I'm new to Photo.net and am interested in wildlife photography, mainly birds.
I started my digital photography with a Canon Rebel XT and a EF70-300mm lens. I have an EOS 20D, 40D, 50D and a 5D Mk.II, plus my trusty Powershot G10. I also have an EF 28-80mm f3.5-5.6 II, 2 EF-S 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 II's and 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 L IS (=Canon Extender EF 1.4x).
For years I used the Pentax Spotmatic F and sometimes use Super Takumar/Takumar 50mm f1.8 and f1.4, 105mm/135mm f2.8 scew lenses on my Canon. Using these lenses in Manual mode is still a work in progress.
Two weeks ago I picked up a Silver Rebel XTi for $35, plus an EF-S 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 II and an EF-S 55-250mm f4-5.6 IS (totalling $86). I am quite pleased as the XTi has a fairly low shutter count. After cleaning the sensor, it took beautiful shots, despite my being so shaky.
