Re: Monster Truck/Freestyle Motocross Need Help
Main thing is the shutter speed. You may be introducing camera shake and subject movement blur. For a 75-300mm lens on a 1.5x crop factor body, your shutter speeds should be about 1/75 x1.5 -1/300 x1.5= 1/120-1/450 sec's. Having the IS would allow you to reduce the needed shutter speed by a factor of 2 (2 stops) or… -
Canon 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 IS lens test
Crops of center and corner of the wall where I test lenses and such. http://tomyi.smugmug.com/gallery/3918448#P-1-15 First of all, in terms of build feel, it's light and they have a paint that is blotchy like on the L lens barrels so it's not so smooth as before.

Re: Good starter tripod
ahhh...a Knife Knut.... No, not rambling too much at all. In fact I appreciate your perspective-and I think it makes a lot of sense. I never did get a Sebenza. I quit at the G-10 Police model and my AFCK's. I did manage to 'collect' around 20 Greco's though. Someday I'll have to part with them to recoup some lens… -

For the AF-S 300mm f2.8G ED VR it is ~49metres, for my Sigma 800mm f5.6 it is 125m , within their working ranges the… -
Re: Quantaray Clear UV Protector = bad photos!
I don't doubt that the filter you got has flaws (and that you should exchange it), but they may or may not be the cause of the flares in an image. Specks of dirt and other flaws in/on the lens will show up but the degree which they affect the image varies. Small, nonreflective objects in/on the lens are so far away from… -
Re: A little advice please...for a newbie!
I'd like to offer some advice from the perspective of a photo hobbyist who has been right where you are. Don't buy cheap glass. That's it. That's my big piece of advice.
