Atlas Moth, taken today in the ENMAX Conservatory.

Sanity check: has anybody done something like this, or thinking along similar lines? CB even sold his 5D2 and went for M43. Indeed, I made the change. I will leave others to comment about the sanity aspect! :D Currently have the Olympus Pen E-PL2 but that will probably be disposed of, when my next M4/3 camera arrives............. the Olympus OM-D EM-5. Would you get the Oly 12-50...

And you in turn have made unsubstantiated assertions that the EP3 system is inherently better (by unsubstantiated I mean reference to articles that support it). Call it quits, eh? Crikey, this is a prickly forum. The fact that the mirror-less cameras determine focus at the sensor is "inherently better" because that's where the final image is being recorded - pretty uncontroversial...

The Sigma 100-300 f4 Mozzy....A very sharp lens but a tad over your budget:( Oh bummer:( I've just had a look around and it is one mighty big lens at 13". One on the bay in mint for £500. Mozzy

I made it somewhere between 2 and 3 so good enough for me. I did have portrait as well, but it looses the aspect of it lying at rest, well that is my excuse, never said I was a decent photographer :-) any way off to play with some of the others, I was trying to catch them moving past some autumnal trees, and I ought to sort out at least one from his attempt at getting near a female.

On your camera, being a DX format camera the 50mm will be a short telephoto, just like the 55mm setting on your existing lenses. The advantages are that it will give better image quality than your existing lenses, and having a maximum aperture of f1.8 means you can do very shallow depth of field Something that a lot of people never talk about on here is the fact that irrespective of what eve...

Er, a 70-200 is nowhere near being an ultra-wide or a fisheye - or are you wondering if you can save some dosh on a telezoom to put towards a wide? Yes basically, but not at the expense of bot getting a decent 70-200, The Tamron and Sigma do look fairly competitive, wondered how they faired in real world useage, if anyone first hand experience of different versions(tele-zooms).

At a risk of resurrecting a long dead topic, I just thought I'd let you know that in my reviews specification, I will be listing the dots and pixels of the screen as per the manufacturers policy. For example, I am currently reviewing the 1Ds MkIII, it says a screen resolution of 230,000. I have listed it as dots and bracketed 76,000 pixels as per the email I received from them. Nb, I know...

I totally agree with Sooty, I've been doing photography for about 18 months now.....you don't need to have top of the range kit to have fun and get great shots.....yes it would be nice to have it but we all need to start somewhere. My mate been doing this for over 20 years and he said to me lern to use what you can afford........I think this was good advice. I save watch for deals and buy a lit...

ATTENTION EVERYONE ! Those of you who helped and advised me on which of the two lens to go for, Thank You very much! I decided to buy the 24-70 f2.8 .brand new sealed. Now, I need a wide screen lens!! Any Idea's boys and girls? hehehe..

I picked up a cheap rubber bellows hood of ebay for my canon 17-85 Works well, as it just pops into 3 positions (wide, zoom, and some where in the middle) But i then seem to spend too much time checking for vignetting if i'm zooming in and out for a variety of subjects. So often i get flair on the final shot before remembering to put the hood on - doh to late !

"I spent 4 grand on a new camera because I can" Well, it helps to keep the makers in business, so that if I need a new camera in the future they might still be there! :D

OK, I'm going to lock this now as it will just end up in a James bashing session (if it hasn't already).

I can list my lenses, but it will be very difficult for me to tell why i got them for each lens, also i have different formats, so that may take pages too, but i will talk about some of what i have, for me i can add later when requested. Canon DSLR lenses: EF 50mm f1.8 and 1.4USM: i bought the first as it was cheap, but didn't like the design, so i bought the second as an upgrade mostly. ...

The K10d is indeed fabulous, I love mine. I bought it after much deliberation about 15 months ago, and I haven't been disappointed. That said I've not invested in any lenses as my dad has plenty of (old) K-mount glass I can borrow, and now I find myself wondering if this wouldn't be a good time to jump ship, with no lens investment to protect. I look at Nikon and see a huge array of Ni...

The magic of photography hooked me when I was a teenager who had borrowed his father's 35mm Rolleiflex camera. It was in my makeshift darkroom that I watched, fascinated, as images I had first seen in my mind's eye, then photographed, slowly came to perma
