Hi,

Could you show some pictures of the bag which you modified? Thank you!

Regarding the quality? I've used the lens a couple of times. The color rendition seems to be better than the Sigma equivalent and if you can afford the Bigma, 50-500, that would be a better buy but that's double the cost. The Tokina matches up and is better than the sigma. Best bang for your buck

Hi Guys,

I just bought CompuTrekker from Lowepro and am very happy with its

build quality. But I think the computrekker it too much for a simple

day trip and a bag where I can hide my camera equipment. I'm currently

looking at the Lowepro Linx 320 as it looks by far the most urban and

unnoticable bag around. Have anyone had any experience with this bag?

Thank you!

Hi,

There is a new Subpak flash that support E-TTL, I was just informed by Sunpak. It's the Sunpak PZ 40X. So far, I think only Adorama has it. I'm still contemplating on buying that, or the Sigma DG Super or wait till my money comes, next year probably after slaving at couple of jobs, and afford a 550EX.

Hey guys, something came up, and I just signed up to become a part time photo journalist. Looks like I'll need the flash after all, any idea which third party gives the best range? Thanks!

Hi,

What actually does the angle finder do? Magnify the view finder?

Well, I'm not interested in having a flash unit for the flash, just assisting my D60's weak AF. So my main focus would be getting the best for my money. -and also the best range...

Hey guys, one more thing, who/what are the major insurance company that is trustable and reliable in the NY area? I live in Buffalo, NY and I was curious.

I just checked the canon website and I couldn't find the specifications about the the 550EX and the 420EX's AF assist lamp's range. Only the ST-E2 is stated to have about 10m. Does anyone else know or have experience with the mentioned equipment?

What's a ST-E2? Does anyone know the actualy fact that the Sigma's AF helps the AF by twice the distance? I'm not so concerned with the AF points, if it's only in the center, I guess I'll just have to recompose often for my night photography. But i'm interested in the Sigma, does anyone have any idea's ? Some people told me that the Canon Assist AF lamp for the 550EX is better. Which is?

I'm not interested in using the flash for my night photography, I' just was concerened with the D60's weak AF in low light. So I was considering about investing in the flash unit because I have heard from photographers that the Af lamp on the flash is better than the one on the camera. So it just boils down to which AF assist lamp is better? The one on the 420EX or the 550EX? Thanks!

Hey guys,

 

As I try to venture out into night photography, I was wondering if

adding a flash to my Canon D60 will enhance low light AF. If so, which

flash unit should I buy? Does any make a difference? I shoot landscape

and somewhere in between portraits of trees and nature. The only

choices I have now is the 420 EX and the 550 EX, is there a difference

between af assist? Thanks!

hi,

I'm interested in your Canon d60, all I have now for swap is a Minolta DiMAGE A1 though...interested?

I have recently asked a similar question and the folks here managed to convince me to get a 1.4 version. It's simply better and after reading several reviews, I chose the 1.4 simply because

 

1. Better Built

2. FTM

3. Low Noise

4. Better bokeh

5. Extra stop

LOL, thanks for the overwhelming information, but what is a homeowner's policy? Like I said, I'm just currently a student attending university and I don't travel. I only do night photography around town and all I'm worried about is getting mugged. So do I need a home owner's policy? Thanks.

Thanks for all the responses, looks like I'm give Santa a late knock on the door...LOL...hope he understands..... does anyone know where I can start looking for a good deal? Thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for the fast response, but let me clarify some things first. I'm just a student, I own nothing that I want to be insured except for my camera and my lenses. Where do I start looking? Can I do these online? Thanks.

Well, for those who want rubbery grip on their big ed, try this:

I tried doing those for a couple of times for a few classmates to who came up with an idea, take those black rubber duct tapes that have black plastic, almost rubbery surface and carefully wrap the area of hold which you see fit neccesary. Perhaps that might help abit.

Hi,

This might sound stupid, but who do you send the dslrs to for professional cleaning? And what do you guys use to clear out dust at the sensors? I'm kinda afraid that I have some in there too.

Thanks Sandy! Glad to be part of this community! But one question though, this may sound stupid, how to we know if we already have our photo.net emails established? Thanks.

Hi!

 

Ever since I' started doing night photography for the last four

months, I find myself loving night photography more and more. But for

the past few weeks I can't keep myself from wondering whether I would

be robbed or mugged at gun point if I keep continuing doing so. Does

having a second hand owned Canon EOS D60 keep me from buying an

insurance? I have been reading the threads and was thinking of getting

myself one before my D60(s) get robbed from me. I'm only a student and

already I'm living on the edge with my photography equipment. Which

also means I can't afford to replace them anymore. I just need

coverage on theft and perhaps damage? If insurance is possible, how

about lenses? Are second hand lenses also covered? Thanks for the advice!

Hi,

 

I thought hard about this and think that I'm going to plunge into buying the 50mm F1.4 lens, which I can get about 200-250 used. But suddenly I came across the Canon EF 28mm 1.8, and that got me thinking, is that better optically than the 50mm 1.4 or even the 2.5 macro? Thanks.

Are the vivitar series 1 really really that good?

Yeah, The EF 2.5 50mm Macro seems to be in the best of both worlds...according to some people. But is the optical quality of the 1.4 really not at par with the EF 2.5 Macro? Is it worth trading off a few F-stops?

Yeah I'm a new subscriber too! Proud to be one of photo.net patrons!
