Request: DIY camera mounting

alan93rsa · 02-23-2009, 03:00 PM

I can't help from the Canon side but I have worked with Nikon. I use a 14-24 mm and a 24-70 mm both of which might be fun for your setup. Note, I've not done this in a car. The idea of one of those ending up on the floor is a bit much for me. Mounted to a windshield the 14-24 mm would provide a huge panorama. For general work though I think the 24-70 mm might be better.

That, my friend, is exactly why I'm looking for a rock solid mounting solution !

Appreciate your thoughts on the lenses!

I'm not sure if you found a mount and lens yet, but I figured I would reply to attempt to respond to the Canon lens part of your post.

I have the 24-70mm f/2.8L and I think it is a great lens. It works well with my 20D, but I am not sure how wide it would go with a full-frame sensor. The clarity and crispness of the images I have taken with this lens have really impressed me, and made it worth its price.
