Jump to postThe aspect ratio is out. 1600 is the maximum upload size, not the required one. If you choose to upload at 1600px, not only does the quality have to be very good as it shows up more imperfection, but the aspect ratio should also reflect it. So a valid reciprocal of 1600px would be 1066px if it was a...
Jump to postLovely shots Matt. I see the same dust spot in about the same place on all of them. On the NCA 747, go upwards from the exhaust on the number 2 engine and you'll hit it. It's in roughly the same place on them all.

I too used to use it with a 300D and now a 10D and never had a problem - one of the best lenses I've ever used. I use the 1.4x extender on most of my aviation photography telephoto shots and again, never a problem or noticeable loss of quality.
