Well I have no choice with it being my only lens at the moment (that’s changing in a few months time when my birthday comes around), the weight is fine even with it being hefty for a 50 at 500g. It should be wide enough for certain scenes, it’s surpising how wide 50mm is on FF, totally different...
I love the one of Llandudno Pier, A_Cro :) I’m going to wales for a week starting on sunday and we’re right near Llandudno so I’ll make a trip down there, I have a 10 stop too so I’m planning on doing some long exposures which is something I’ve not done in a while. I’m also wondering is 50mm is...
Yes, that’s the AF-D version, so it doesn’t have the autofocus motor that the others you’re looking at have, that means that it won’t autofocus on your D3000 also.
I've never used a UV filter, they're next to useless of digital sensors and can actually make the image softer, as for the all round lens I recommended that because it's suited to his needs, a beginner isn't going to be doing any pixel peeping after all.
Just to show what the CPL does for car stuff I have this shot from a week ago, see how the windscreen is transparent instead of glared and the colour of the car is deeper-

Yeah the 18-200 will give you a good range, from quite wide to telephoto, it’ll cover all the bases.
That’ll be a 58mm filter thread one for the kit lens won’t it? :)
No it’d be far too wide for that unfortunately, you’d need something like Canon’s 55-250mm for that stuff. When I first started out I went from the kit lens to a telephoto (a 55-200mm Nikon) because I shot some Motorsport and Nature stuff, then I got a fast prime (35mm F1.8). So you could get...
I'd get the 10-20 first of all, for what you've said it'll be used for that lens is great, it'll be really wide and for car show shots it's quite a nice effect with the distortion. Also, for the car stuff I strongly recommend a CPL filter, this allows you to turn the little ring on the filter...
I'd say:
40mm Micro: £160
70-300mm: £280
D60+Card: £160
18-55mm: £40
55-200mm: £70
The other items can either be sold off cheap or chucked in with the other items as a deal sealer with the buyer if they try to haggle the price.
Cheers, it looked awesome that EP3! If he ever wants any more photos taking of it then get in touch with me :)
It was a good day, the previous 2 years that I’ve been seem to have had bigger crowds but thr show and shine bit this year was much larger.
Yeah that M3 got black flagged yet he...
I family member was in a similar situation a few months ago and I found this for them - http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0074JZXU2/?tag=cliospnet01-21 - It’s good enough for a compact, and simple to use. From reviews I see the Canon Powershots are always a good option, there are a few within this...
Just some photos from Modified Live on Saturday at Oulton Park.

Bokeh can differ from body to body, I noticed a difference a good while ago when I switched from my D40 to a D5100, and again when I switched from a D7000 to 5D2. So there probably will be a difference :)
I couldn’t guarantee that seems as I’ve not used either camera, it depends on what you shoot. I shoot a lot of general things with some motorsport thrown in so it’s fine for me, but if you need those longer focal lengths then crop is advantageous.
Just have a surf on Flickr through some photos...
Yeah, I mean the lenses that you will see the biggest difference with are your fixed aperture 24-70’s etc, the focal lengths are given new purposes too. As is mentioned above, it is expensive to do but luckily my choice to go with Canon when going full frame is a good one when you consider the...
