I’d grab some lenses if I were you. That stuff will be going cheap.

Sometimes you get lucky and get someone who understands whats up. At the worst, the manager is a photographer and understands if there’s a problem. I’d go up to 8×10 with them, and I think they do a great Black & White with some tweaking on your own.

For big jobs, I bring a bottle of Merlot over to my…Read more

Clueless in the forum Farktography tech talk http://www.farktography.com/forums/topic/filters-clueless/#post-4322 Wed, 15 Feb 2006 05:42:28 -0500 Always been a big fan of Hoya filters…better than Tiffen, but don’t break you like B+W. Sometimes, when shooting into a point light source, you’ll get a ghost reflection off the light bouncing off the front element and back up to the filter. Since the filters are multi-coated, that should alleviate some of it.

That said, I don’t put any…Read more

I do know that if you’re using older flash units, they won’t operate in TTL mode on the D50, something to consider in the total price, I suppose.

For 55 mm you’d by this…Read more

Whatever one you get, get ICE dust/scratch removal built in.

If my father didn’t shoot Canon (we do nature stuff and rent lenses), I would have bought the Minolta. One cool thing about the Minolta is there are some great used lenses CHEAP. Go to Keh.com and take a look. I still think about getting a 5D anyway just to shoot low light with primes and built-in stabilization.

I know the D200 is built solid, but I’m not sure the 20d needs fixing, at least picture-wise. Maybe the new camera will be built like the EOS3.

Too bad about your Minolta gear, I thought they were the only ones who…Read more
