<p>Hi<br>

I am looking for a store that I can make photo books with good quality, color management, that send it to worldwide and with low price. I prefer if I can edit the book myself offline, and send it later in PDF format.<br>

A friend told me about blurb.com. Someone here knows them?<br>

If you have another option, please tell me.<br>

Thanks</p>

<p>I am Gustavo, and I live in São Paulo.<br>

Do you know brfoto.com.br? Please visit, because it is the greatest photography forum in portuguese.</p>

<p>See you</p>

<p>The quality is the point. The prices (including shipping) is the same I have here if I print more than 50 photos; but I do not have the option for metalic photo paper here, and few labs have color accuracy.<br>

I see adoramapix website, but the international shipping cost is U$20,00. If I find other print service with cheaper shipping (about U$10,00 is sufficient) with the same options, certainly it would be better then all Brazilian labs.</p>

<p>Hello</p>

<p>I live in Brazil, and I ever sent my images for print in a minilab thats prints in 400dpi, kodak royal (or endura) paper and I had the option to print in metalized paper with superb finishing (noritsu minilab).<br>

This lab is too far away from my house (400Km distance) and it sends me the prints by mail, BUT the metalized paper was gone, and the price is expensive compared with other options I have near home (with worse quality...)</p>

<p>It's because I'm looking for a lab that prints:<br>

- 400 dpi or better<br>

- metalized paper option<br>

- FTP server (or other option for batch transfer)<br>

- Low price (less than U$1,00 for a 15x21cm print)<br>

- Shipping for worldwide with low price<br>

- Color certified</p>

<p>Anybody knows about it?</p>

<p>I choose canon anyway. Thanks for the reply!</p>

<p> </p>

<p>The hardware for calibrating monitors is basicly a digicam. Anybody knows a process to use a digital camera to calibrate monitors?<br>

 <br>

 </p>

<p>I find in www.bhphotovideo.com</p>

<p>sigma is U$749 (in stock) and canon is U$639.95 (not in stock)</p>

<p>Hello<br>

I will buy a 5D MKII and a 15mm fisheye, and I do not know what lens is better: canon or sigma.</p>

<p>I would buy canon, but the canon is cheaper than sigma (this is unnusual), and this fact doubts me.</p>

<p>Anybody have some experience with these lenses in a full frame (35mm) body?</p>

I forget, The sigma is super sharp, but have much flare (flare monster), and I read the 17-35 have little flare and little sharpness...<br>

Anybody tested these lens?

I have the sigma, and a friend want to change with me the 17-35 L, and I will

pay U$150,00 in change.<br>

What do you think about it? I use this lens in EOS 30 and Rebel XT bodies, and

I love wide angle. Perhaps in future I buy the canon 10-22 or tamron 11-18 (I

read it can be used in full frame bodies from 14 to 18mm).

Perhaps I get a used 17-35 L almost new, in change to my sigma 15-30 plus U$200,00.<br>

Here in Brasil, a 16-35 new cost ~U$1600,00 (with taxes), sigma about ~U$850,00 and 17-40 about U$1200.<br>. Very expensive.<br>

I'm reading the Fred Miranda review, thanks.

What do you think about these lenses?<br>

<br>

What is more sharp? What have less flare?<br>

<br>

I'm trading my sigma 15-30 to a canon 17-35/2.8 L, because the lens flare in

sigma is too bad, but the sigma's sharpness is very good.<br>

Please help

I have a minolta A1, and I suppose I can get good IR pictures if I remove the

anti-IR filter.<br>

Anybody knows how to do this?

I'm looking for a used wide angle lens for canon EOS, to use in my

Elan 7e.<br>

What's lens better? I find 15-30 to 50 books more expensive than 17-

35, booth used in mint condition.<br><br>

Thanks for help.

I'm brazilian and I live in São Paulo. I know various places from southeast to the south of Brasil, and I recommend caution in big cities, like São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Curitiba, Belo Horizonte, Brasília or Rio Grande do Sul.<br>

I think if you go to New York, you should have to be cautious to don't get robbed, it's the same in São Paulo.<br>

The Brasil is very big, and is too much difficult to answer your question correctly. Where will you go? To northeast, north, south, pantanal, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo... Here we have a lot of natural beauties!

I don't know if you need to pay duties. If I go to USA and buy some photo equip., I pay taxes when I arrive here if the total price is greater then U$500,00. I don't know if these taxes apply to you.<br>

Take a look at my portfolio, and send mail to me at will to talk about my country and your doubts.

I wanna buy a digital camera, and I would read about photonetters

opinions.<br>

I read the full review about these cameras at <a

href="www.dpreview.com"><i>dpreview</i></a>, and I prefeer the

minolta.<br>

If you have one of these cameras, please write your opinion.<br>

<b>THANKS!</b>

I recommend tamron 70-300 F4-5.6 LD Macro. It's better constructed than sigma, autofocus is faster. Macro is 1:2, and you can improve this with some extension tube and close-up filters kits.<br>

Tamrom 90mm macro is the lens for tiny things, but it's more expensive and not so useful for other things.

I upgraded from a EOS 300V (rebel Ti) to a used EOS 30 (Elan 7e). I like so much the new camera, but it is heavy (to travel it s...) and stronger. I do not need more features than I have with EOS 30.<br>

If you will shoot more than 30 rolls in a month, shoot in rain, snow or desert and you have a mule to carry your equipment, EOS 1 is for you. In this case you'll need "L" expensive series lenses.

For "ease of use" option 1. Both lenses have same filter diameter and zoom will help for fast shots.<br>

For quality option 2. Primes are better than zooms.<br>

Option 3 only if you really need the 20-24 range. I do not use this.<br>

I tryed some rolls of this film and I don't like it. Too grainy,

bad colors, etc.<br>

I processed in AGFA D-Lab minilab, with AGFA prestige paper. The

lab is very good and I like all other works they make for me.<br>

From AGFA, I like very much Optima II 100 and Ultra 100, optima for

general use and ultra for high color saturation.<br>

Anybody thoughts?
