Al, on the Nikons, they usually take the regular 52mm (on the newer versions) Not so sure about Canon lenses

Edit to add TOPP

I found the Hoya filters to be good for the drop in because they're relatively low profile.

Not sure if I posted this one from Abbotsford or not.

Bought a (second hand) Canon 24-105 L IS lens last weekend.

Here are some results, made in my home studio of my dog Cloony.
He was willing to pose (for some cookie's!)

Love the lens, what a beast!

Interesting how the later the shot the ambient airport lights "warm" the image. I call this one: Santa buzzes the tower. I'm guessing their communications sounded something like this…

Santa: "Tower this is Sleigh Rider requesting a flyby".
Tower: "Negative Sleigh Rider, the pattern is full".
Rudolph: "No, Santa, this is not a good idea".
Santa: "Sorry, Rudolph, but it's time to buzz the tower".

Nice shots Roel, and yes that 24-105 is a great one, got mine second hand as well, no issues at all.

Grov,

Where do you get the drop in ND4 filters

Al,

Well it's a cold, wet evening here on Canada's we(s)t coast, time to browse through the old folders to find something to work on ....

From April 2010, the Conair Firecat is a highly modified Grumman Tracker. These aircraft served well as air tankers for a good many years after their military service, the last of the fleet was retired this past summer.

Al,
I believe the drop in Gelatin filter is there as a placeholder for the other drop-in filters you can use with these lenses. I'm not sure if it adds anything to the image quality produced by the lenses, but without something in that slot, you'd have a lot more dust on your sensor...

Harry - Not sure what roof top access you were after, but we were shooting from the top of the Terminal 4 parking garage. I'm not aware of anyone being questioned or hassled for shooting from this location. While I was not there myself, several of my AZ comrades photographed Air Force 1 from the top of the same location. They enjoyed chatting with law enforcement while waiting for POTUS to depart - again, no problem.

If I've been scarce lately it's because of the Christmas singing season. We just finished up the season at my house (Marcia's a singer, too) with three performances to great audiences of Sound of the Rockies' Christmas show, "Winter Wonderland", at Denver University's Gates Concert Hall. I deployed my D800+70-200 f/2.8 at the back of the hall and used a radio remote (thanks for the tip, Laura!) to trigger the camera while singing on the risers: it worked great. I also put an assistant in the house with my 1DX and the 24-105 f/4L.

These two shots were actually taken by a second assistant operating the D800 manually. The latter is a moderate crop: ya gotta love 36 megapixels when it comes time to crop a frame. BTW, the song in the second shot was "Santa Baby" and the ladies are a wonderful barbershop quartet called Ruby Blue.

Not one to let the grass grow under my feet, the day after our last performance we flew to Hilton Head for a little R&R. Today was a beautiful late fall day and we spent the last of the sunlight at Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge. Not too many birds to be seen (no wonder: we came across some yahoos walking their yellow Lab ahead of us on the trail, ignoring the signs prohibiting pets in the refuge), but a beautiful setting nonetheless.
