<p>D300 with 70-300 lens. Crop format is good for nature work and the zoom covers the focal lengths I use most often.</p>

<p>I find that everything works well if you just leave it alone. You should be able to take a raw file, adjust only the contrast and brightness, and then print it without a color cast. Lightroom defaults to "as shot" white balance. I seldom mess with the color temperature and I have calibrated nothing for my inkjet. Maybe you have a colorspace mismatch in your software/printer or a wrong white balance set in your camera. Are you adjusting color on your screen? If so, try printing something unadjusted.</p>

<p>If you are stuck with an expensive battery of 645 lenses, this could prove to be a bargain whether you need medium format or not.</p>

<p>I think that if you get some big lenses, camera size will not be much of a factor.</p>

<p>Wow. I just received an email from someone who got a virus here and seemed rather hot about it. But it sounds to me as if there is something of a crisis in this area. I hope things get better. I am going to look into a couple of things that Bob mentioned. I guess the main impact will be that I visit this site less often and pay more attention to this particular forum. Thanks guys. I really appreciate it. Oh, someone wanted to know what I have been getting. It's spyware, Trojans, cookies. A lot of it came from the forums I visit.</p>

<p>My internet security software has blocked this site multiple times. I have been picking up viruses and lots of obnoxious crud. Every time I visit, I need a scan. I often pick up around a dozen items. This seems like a crass way to treat subscribers to me. It is not polite to send people here to view my images when I know their computer will get whacked. I guess my question is, can or will photonet clean up its act or should I just forget about it and move on? I am growing weary of this.</p>

<p>Looks to me like you answered your own question. In addition to the 14-24mm, add a 50mm prime used for very little outlay. Small, light, and f1.8. That should give you pretty good coverage.</p>

<p>Learn to shoot both using various focal lengths. Anything worth shooting at all is worth exploring a bit. And don't be afraid of cropping a horizontal from a vertical. If you have a 12mp camera, 4mp is more than enough for the screen.</p>

<p>With digital, using a good body is equivalent to using good film in the old days. Get a 14 bit camera with weather sealing =D300s. Look for a used bargain tele. My wildlife lens is a 600mm manual focus from the 1980's.</p>
