    how many lenses do you own and how many do you regularly use?

    with the d80 I've still only got the kit lens, but with my old canon film I have...: 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, 135mm, 200mm, 300mm and few zooms that i rarely used. Out of those, my most common lenses were the 35 and the 85. I wouldn't normally take anything else. I can't see myself chasing a new...

    Macbook

    The standard macbook has ditched the firewire... shame really. However the pro still has firewire 800. Also the white macbook retains firewire. I suspect this is because most users simply never use it. As for recommending, your PC seems a beefy spec, I'm using an almost 3 year old Macbook...

    Lens Swapping (Relentlessly)

    still only using my Kit lens as I havn't even upgraded to a nifty fifty yet.. this is mostly because i dont feel too limited by the kit, especially with the summer light coming in i find myself doing less dusk shots where the low aperture would be a problem. thinking about it, you may find that...

    Photoshopped images disquailified

    agreeing with the judges myself. although it makes for interesting imagery, it can be difficult to call it photography soemtimes.

    What was your first......

    Mine was also a Kodak, but i've forgotten its model number Was a Kodak Easyshare DX something or other. 3.2 mega pixels, but it took a really really good shot, especially compared to my new Casio 7mp thing. Infact you can still see some of the shots i took with it online (posts some links)...

    Which DSLR camera to buy?

    Try 2nd hand, I only reason I can think to avoid the D60 is the lack of an AF motor in the Body, so you need special lenses for it (and there seem to be a lack of such lenses... i think). the 400d is a good camera also. However check out 2nd hand, I don't know about Milton Keynes but theres a...

    Help picking first slr

    Indeed drop the Olympus purely because of future lenses, I'm sure the body is up to it but you have to look to the future. As for the cameras, is there much of a difference between the d60 and the 450D ? My only doubts about the D60 would be it's auto focusing (or lack of it), due to the way...

    Tiffs or jpegs?

    As above, jpegs degrade each time you resave them. TIFFS are much better if you want to edit your file in photoshop after tweaking it from the RAW file (editing such as clone stamping or other bits and pieces). Personally, I go through my raws, ditch the crap ones and then save as TIF. I then...

    HOLGA

    Does anyone know where I can buy a Holga 135 (35mm) in the UK? Either online or in a store - I live in London I've been chasing one for ages but the site I was going to purchase from is now out of stock, as is lomography.com. Has it been discontinued? I am tempted to get the medium format...
