Re: Just One
Kelly, Mine is a Yashica Mat 124G. Yashica had a long affair with twin lens reflex cameras, but this was the last model in production. They are readily available on EBAY. I paid $124 shipped for mine, and bought a $10 kit to replace the light seals. The foam rubber was badly deteriorated into a gooey mess, but the guy I… -

squirrel ad absurdum
Over in furry friend tmlphoto posted a really cool shot, but when I looked at it un reduced I found a bunch of artifacts and crud as seen from the following crop: I took a look at the data in the file and found: 10d, 100-400L at 400mm, ISO400, wide open at f5.6, a -.5 exposure adustment, and 1/350th.

Re: Canon 400mm f5.6L ?'s
That combo doesn't work with my 20D. I've spent a lot of time researching TCs and have found that not everyone gets the same results, even with the same combination of components. I have a 20D, 100-400, and 400 F5.6, Kenko Pro DG 1.4x and Canon 1.4x. Both TCs are taped. Here's what works and what doesn't work for me.… -
Re: Tokina 12-24 & Sigma 8-16
The Sigma 8-16mm f/4.5-5.6 DC HSM is in a class of zoom lenses I prefer to call "Ultra-Wide-Zoom" lenses. It is very unique in the angle-of-view (AOV) it can provide, and it does have some concessions. One appears to be a considerable field curvature, exacerbated by close focus. What this means is that for subjects closer… -
Trying to sell a lens and I think I'm being low balled
So I got my rebel kit back in December with the EF-S 18-55mm IS lens. I've since gone on to buy two new lenses, and realized I don't use the kit lens anymore, so why not sell it and put it toward another lens? So I did a bit of research on the lens and what it goes for used, and this is what I found... Adorama $124:… -
Re: Indecisive decision on next glass purchase
Getting decent zoom lenses for under $500 is a bit of a challenge. The 28-135mm is said to be pretty decent for the money, but bear in mind that on an APS-C format camera like the XSi, 28mm will not be very wide. Rather than acting like a wide-to-near-telephoto lens, as it would on a full-frame camera, it will be more like…
