<p>I was in Washington, DC last week to attend my daughter's graduation and awarding of her master's degree. I decided to keep photo gear to a minimum on this trip, taking only an EOS M with the 18-55mm and 22mm lenses. This was my first extended use of the camera and, despite it's lackluster reviews (mostly involving AF speed), I found I really like this little camera; very compact, lightweight, and great IQ from my point of view. As a further aside and comment on build quality, I dropped the 22mm about 3 feet onto a marble floor with no damage whatsoever. Impressive. Anyway, please forgive the narrative, here's an evening photo from the National Mall.</p><div></div>

<p>You're in for a treat. The area around Brookings/Beverley Beach St. Park on the far So. Coast has many sea stacks. Check any number of the pull outs/parking spots at Samuel Boardman St. Park just north of Brookings. A trip up the Rogue River on the jet boat from Gold Beach is worth looking into. Oregon Dunes between Coos Bay and Florence. Get an iconic shot of Heceta Head Lighthouse just north of Florence. Also, definitely check out Cape Perpetua, between Florence and Yachats. Google "Thor's Well" for images; great capture at high tide. There is much on the south and central Oregon coast to rival or best Cannon Beach, which I agree is a great spot but a good 2 1/2 to 3 hours north of Newport. Recommended reading: "Photographing Oregon" by Greg Vaughn. Have a great trip.</p>

<p>Thanks, everybody, for the comments on my wind farm photo. I found myself lucky enough to be in a "right place, right time" kind of moment last week.</p>

<p>It will be easier than you think. There is only one firmware update for the 40D.<br>
On the other hand, there have been numerous software updates (DPP, etc.).</p>

<p>Most reviews find that both lenses have very good optical performance for the price and suggest that any difference between the two is probably negligible. Some suggest the Tamron has inconsistent AF, but mine focuses wonderfully on a 40D and I am very happy with the lens. I chose it over the Canon for the following reasons: price ($400 - with rebate v. $550), non-rotating front for use with polarizer, came with hood, 6 year warranty v. 1 year.</p>
<p>Tamron buyers seem very happy with their purchases, and Canon buyers seem very happy with theirs. I suspect you will be happy with whichever one you choose. </p>

<p>+1 for both David and Paul. I have a 3030 head; it came with QR plate part no. 3157n, which has been replaced by part no. 200PL-14. I've purchased plates under both part numbers, and they are identical. Manfrotto is now calling it the "RC2 Quick Release System." </p>
