Re: Photography Thread
I think you mean f/8 and be there, which is a quote attributed to Weegee, but I think there is a Rowell variation out there.

Re: Photography Thread
Had a few photography "firsts" over the weekend.
My first time playing around with some off-camera flash:

Re: Photography Thread
You might want to consider calibrating your monitor, there are kits available for that.
My new lens came in today, I can't wait to start shooting with it.

Re: Photography Thread
I've played with one, it's a great sharp lens for the money, if you don't need IS. In my opinion, it's really an outdoor lens. Not fast enough to give you great shutter speeds indoors. Also, for...

Re: Photography Thread
I think the 17-40 is where you want to be. There are a few other options like a Samyang 14mm f/2.8 which has gotten very good reviews or an old 17-35mm f/2.8L if you feel you really need 2.8, but my...

Re: Photography Thread
I think right around $35 including shipping and the adapter. I've started getting into these manual focus lenses because they're ridiculously cheap compared to AF ones.

Depends on the lens. Some 3rd party lenses are as good or better than their equivalents, others not so much. Tokina 11-16 is much loved by Canon crop shooters because no fast equivalent exists from...
