One is all plastic and the others all metal pro grade but if you want that Canon there`s plenty of adapters out there :)

So far as I recall, Cartier-Bresson trained as a painter, and then tried photography. Using the usual and somewhat clumsy cameras of the time, his work was not particularly good. Then the Leica range became available, and was just what he needed for the instant drawing he wanted to do. At the time it would have been the latest thing in technology, very expensive, with new models, lenses, and a...

Great, a big help, thanks very much Pat

I have the 50 1.8 it's a great lens. I though I'd lost it recently cos my camera bag felt empty it's that light. Let me know if you want an experimental image, say a subject at closest focus distance with a given background item to show amount of blur

Whether that is accurate depends on the newspaper standard I was referring to national newspapers which I know best but, as you say, the same standards broadly apply to local papers. JPG is the world standard for editorial submission now and anyone who supplied anything else would be out of the frame. For publications to accept RAW files would be like a company car trasnport manager who l...

Does Leica know that auto focus is now in vogue? AF first appeared in a mass-produced camera 35 years ago (Konica C35 AF). But Leica doesn't like to rush into anything new! :D Oh well, at least their S2 has AF............ but at £17k (body only) I don't suppose too many EPZers have one! ;)

Hi, not sure if this will help but I can usually get 1:1 shots with AF, you just have to get in as close as you can so that the camera can focus automatically, this prob won't be 1:1 but you then just have to edge forwards, pressing the shutter button to focus repeatedly until you get it to focus at 1:1. This technique works most of the time but is by no means foolproof, as already mentioned, ...

I use the sigma 70-200 2.8 non os for weddings along with a sigma 18-50 2.8 I do carry other lenses but those 2 cover most situations, the 18-50 gets used for group shots and the other for the ceremony and candids, both used on a 40D. The 70 end can be a bit close on a crop body but it does not cause any probs

Olympus is a big company - bigger than most realise. They produce many optical products, not just cameras and have cornered the market in certain medical devices. Despite Olympus's recent financial scandal, it seems to be felt that Nikon is more vulnerable as it is more camera-orientated.

Pixel binning will allow the user to have the benefits of very high resolution or very low noise depending on their requirements. I think this may be the basis on which the 41Mp Nokia sensor for camera phones will be operating. As there is no optical zoom, resolution will be reduced when you use the digital zoom, thereby keeping the noise level the same and you will still get a decent photo...

Why thank you. My post does not get commented on that frequently, despite it's size. :P

Thanks Pete. I never use JPEG, if RAW is available. But it looks like the RAW images are also corrected in-camera. That said, I used my Pen with old manual Canon FD lenses and never found any issues. So correction can't be overly drastic. But it leads, I guess, to a whole new discussion! What matters more - the end result, or how you get there? ;)

Wow Thank you all for your input :D glad to know there is always help. :D As for the camera i think im going to start with the D3100 and the extra money that i would have spent on the body ill save for when i want some new lenses. I am just going for what is comfy as like it as been said i need to learn about photography before spending to much money and confusing myself with enthuast contr...

There is a lot of good feedback. Digressing to D3s (which I have) compared to D4, I bought the D3s within a month of release at £3,400. As an NPS member I could probably get aa D4 within a month - but at around £5,300. There is no doubt the D4 is a better camera - but for me not 50% better - and my D3s makes first class A3 prints :) Where the D800/e cames into my equation (not necessarily an...

Thanks for your help in this, Sooty_1. Greatly appreciated. Nick

Kasia & Mariusz Wloczysiak (Poland) When we met in June 2003, there was a sense of something exciting awaiting us. We knew from our very first contacts that fine art nude photography was the major field of interest to both of us. Neither of us could th
