don't get the D40. get the sony A200 http://www.camerapricebuster.co.uk/prod609.html you couls buy an extention tube or fit a close up lens. these reduce your minimum focus distance but you loose infinity focus

not that much TBH. its easy to rack up equipment if you spend money or list CF cards lol

I sold my 17-55 for £600 400D plus grip maybe £350-360 but best to check ebay for their prices. I sold all my stuff via POTN and talk photography no chance I'm paying ebay anything

shame about the orange cast on the lens . did you use a CP to counter affect the lens coating colours

vignetting wither cause of the lens or cause of photoshop.

same thing TBH

I like anthony's stuff, yours too dan. not big on Eastons stuff though

he gets his colours and contrast really nice which is what makes his shots look good.

and not a rig shot in sight lol

D40 is an old camera technology wise compared to the A200. lens wise you are not going to be lacking with the sony, you have a choice of over 70 lenses and they have flashes and accessories. TBH you should not even be considering the D40 in 2009.

not got a large enough aperture

smaller the hole the less light it lets in harder it is for the AF to focus

AFAIK the 18-105 is a pretty decent consumer lens with the 18-55 being worse. you could go down the route of a sigma 18-50mm f2.8 HSM lens and a 80-200 f2.8 nikkor.

100-400 L been out since 1998

screw in ones you want to get a multicoated one. hoya are a decent make. for square ones then cokin, lee or Kood are good enough.

only thing you have to remember about the 100-400 is its a slow aperture lens so in lowish light it can have problems focusing

more used for attaching to motion cameras than still's. 600mm with a 2x is significantly cheaper than the 1200mm f5.6. no IS on it either

5Dmk2 + 24-70 f2.8

I've got a couple that do 6x4's. they are ok but you are cheaper getting them done online in the long run. excluding the cost of the printer you are looking abour 15-20p a print for a6x4.

does no one read their manual these days

camera angle too low, don't really see much of the car or the background. be better off having the rig higher and having the car going straight. got the right amount of blur in the background.

I would actually give the 60mm a miss, you are going to get quite close to the subject. I had the canon efs-60 and it was not as good as the EF 100mm because you where so close to the subject.

the sigma 50mm won't but the 70-300 HSM will however both are not true macro lenses. sigma's true macro lenses are the 70mm, 105mm, 150mm, 180mm priced at £358, £333, £540, £680. the 70 and 105 won't autofocus on the D60 nikon make an AF-S 60mm for £300, 105mm for £580, 200mm for just...

not the newer IS version of the 18-55, the old one was utterly crap

over the D60 yes it is

hot pixels. try the cure which works on canons it may or not work on yours. take the lens off and switch the manual sensor cleaning system on so that the mirror lifts up. leave it like that for 2mins then switch off then on again. see if they are there. do they go away if you turn...

only got one, sigma 24-70 f2.8 HSM

? why lol

put lens can on and take the picture again say iso 1600 and a long exposure of 10s. turn off any noise reduction in the camera too. hot pixels will show up as red, purple, white etc on the black. what kind of camera do you have?

photography not my job lol I shoot for max power and golf+ mags
