    50mm primes - convince me!

    I don't use my 50 1.4 much, as it's easy to just leave a zoom lens on camera. But when I do make the effort to use it, I'm glad I did. Great quality, and I like small DOF.

    Battle of the lens

    Only used the canon - a great quality lens. But very heavy Sorry I haven't tried the other so can't compare.

    Canon EOS 3

    Looks like a good price, but I have an eos 30 and it hasn't seen light of day since I had a digital slr. I would think if your prepared to run the cost of getting film developed. 36 shots isnt much ! ;)

    Of course, if you can find a great quality lens 2nd hand it's a great buy. But most of the time you will not know how it has been treated.

    photographing food-how to???

    Lights could be the best option, and editing will help as shown above. But you can get a much better image out of the camera if you adjust your exposure compensation 1 of 2 stops up. This is required because the main part of the image is White. camera meters always assume an average of grey...
