All understood but I'm keen on travelling light this holiday, as I'm planning on doing some shopping. Maybe on a future trip.  Besides, I don't think I could do Rome justice with the SD14...With...

Its simply not practical to carry it round my neck when I'm lugging two bags around as well. I bought a large suitcase for the hold and a cabin bag for taking on board the plane yesterday. ...

For a while now my boss at work has been moaning that I should take a holiday as I haven't had one since I've worked for him, and I am the only one working there that hasn't. I have fancied a trip...

This is a total miscarriage of justice in my book because the Copyright of a work belongs solely to the Photographer, in this case John Alli, and no one else. A photographer can licence his work...

Thanks guys.  I still pop in here for a read every now and then but I rarely comment unless there is a thread I find interesting.  I am working full time now (early starts, job finish) and now...

I'm guessing you mean "auto-photo-therapy" because enjoying Scotland's scenery can certainly be therapeutic!

If you looking for close up filters, there are none better than the Canon 500D range.

I much prefer the more saturated colours produced by the SD1M...The sky colour in the DP1M image looks awful in comparison to the SD1M sky...The DP1M sky is way too cyan, the SD1M sky looks much...

Just FYI, there are several Nikon Micro Nikkor 200m f4 ED IF Ai-S lenses like mine going on ebay as we speak...One with the clamp on collar has a buy it now price of £257.59 (plus postage, from...

Rather than change the whole lens another option you may not have considered is to get yourself one or more Canon 500D close up lenses (they are available in various filter thread sizes to suit...

Yes, if the Contax N protocalls are known already then it should be easy to convert them to SA mount.

Pentax K (PK) and Nikon mounts also fit on the SA mount...the former without an adapter, the latter with one. There are at least two different adapter options for using Nikon mount lenses on the...

What makes you think noone uses C/Y lenses on Sigma cameras?..,I've been using them on my SD10 and SD14 for years!...and no, i don't use an adapter...i converted them to SA mount instead. :)'

With full time manual focus lenses I used to set my SD10 or SD14 to M mode and then set the aperture setting on the camera to the same as that on the lens, which gave great results but occasionally...

They probably weren't going by lpmm as they might have wrote and they were probably being overly simplistic and simply going by the spacial resolution instead (as testers have virtually always done...

I wouldn't worry because the sigmacumlaude mount swap only takes a couple of mins to fit and its a fully reversible swap...Simply keep your SA mounting plate in a safe place so you can swap back...

I wouldn't be...The bottom one (prime) is noticeably a much better performer at the extremes of frame and it has virtually no CA...The top one (zoom) has really poor edge performance and suffers...

That's easy..The EF 200mm f1.8 L!  It is the ultimate street photography/long portrait lens. I could never afford one of those babies though so given a second choice it would have to the Canon MP-E...

If you love shallow DOF in general/portrait photography, not just in macros, then you can forget all the lenses you have listed above...In fact, you can probably forget any lens of...

Or, the right one could be a downsized D800 image, which would throw away enough detail to explain this result.
