Re: Lens recommendations?
If you don't need the extra stop of light gathering ability in the Sigma 70-200mm, f2.8 HSM, the Canon EF 70-200mm, f4L USM is a superior zoom in most respects. Focus speed, focus accuracy and sharpness wide open are particularly good on the Canon f4L. The Sigma is not far behind the Canon in image quality when it is used… -

Help with a kit for a Nikon D7000
I just switched to Nikon from Sony and am having a hard time figuring out what lenses to get for my D7000. On the Sony I used a CZ 16-80 (90% of the time), the Minolta 70-210 (3% of the time), and the Minolta 35mm f/1.8 (7% of the time). The only thing I felt I was missing from my kit was the wide range (10-20mm), which I… -
FS: Canon 40D, 55-250IS, 70-200 Mug (5300 clicks) - (US)
I have a 40D that is great shape up for sale. It has a few marks on the top LCD, and the back lcd has just a couple of spots where there are very fine/tiny marks, I have them shown below. It works spectacularly, and as picky as I was with the 7D, this 40D has been a very satisfactory backup for me. I am selling off a few… -
Anybody need parts for a 35mm f/2.0 lens?
Ugh. At the end of February I bought a 35mm f/2.0 lens off of eBay back in $195. Turns out I should've splurged on the additional $45 and bought it new. The lens performed flawlessly for 6 months, but recently the focusing mechanism locked up. I considered sending it to Sacramento for repairs (minimum $100 just to open it… -
Re: @ Qarik - Need your feedback on this one
Rey... Most of my life, I was a skinny guy, or Hard Gainer if you want to use the PC term so it's always difficult for me to put on size. I know, nice problem to have but you know how it goes... one is never content. Right now, I'm in the process of trying to put on more muscle. I'm lifting pretty heavy and eating around… -

Re: [?] about DSLR cameras
One thing that no one mentioned for taking photos where not only the subject is in focus, but the background is as well. When using a narrow aperture (high f/stop, such as f/18, f/22, f/32), the shutter speed needs to be slower in order to give the sensor the amount of light it needs to expose the picture properly, and… -
Re: Sweet Spot for 24-105L
The "sweet spot" for any lens isn't hard to find. Looking at the MTF charts in the link for the lens in question, it becomes apparent that the sweet spots vary with focal length: http://www.photozone.de/8Reviews/lenses/canon_24105_4_is/index.htm The MTF charts indicate which apertures/focal lengths provide the best from…
