<p>The best choice for me would be:<br>

10~22mm f/3.5-4.5<br /> 100mm f/2.8 Macro<br /> 28~105mm f/3.5-4.5<br /> 70~200mm f/2.8L IS<br /> 50mm f/1.2L<br /> 500mm f/4<br /> <br /> Good Luck dude.</p>

 

Thank you all for your great comments which I will of course consider when I will purchase my next macro lens. Regards.

Hello all friends,

 

I have now a Canon 400D (Rebel XTi) and I am looking for a good Macro Lens with

the feature of 1:1 macro capability, do you have any suggestions about the model

and the price in $US?

I just wonder why don't you plan for an annual conference which gathers all

different photographers from all over the world. This conference will show the

last techniques in digital or typical photography and related equipments and

methods. I have no idea if there are similar conference which may organize

internationally in a specified country in North America or Europe. I need your

appreciated comments and supports. Regards.

A friend of mine has an ultra compact (Sony DSC-P200) and has a problem with its

built-in flash. When he tries to take a photo, the flash is not synchronized

with the moment of capturing the photo. So, he got a dark final photo. Is it a

setting's fault or a malfunction in the camera itself and how can he fix the

problem of synchronization to get a good photo?

 

Thank you so much for your expected help.

Thank you all for your comments and I did mean to get more specific answers for my post. All I wanted to know was only the impact and limits of photography on people. For me, I am living in a very poor society which has no interest about photography. People think about other essential issues and consider the photography as a luxury. The majority of people at my country does not care about the direct and essential message of a great and original photo. I wanted to know the differences about different societies regarding the moral and ethic message of the photography.

 

Sorry if I was a little vague and I do again thank you all for your kind contributions to my post.

Are there any specialized institutes for learning digital photography in

European countries (Spain-Portugal-Italy-Greece-Russia) including the costs of

lodging and courses? I am not sure about the North America but the cost may be

more than Europe. I need to get courses in photography including digital field

with adequate costs. I will be appreciated if you will be able to give me some

addresses or links to those institutes. Thank you for your help.

Again another perplexed questions for me. What are the implicit-explicit

limits of the photography for both photographers and society? Also, what are

the implicit-explicit impacts of the photography for both photographers and

society?

Thank you all for your kind and helpful comments regarding my last question

about the EOS system.

 

I am not sure if you mean by the term IS the Image Stabilization at the lens

itself.

 

What will be the main differences when you get your photo by a dedicated MACRO

lens and the same shot by using EXTENSION TUBES?

 

Now, I am satisfied to take into my consideration the following equipments: 1)

Canon 50mm f1.8 lens ($80) since most of you recommended it but I cannot

understand how it could work as a telephoto lens with only a 50mm focal

length? It seems to me a standard lens used for portrait and general

photography.

 

2) I am also satisfied with the Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4.5 ($390) for a wide-

angle zoom lens. There is a note regarding this lens (Not compatible with 35mm

or digital cameras with larger image sensor than APS-C size), what about the

image sensor of the XTi ?

 

3) For the telephoto, Sigma 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 DG Macro Autofocus Lens ($280),

what do you think of this lens?

 

Thank for all replies and for your kind recommendations.

Thank for all replies and for your kind recommendations.

As a friendly suggestion, what do you recommend on the following equipment for

a beginner photographer in the field of digital photography? What other wide-

angle lenses could fit on the specified DSLR for getting better landscape

photos? What about the adaptability of the corresponding AF mounts of lenses

on the specified DSLR?

 

The digital equipments are:

1- DSLR: Canon Digital Rebel XTi (400D) ($750-800 US)

 

2- Wide-angle zoom lens: 18-50 mm F3.5-5.6 DC (MSRP: $180 USD at

www.sigmaphoto.com)

Or: 24-70mm F3.5-5.6 ASPHERICAL HF (MSRP: $180 USD at www.sigmaphoto.com)

 

3- Standard zoom lens: 28-105mm F3.8-5.6 UC-III ASPHERICAL IF (MSRP: $160 USD

at www.sigmaphoto.com)

 

4- Telephoto zoom and Macro lens: 70-300 mm F4-5.6 DG MACRO (MSRP: $200 USD at

www.sigmaphoto.com)

 

The general purposes for the whole system is getting photos of landscape,

portraits, architecture and macro.

 

Thank you for your help.

When they said that the new Rebel XTi has these two disadvantages, what do

they mean by those two main disadvantages?

 

1) Images on the soft side at default settings.

2) No spot metering.

 

Could you give me examples about the side effects of those disadvantages and

make a comparison between the XTi and other DSLR regarding the disadvantages?

 

Thank you. Regards ..

Thank you all for your kind comments are recommendations. Biliana, I do join my voice to you and I have stated above that I have advices my friend to get the Canon Rebel XT or 350D. I am sure that the new digital camera successor from Canon to the 350D will be really great and maybe we should wait for Canon to announce its new DSLR. Thank you again Biliana and for all other professional photographers in the Photo.net

I am not if the digital software supports widely and strongly the saying [Fake

your digital photo, it may not be a true shot]. Could you simply tell me why

could a professional photographer turns to a digital photography? Maybe it

needs a try and maybe it is time for digitizing everything. I need to get your

appreciated comments.

My friend asked me to do her a favor. She is -as am I- a beginner in digital

photography. She told that she chose two DSLRs and want to decide of one of

them. Canon Rebel XT [350D] and New Nikon D80. For me, I am tending to Canon

Rebel XT since it is cheaper and widely used among photographers. The new

Nikon D80 is more expensive and still new in the market. What about the range

of lenses for each manufacturer? Could we say that Canon lenses are more

versatile and widely used comparing to Nikkor or Nikon lenses?

I am not sure if should I tell her that or just tell her to wait to get more

information and reviews about Nikon D80. Maybe it will be better than Canon

350D regardless of its price.

Every time I have a question to ask I know that I am still a beginner in

photography. This time my question is about Image Stabilization. I am not sure

if this feature comes with DSLR and also associated D-Lenses. If there will

not be an IS feature in DSLRs or lenses, what would be the substitute

comparing to the SLR-Like cameras? I found out that also there are categories

of Image Stabilization like the [shift-type] which is mentioned in the Canon

PowerShot S2 IS. If I want to know that for example Canon EOS 350D has an IS

feature or not? And what about all related Sigma or Canon lenses with the IS

feature?

Thank you all for your kind comments on my first question. Thank you also Rebecca for your question which enriches my information about this EOS DSLR. I am planning to not purchase the camera with the lens kit. I will try to get a GOOD wide-angle lens (10mm f/2.8 or 16mm f/2.8). It will be more expensive but it deserves that price since that I am sure I will get more professional shots. Thank you again for your help.

I am not sure if the Canon 18-55mm Lens which is supplied in the lens kit of

the Canon Rebel XT (350D) is a good lens. I mean since it is 18mm that it can

be categorized as a good wide-angle lens which can be used to get good

landscape and nature shots. I want to know what is the relation between the

category of the lens and the range of the focal length? For example, does the

lens EF 28-300mm will work to get professional shots for both Telephotos and

wide-angle views?

I found in the web site [http://www.dcresource.com] the following description

about the DSLR Olympus E-Volt 500:

 

[ ... there's a 2X crop factor on whatever lens you put on the camera, so a 15

mm lens has the field-of-view of a 30 mm lens... ] Does this mean that a 300mm

lens would have the field of view of 600mm by using the 2X crop factor in this

digital camera?

 

[ ... I should also point out that the focus ring on all Zuiko lenses is

electronic -- you're not manually moving lens elements, you're telling the

camera's brain to do it. The kit lens doesn't show you the current focus

distance on it, which can be a bit frustrating... ] Does this mean that we

cannot set the aperture manually through the lens itself especially if it is a

macro Zuiko lens?

 

Thank you so much for all your esteemed comments.

Dear Vid and Anthony. Thank you so much for your comments but as a beginner I am sorry to say that I do not know what do you mean exactly by saying extension tubes or tubes? Could you guide me to a web site which explains photography terminologies? Thanks for help.

I am not sure if the lens [Takumar-A Zoom 1:4 70-200mm MACRO] would fit

perfectly on my old Pentax ME. I will cost me around $65.00 US with its

plastic lens's cover and its holding leather bag. I hope that you can possibly

comment on this price. I want to use it in the MACRO photography but I cannot

find any guide or manual for it. Could you possibly advice me on its current

price, its abilities in capturing MACRO photos, and where could I find a

manual for this lens? Thank you so much for your help.<div></div>

I had scratched the Matte Focusing Screen of my Pentax ME while I

was doing some deep cleaning. I did not know that it is so sensitive

to scratches and it can be scratched easily. I am really afraid and

depressed that it mas cause problems for the quality of my coming

photos. I do not know if I can replace it or clean the scratches

that make the view through the finder not clear. Thanks for any ways

to get rid of that problem and your recommendations and precautions

will be appreciated.

I have got the lens (Cosina Lens 80-200mm F1/4) for my old Pentax ME

but I still not sure in what kind of photos could I use it. Could I

get good telephoto, portrait, and macro photos by using this kind of

lenses or its use is limit to specific kind of photos?

 

Thanks for help.
