really i wanted to get what we could call a 'general' lens... having said that she wont be doing much landscapre photography (although i doubt 17m really qualifies at wide angle on a cropped body anyway), if any at all, mostly street photography, nature close ups (flowers, still life and the...

one other thought springs to mind... how about the 24-70 f2.8l? surely you get the best of both with only an equivalent 11mm loss at the bottom and a 24mm gain at the top? any thoughts? a i way off the mark here?

thanks for the replies folks. needless to say im clueless about cameras and canon lenses. i still use an olympus om-1 :lol: but i do have a panasonic digital, which i cant use to save my life! one last question as a matter of interest. supposing shes only interested in photos (not video)...

vignetting? the plot doth thicken. anyone else had this problem with the lens, as its the first ive heard of it? to quote: '1) Light falloff (vignetting) is a HUGE problem, not just in the corners but even along the edges. It's definitely very noticeable in the images, especially those with...

yeah i had a sneaking suspicion that might be the case, though at the moment she has a cropped body. sadly i cant afford the gucci stuff for the forseeable future. out of interest would a third party lens be a good solution? obviously image quality is a must, so im looking for a very good...

thanks alot guys, that pretty much makes up my mind for me :lol:

hi folks, havent posted for a long time, so just popping in with a question. ive taken the plunge and forked out for a dslr for laura, and decided against the kit lens in favour of something better. the two im split between are the canon 17-55mm f2.8 and the 17-40mm f4.0L. given theres...

out of interest has anyone tried ilford sfx 200 b/w film? and what did you think of the results?

were currently sorting through my grandparents house as my grandma died quite recently sadly :( as soon as im able to ill get some photos uploaded though (though there are literally thousands to choose from). thanks for the link david ill get in touch and see if they can help me :) joel

thanks for all the replies folks :) as it happens i was looking at sq bodies earlier on. having said that the rotating back on the rz is pretty tempting over 6x6 as i guess i can always crop photos. going to have to have a long think about this i reckon. any links which have good info...

ok so im a total novice, not really a photographer id say (thats the mrs' thing) though i would like to look into shooting medium format. ive done a little reading up here and over the net, thing is i have no real idea about brands other than flash guys saying they use rollei 6000s and so on...

hi there,this is a long shot im guessing but worth trying... at the moment im doing our family history (history rather than just the tree) and as it happens my granddad and his brother were keen photographers. granddad was also a photographic technician at kodak, i believe he was responsible...

that does help a lot guys thanks :) i think i may have some of some of these things around that my granddad left. theres certainly a lot there (see my other post). joel :)

i live in aylesbury, bucks. ive found some decent links going through some of the posts here. what i was really interested in is having 6x6 developed as i may upgrade in the very near future. peak imaging seems good from their site and various comments here, but i wondered how good people...

ill probably be hitting the boot sales too this year, and looking out for any old om system lenses (ok not any old - need to be good ones hehe ;)). theres always a bargain to be had with film, as theres plenty of people who got a good camera 'back in the day' for decent snap-shots or a passing...
