Of the top of my head, the S means that the lens can be placed closer to the sensor and is cheaper to make, AFAIK it also uses less glass designed for the 1.6x crop, where by an EF will have the corner glass cropped off. McBunny, going to agree with ukaskew, I shoot with extremes as well...

EF-S lenses still use traditional focal lengths, an EF 18mm is the same as an EF-S 18mm, it just won't work on a full frame or 1.3x crop body... McBunny, I'd look at the Tamron 17-50 f/2.8, might be enough to cover your hole trip, save lens faffing on your honeymoon...

The Canon 10-22 is also a 77mm filter size and can be had for 420, although rebates have finished for now, got mine for 380..

Nearly there ;) the EX-25 means you can get even closer than normal.. A quick look reaveals that the E-system is a 2x crop, so on the Tamron website click the 35mm Film option and the 40-150 lens is a 80-300 if it was on a film camera, just to confuse you some more :P You will probably...

This will help a little but your camera uses a weird 3/4 system that I don't undertsand but this is how focal length works with Canons, Nikons and Full frame SLR's http://www.tamroneurope.com/flc.htm Olympus DIGITAL EX-25 Extension Tube, this will reduce your lens's closest focusing...

Re: FCS 07.. anyone buy these things? be an easy days work for me shooting cars and earning that much from each shot!

Re: FCS 07.. Is that a car bra?

Would be an excellent start, constant f/2.8 and nice and wide, tis a nice lens, AF is a little zippy but its well built and produces sharp pictures... The 50 is also a fun piece of cheap glass..

True, IQ between the whole range is hard to tell apart. If you want want 5fps, spot metering, better build quality, better focusing, better noise handling, ISO 3200, an extra LCD display on top, more controls, wheel navigation, a larger view finder and a bigger camera, then it is worlds better. :)

40D is a better prospect, bring on cheaper 30D's :D

Unless your willing to enter the world of film SLR, your going to need to boost the budget a little.... http://www.camerapricebuster.co.uk/ Nikon D50 + kit lens http://www.camerapricebuster.co.uk/prod20.html Canon 350D + kit lens http://www.camerapricebuster.co.uk/prod4.html Read...

AFAIK there are no wide primes that AF on the d40 if you want Nikon glass. Can't pick up budget gems like the 50 f/1.8.. Anywhoo I'm getting out of here before a fan boy argument starts... canon ftw... :clown:

-TA- great shots, liking the stuff on your website...

Any camera you can use in full Auto-mode will, helped by having an external flash, hefty set-up if your just on the town... Settings... Lens- those shots look wide, anything around 18mm Aperture- low f/number 2.2-4 Shutter- 1/30 slower, that last one is maybe 1/3 second Flash - err...

If you REALLY want to go DSLR I'd personally avoid the D40, unless your after a 1 lens setup and only want to buy AF-S lenses... http://www.camerapricebuster.co.uk/

Can I be a pain in the arse and throw digital noise handling into the 'more mega pixels' are better argument? Forget MP's, sensor size is where its at...

It was probably taken with the one that comes with the camera (18-55) and a tripod..

Don't worry I'll take his door off next time, bounce of into the head on whilst destroying as much gauze as possible ;) Probably wouldn't have gone on so much if the twunt hadn't left the scene, my humble apologies guess it was a 'you had to be there moment'..

Damn I'm good-ish :)

Yeah I'll admit, should have expected the un-expected. White16valver, some good advice, think I need to find a nice wet airfield to try it on first though :) FM-AVA-696, lol perhaps but the badge kind of covers the nice ding! AlexS was going from Knoll Beach (studland) towards the chain...

Hmmm no EXIF data but that's a big gap across the waters, so I think he might been using around 18mm. I'd say its a fairly slow exposure looking at the water and the blurry boat, so its probably on a tripod at a guess..

Thanks guys, I was lucky, glad I can joke about it, half a foot to the left and Id have probably failed in ploughing down a rather large tree. For a split second I'm sure I considered taking his door off! Rob's172 I'm a bit skint so its: Take off Bonnet Hammer T-Cut Done. :cry:

As said in other thread, its fiddly but a Grad ND system works best for landscape, or a tripod 2 exposures and lots of Photo shopping.. http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=224448

A Gradual Neutral Density filter system will help expose for the land and sky properly. e.g. http://www.cokin.com/ Is 18mm on the kit lens wide enough for you? If not the Sigma 10-20 and Canon 10-22's are fantastic if you like wiiiiide...

Keeping it short: coming home from work down the county lanes, it was wet and I was in 4th in the mid 40's. I'll freely admit I probably should have reduced to 30 but you don't expect the following. Coming out from a corner some muppet in an MX-5 was parked to the side, his door WIDE open into...

ouch that is a smash, just about post my crash from today :( nothing on yours though, glad everyone is ok...!

d40x has a limited range of lenses available, unless your happy to manual focus.

If your printing 6x4's I've found 1.2 MP to be plenty. You only need to use the larger resolutions if your printing bigger or cropping images... Saying that I always shoot at full resolution...
