Through the end of October, Tallyn's is offering a $100 Nikon Instant Savings on the Nikkor 70-300mm VR when purchased with the D300s. The previous D700 $300 instant savings that has been offered in past months was made permanent last month, making the D700 $2699. These are instant savings, which means no rebate forms and no waiting for reimbursement. The discount is taken right off the price you pay. Nikon's Instant Savings for October begin on the 4th and run until the end of the month.

Canon's Other Big Release: The EF 100 Macro IS
While the release of the new EOS 7D is the big headline today, quietly released alongside the 7D is the new EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS lens - A powerful new piece of glass for macro photography & portraiture. This is also the first lens to feature Canon's Hybrid IS, which we covered a couple months ago when the technology was first announced.
As it is a true 1:1 macro lens, the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L USM Macro IS will deliver a subject to your sensor at the same size it is in real life. 1x magnification is achieved at the Minimum Focus Distance of 1'. It doesn't take a very big subject to completely fill the frame at this 1x magnification.
If you're the type to be interested in such things, the MTF Chart for this lens is, pardon my hyperbole, INSANE. In a nutshell, what you're looking at is the lens' sharpness (along the y axis) from center (left side of the x axis), towards the corners (right side of the x axis), measured at various apertures.
If that chart is too much for you, and I totally understand that it could be, just take it that this lens is SHARP.... Make that SHARP and IN STOCK.

Introducing Strobies from Interfit
Strobies are a new shoe-mount flash light modifier line from Interfit, now availble at Tallyns.com. This line is based around the Flex Mount - essentially a speedring for shoe-mount strobes - which connects to the front of your strobe by pressure and does not require velcro or tape. Flex Mounts are available for the Canon 430EXII/580EXII, Nikon SB-600/SB-800 and the Nikon SB-900.
We have available for order the snoot, soft box, barn doors, beauty dish, 20 degree grid, 30 degree grid and the globe diffuser. We have only found two issues when testing these light shaping tools - The softbox does not connect/disconnect from the Flex Mount as quickly as the other accessories, and the larger accessories may block the TTL sensors on the front of your speedlight.
The Canon EOS 7D is Official
The Canon EOS 7D has gone from rumor to reality today as Canon announces the newest camera in their EOS lineup. The 7D features an all-new 18.0 Megapixel APS-C size CMOS sensor and Dual DIGIC 4 Image Processors, with captures at up to ISO 12800 and speeds of up to 8 fps.
The EOS 7D has a new all cross-type 19-point AF system with improved AI Servo AF subject tracking and user-selectable AF area selection modes for sharp focus no matter the situation. The EOS 7D's Intelligent Viewfinder, an entirely newly-designed technology, provides 100% coverage and displays user-selected AF modes as well as a spot metering circle and on demand grid lines. New iFCL Metering with 63-zone dual-layer metering system uses both focus and color information to provide accurate exposure even in difficult lighting. The EOS 7D also captures Full HD video at 30p (29.97 fps), 24p (23.976 fps) and 25p with an array of manual controls, including manual exposure during movie shooting and ISO speed selection. The EOS 7D features a magnesium alloy body that is dust- and weather-resistant and shutter durability of up to 150,000 cycles.
Tallyn's will have the EOS 7D available on our website as soon as we have firm pricing available from Canon. In the meantime, please call (800)433-8685 to be placed on our preorder list.
