Re: beginner macro lenses
Welcome to Dgrin! And may I say you've found a downright wonderful place for exactly this kind of question! I spent so much time on my reply, Candid Arts has already summed up what I had to say nicely! But here's the long version: Since you say you've registered a few weeks ago, I'm guessing you've checked out some of the… -
Re: More on focusing
Elaine, this recent thread is relevant to your post: http://dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=182112 Here is a pastiche of my remarks in that thread, and it's interesting to me how deja vu your experience with this lens is: QUOTE: I think of the 135 f2L as the lens to use when you're doing anything which is bounded by 'portrait… -

Workflow and settings - RAW - Bridge
Warm greetings to all awesome fellow Smuggers. OK...(so much to learn, first a little history)...a friend gave me a nice Canon 10D. The price was right, yet I needed a lens. Upselling myself along the way (you know how it goes; I was initially thinking a Sigma for $200) I finally "settled" on a Canon L Series 24-105 US IS… -

Thank you for using tax.help email to inquire about your photography business and sales tax in Texas. You are a photographer, and you do not have a studio. You work only on location,… -
Re: First dSLR, what to get?
As a brand new shooter, I have to disagree with the advice to stay away from RAW. I recently got my XTi a few months ago; it's my first dSLR.

Re: Talk me into Nikon...
There have been some fairly interesting answers here. I'll offer my thoughts as a sports shooter, and a shooter of both systems (and owner of both systems though at very different levels). A HUGE consideration is at what price level you are going to jump in. If you are going to jump in at the 7D level, things are a bit… -
