off topic, but how to get an eQuote? noob so be nice. btw, bought my 50mm1.4 at main branch. he was a big guy. i asked him which is better 50mm f/.4 or 85mm.1.8 since they have the same price. his answer was great, "up to you." :)

actually i knew 7D was coming but i doubted 50D would drop because of nikon's d90 which is a mid range slr competition. 50d is supposedly a semi pro. nikon's 18-105 kit was and still 1700 and i bought my 50D at 1850 without lcd protector and UV filter last september. primarily i was looking for...

i think being a 1993 model is a good thing. it should be stable http://www.dpreview.com/lensreviews/canon_50_1p4_c16/ states based on the 1971 fd 50mm1.4

y depends on what model of camera and flash

well, i should this ... but my habit is to walk towards the subject also, thinking i am avoiding confrontation and conflict ... like the first rule of boxing, "protect yourself at all times", perhaps it is just instinct i guess should definitely try estimating the 8 meters (or whatever) gap...

that is just my point bro ... this should be the dialog: PRETTY: hey! what the ?!? YOU: sorry to bother. can't help but admire. would it be trouble? PRETTY: not at all ... (could even blush) in contrast to: AVERAGE: hey! YOU: sorry to bother. can't help but admire...

i shoot with a 50mm 1.4 with 50D, and at night time I could pump the ISO up to 1600 ... the main problem would be on focusing ... 1.4 is micro USM ... I used to shoot with AI SERVO, now shooting with AI FOCUS because i don't think i know how to use AI SERVO usually it is the subject and...

In my perception, the best subjects would be chicks for being pretty or kids for being cute. Imagine yourself taking a picture of somebody ugly. then he or she approaches and asks, "what is the big idea?" save yourself from lying, shoot chicks :devil: rrrrrr heppy new year everyone!

#1 was actually nervous after taking this one #2 more on: http://picasaweb.google.com/staticinheritance/Xmas2009Orchard#

would this radio trigger be OK? anybody who could share experience? Newest PT04III Dual Flash Trigger http://www.artworkfoto.com/wireless_trigger.html

if can afford, then why not? i think 15-85mm would be the best lens to start too. the only con i can think of would be the weight ... go for it ... am also a noob, i have 50D.

for some reason, buying an expensive flash, i.e. 430ex II speedlite, and putting it in front of the camera doesn't appeal the bang for the buck for me. I was wondering if anybody can help me. I have this friend who has a radio trigger with two transmitters and using two 285-HV vivitars. I...
