September 4th, 2011

I currently have a Canon 40D with a Canon 621361 Zoom Wide Angle-Telephoto 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5 EF USM Autofocus Lens, I am looking to buy a second lens for glamour photography(mostly outdoor and some indoor) and I wanted to know if this was a good lens Canon Ef 75-300 4/5.6 Iii W/box (http://www.adorama.com/US%20%20%20%20329428.html), seems to be a good price, any suggestions or ideas? thanks
perhaps a better lens will be the Canon EF 75-300 F/4.5-5.6 IS USM? any ideas and/or suggestions where to get a good deal?

    Is it worth taking up these offers on a macro and zoom lens?

    September 1st, 2011

    I use a Nikon D3000, and with it came vouchers for £50 off a "35MM F1.8G AF-S DX for D3000 + AF-S DX 18-55VR" and £45 off a
    "55-200MM F4.5-5.6G AF-S VR DX BLACK for D3000 + AF-S DX 18-55VR"

    After some searching in Google I worked out that’s about £50 total for the zoom lens, and about £70 for the macro? I want a macro and zoom lens since I’m currently doing all types of photography, but are these actually worth buying? Seems way too cheap for a zoom or macro lens.

    I’m doing live photographs of bands, promo for bands, modelling, landscapes, nature photography.

    The only down sides I could find in reviews were that they *felt* cheap, and you had to look after them well – these aren’t really problems for me. At that price I’m willing to put up with it feeling a little tacky, as long as I still get some great pictures. But if these lenses are actually crap, I’ll probably go for a wide-angle lens like the Sigma 10-20mm, since this would be useful for band promo and dereliction projects. But getting a zoom lens AND macro would really help to vary my work further – at the moment I only have the 35-50mm standard kit lens.

    Also, I don’t know what the "+ AF-S DX 18-55VR" means – does this mean the autofocus is limited?

    Thanks for any help, will choose best answer.

          Will old Sigma lens for Minolta Maxxum 35mm camera fit any good digital cameras?

          August 10th, 2011

          I have a Sigma auto-focus camera lens that had been used on a Minolta Maxxum 5000 SLR camera. The camera is now gone, but the lens remains. It is a 70mm – 210mm zoom lens with an F4 – F5.6 aperture. I don’t want to go back to film, but that lens worked great. Are there any digital camera that it will fit?

            Best (nikkor) lens for nighttime photography?

            July 30th, 2011

            I own a Nikon D80 and I want a lens to use at night or in low light places. (A lens under 0 and wide angle preferably, if possible)
            Any suggestions?
            I will be taking take pictures of people in low-light conditions and city sights at night when traveling.
            I currently have an 18-55mm lens. Is it true that with my current lens if i zoom in to 50mm, the view would be the same as the 50mm f/1.4 or f/1.8 lens? Same for the 20mm f/2.8 or 12-24 f4 lens?

            Because I read somewhere that the D80 doesn’t have a "full frame". So the views would be different.

            I didn’t plan on using a tripod, but if I have to I will.

                What camera lens should I purchase for shallow depth of field?

                June 12th, 2011

                I own a Nikon D3100 (18-55 mm lens) and I really want to do more with my camera than what this lens allows. I’m looking for a lens that will give me really shallow depth of field, any suggestions? In addition to purchasing that lens, I am also looking to purchase a zoom lens. Any suggestions for that, too?
                Price is definitely a factor, but I do want good quality, so I’m looking for a good compromise.

                  What is a good beginning photojournalist lens?

                  June 2nd, 2011

                  I might be for too much at the moment, but I’m looking for a good, cheap (0 or less) lens for my Canon Rebel XT to start out as a freelance journalist.

                  I’ve done photography casually before and am still learning a lot about how everything works, so I’m not particularly well-versed in actually using the terminology. However, these are my main complaints:
                  - My lens never seems to be able to pick up much light. I’ve been trying to find f/2.8 lenses, but they all seem very expensive.
                  - A lot of "photojournalist" lenses seem to measure 18-50 mm, yet when I took photos at a publication before, my constant problem was that I couldn’t get close enough. Should I switch to a zoom lens then? In which case, should I get a wide-angle and a zoom lens? The problem is that getting both with f/2.8 would make it expensive, so should I only get one of that quality or both?

                  Thank you for the help.
