<p>Thank you both.<br>

Good shoot Novisto.<br>

I'm going to see the new models from sigma and tamron that JDM suggest.</p>

<p>Hi guys,<br>

I'm trying to expand my EOS 450D. For now I have only the 18-55 kit lenses.<br>

My former camera was a Pentax and I enjoyed a lot with a 70-300 from Tamron.<br>

Now I'm thinking that I want to repeat the experience with my new camera but I'm not clear about what 70-300 choose.<br>

These are the options:<br>

SIGMA<br>

AF 70-300/4-5.6 APO MACRO EOS (230 €)<br>

AF 70-300/4-5.6 DL MACRO EOS (155 €)<br>

TAMRON<br>

AF 70-300/4-5.6 DI EOS (155 €) --- This is the one that I owned for my former camera<br>

CANON<br>

EF 70-300/4-5.6 IS USM (490 €) --- Maybe very expensive for me<br>

EF 75-300/4-5.6 III (240 €)<br>

EF 75-300/4-5.6 III USM (280 €)<br>

Is very important the APO treatment?<br>

Are the Canon better lenses than the others?<br>

I'll try to post the kind of picture that I want to do.<br>

Thanks in advance and best reggards,<br>

<p>This evening I shoot my 450D for the first time and this are my feelings:<br>

1.- I'm the same kind of photographer (just a beginer).<br>

2.- The automatic modes in the canon are better than the pentax ones.<br>

3.- The pictures looks more natural in the canon than in the pentax.<br>

4.- The kit lens has more plastic in the canon but I think that image quality is better in canon too.<br>

5.- The feeling when you press the shooter is better too (smooth and without noise).<br>

6.- Indoor pictures using automatic modes are not a lot of red like in my old pentax.<br>

Thanks,<br>

Mariano<br>

P.D.: For Michael, I think that, for the moment, I have a more complex camera than I can manage.<br>

After all, I'm very pleased with my new camera and when I learn to use it I could pay atention only to the picture that I want to see in my computer.</p>

<p>Thanks to all of you.<br>

Your advices makes me feel two things:<br>

1.- Doesn't matter the system or the brand that you use (the most important thing is the photographer's eye).<br>

2.- The photo.net comunity is a real "free minds" comunity without influences of the main photographic brands.<br>

My way of thinking is sometimes different or you could call it special. After all I decide to own a 450D mainly because I think that I'm going to feel more confortable with this camera (Don't you ask me why).<br>

I'll hope the best shoots for all of you (and from time to time one good shoot for me).<br>

Thanks again,<br>

Mariano<br>

P.D.: I always shoot in raw and I process all my photos with Lightroom and for Bob, I'm not an advanced user like probably he is but I always read the manuals so I don't agree with his translation. </p>

<p>James,<br>

If I shoot my pentax in an automatic mode the results that I obtain are worse than the results that I obtain with a point and shoot camera.<br>

If I want to buy lenses with a smaller aperture than 2.8 they are very expensive. In the same range, for example, canon has cheaper lenses and better apertures.<br>

What about nikon?<br>

Thanks in advance,</p>

<p>Hi guys<br />I have been shootin with pentax for two years.<br />My equipment (pentax k110 D + 18 - 55 kit lenses, tamron 70-300 and a pentax 40 mm f2.8 limited) does not fulfill my criteria about photography and now is the moment to change it.<br />I'm in doubt about canon eos 450D (I dont know the USA name) or nikon D60.<br />I like to do portraits and landscapes mainly.<br />Could you give me some advice?<br />Thanks in advance and good shoots,<br>

Mariano</p>

<p>Guys the economy is important too.<br>

This is an example about my equipment project:<br>

Pentax:<br>

DA 21/2.8 495€<br>

DA 40/2.8 350 €<br>

FAD 50/2.8 macro 500 €<br>

DA WC 70/2.4 530 €<br>

Total 1.875 €<br>

Canon:<br>

EF 20/2.8 USM 485 €<br>

EF 35/2.0 265 €<br>

EF 50/2.5 Macro 285 €<br>

EF 85/1.8 USM 380 €<br>

Total: 1.415 €<br>

If I could obtain a good price for my former equipment, probably a wil do a good deal.<br>

Thanks,<br>

Mariano</p>

<p>Bob,<br>

When I use the camera indoor the color is not natural even if I change the white balance, outdoor is better than indoor.<br>

When I shoot in an automatic mode, I think that any compact camera do better.<br>

JDM,<br>

I like lenses with low f numbers and pentax hasn't this kind of lenes or they are very expensive.<br>

Thank you,<br>

<p>Hi guys<br>

I have been shootin with pentax for two years.<br>

My equipment (pentax k110 D + 18 - 55 kit lenses, tamron 70-300 and a pentax 40 mm f2.8 limited) does not fulfill my criteria about photography and now is the moment to change it.<br>

I'm in doubt about canon eos 450D (I dont know the USA name) or nikon D60.<br>

I like to do portraits and landscapes mainly.<br>

Could you give me some advice?<br>

Thanks in advance and good shoots,</p>

<p>Mariano</p>

Tank you Tom and Nick.

Nick, I'm exactly asking what you answer.

Do you know any similar lenses in any other firm (Tanrom, Sigma, ...)?

Good shoot for all of you!

Hi guys!

Surfing the net I saw some webs dedicated to Pentax lenses.

In one of this webs, talking about 35 mm cameras, they say that there are lenses with a special feature. This special

feature it's that the projection of the lenses over the film it's exactly of the same film's dimensions.

They say that this feature does that the picture looks natural.

In a DSLR Pentax, Is there any lenses that have the same feature?

Thanks.

Thanks to all of you.

It's the first time that I post a question to a forum. I'm very pleased to see that everybody try to help.

This weekend I'll try any portraits and I'm going to post it for your help.

Thanks again guys.

I'm having troubles mainly when I try indoor portraits.

I don't know If I have to use AF or MF function, also I don't know if what to choose about AF and AF function ?

Thanks

Hi guys,

My camera is a Pentax K110D. I'm also the owner of a Tanrom AF 70-300 1:4-5.6

and the Pentax 10-55 that mounts my camera when I bought it.

I would like to portrait my baby and I'm asking myself If my equipment is able to

do this.

I'm not having the results that I hope but this could be because I'm an absolute

beginer.

Anybody could gime any indication?

Thanks
