Actually its L ynching Others Leisurely ;)

I have a full keyboard on my phone too. ... lol

it really depends on how much ambient light youre working with. ambient light at noon, is a lot different than ambient light at 7pm. much like the light during summer months will be different than winter months. i dont think there is going to be any sort of defining ratio because of the...

17-40L One of the best IQ WA lenses on the market.

F/2.8 is a huge improvement over F/4 IS in regard to low light AF. Same with F/1.8, etc. Even if you're using a F/1.4 lens at F/4, autofocus is much faster and more precise. I think you need to actually use one for yourself before you fully understand just how beneficial it is. Same with "focus...

definitely the way to go. if youre going to buy a flash, you might as well buy a proper flash that will serve many purposes. but until youre ready for that, id go ahead and invest in a fast lens and be done with it. and it doesnt necessarily have to be 1.2. the 50mm f/1.8 is around...

yeah. shoot with a F1.2-1.8 lens. then you dont need a flash at all (if its that much of an inconvenience to carry a small waistpack with a flash in it)

adjusting power is as simple as pulling open the corner of the front diffusion panel. but i rarely ever have to make an adjustment. depending on the ambiant light, my flash is set between 1/8 and 1/4. everything else is done in camera. positioning is exactly the same as any other softbox or...

and if you need to get in any closer than that, i would highly suggest investing in a macro lens

there should be a mark on the lens that clearly states the minimum focusing distance. probably 1.5ft. with wider lenses (18mm) you can generally get in a little closer, though the 50mm primes will usually get you in relatively close. check the markings on your lens

i concur. the weight of the f/4 is very nice, and IQ is outstanding. ive seen side by side reviews that show the f/4 having superior IQ. either way you will not be disappointed.

i love my westcott apollo 28. i would love to get the 50", but i dont think it practical for the type of work i do. you will definitely not be disappointed.

i guarantee that is false. and if youd like to use your resources to stage a field test for your ridiculous theory, im sure you will find the same result. :D

thats only partially true. no camera takes good pictures. the person behind the camera takes good pictures. having an expensive camera, and no idea how to use it will produce crap compared to someone who knows what theyre doing with a poor quality camera. once you know what youre doing...
