You're a resilient one, aren't you?

The point they were making is quite simple really. Cameras were once (post-critacious) intended for photography. Technological advances allowed for extended...

Jorginho - just out of curiosity..

What kind of a weather photographer relies on the weather sealing of a camera + lens combo?

Every single one I've seen had a cover over the camera.. To keep the...

Wish i could partake in that slapping BB.
Sarcasm can be very elegant. You're just trolling.

Both Tim & Larry make an excellent point. Stick to your guns.

OP: Familiar with the term "Circular reference"?

He didn't elaborate (slow zooms) - so I'll take it as your personal oppinion.

What happens with 4/3 zooms when you need that shallow DOF? They get big. A 35-100 mm 2.8 zoom lens is...

Working people might recognize the below situation.
A lot of tasks, and so little time to complete them.

What to do? Prioritize (insert a "where-is-the-spoon?" kind of AHA)!

Based on what? Sales...

Morbidly unfunny Gionni.

Ntsan.

You mean the countless iterations of the 5X-200 mm zooms?
Correct - there are no 47-133 mm. lenses out there - why would you need them if the above cover more, and are "tried and tested...

Nd-filters. ND-freakin' filters. 2 stops. 4 stop. 8 stops. Variable ND-filters.

But no. Still...

Oi DPR's lads.

You really need to give that Bailey bottle a wipe ..
I was comparing the D7000 (RAW 200) vs the D5200, the Pentax K5IIS and a Rebel.

Focus just below the "neck" of the bottle.....

I'll help you spot a D600 if you get me into Old Trafford ;-)

In the mean time - what do you use for taking photographs?

Tkbslc .. King of the crisp, short comments. You crack me up.

Eh?

Sarcasm, hopefully.
