i use servlets?
    Say for eg: I have a JSP page where i get the Employee details like
    Employee Name:
    Employee ID:
    Department: (Drop Down)
    Designation: (Drop Down)
    Address:
    Salary:
    At present i have created a jsp page EmployeeDetails.jsp where i have created text box to get input for emp name,id,address and salary.
    written db query to fetch existing departments and designations from DB and i have populated it in drop down. Once the user submits the page then the insertion part into DB is done in another jsp, SaveEmpDetails.jsp.
    Instead of doing everything in JSP how should i use bean or servlets.
    Here where should i use bean and where should i use servlets and java classes?
    It would be really helpful if someone help me to move one step forward and create effective web application.
    any tutorial or link which gives sample application design would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Thanuja.

    ok i checked the links and also few post in this forum.
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5189695
    eg given in the above thread uses jsp,bean and servlet.
    I have a doubt. why to use bean in that eg. cant we directly get the value in jsp and pass it to servlet and make db insertion there?
    for the employee details scenario should i use bean? or directly pass the parameters to servlet and vise versa.
    Thanuja.

    hi vikrant,
    You can a Cube at the reporting layer  which gets data from DSO and which has these 2 extra characteristics completion date and previous cycle along with other chars and keyfigures from DSO.
    You can populate these  based on your logic in the field routine.
    Hope it helps.
