You guys have given some great advice!  I'm learning so much!As I browse through different telescopes, I see different focal lengths (800mm, or 1100mm, etc).  Is this on the same scale as SLR...

Thanks!  This really helps!You mentioned an equatorial mount.  So this is something separate from the telescope itself?  Could it be something that we could add on down the road if we just got the...

My nine-year-old brother's birthday is coming up, and he desperately wants a telescope, so I've been trying to find one in the $100-$300 range (who knows, maybe I can get an even better one used...

I know this is a sort of general question, but I've lately had a real passion for improving the lighting of my wedding photography.  I always do well enough to please the client, but I've lately...

I'm finally starting to gel my on-camera flash to match the existing lighting, and I love the improvement I see in my images!  By now I can usually recognize when I need an orange gel for tungsten,...

That sounds good. As I think about it and look around, I'm leaning towards the Dell also.Anybody else know of any other factors I should consider before pulling the trigger?

That's great to hear. So just for clarification, you're saying that the calibrator included with the NEC at B&H should in fact work to calibrate non-NEC monitors? I just wanted to make sure I...

Thanks for the response, Pictus! Your response inspires two more questions.1.) The NEC doesn't appear to be an IPS, as far as I can tell. Do you think that's a factor to consider, since I'll be...

Thanks a lot for the info, guys. I've already read through most of those links, and have learned a lot!

I'm looking to buy a monitor and a calibrator to be used almost exclusively for image-editing. After quite a bit of research (and learning about 5,000 new things about monitors!), I've consulted...

I wasn't sure which forum to post this in, so forgive me if this thread is misplaced.I'm looking to buy a new monitor in the $450-$650 range (I'm also obtaining a calibrator) to be used primarily...

Thanks for the insights!I neglected to mention that we'll all have plenty of other back-up gear on hand (redundant flashes, camera bodies, etc). We're very big believers in back-ups and...

Thanks a lot for the help, Bob! I appreciate it!

Our wedding photography business is taking on a third photographer, and I've been charged with the task of deciding which lenses we would need to be able to do justice to three weddings in one day....

Thank you!I actually have a second question I just thought of. We have a photobooth client who would like us to print 2x6" film strips and then adhere those prints to a guestbook. The printers...

We're looking into getting a dye sub printer to be used primarily in a photo booth, so speed and economy are big factors. However, it would also really help us if the same printer could also print...

By the way, do any of you guys have sample images taken with these lenses? I'm eager to see just what kind of effects the fisheyes can produce!Thanks!

Thanks, guys! I'm going to look at those lenses. They seem to be right up my alley!

I'm a wedding photographer, and I already own the trinity of focal lengths (Canon 16-35L, 24-70L, and 70-200L), which I use on a full frame body. I've lately been considering adding a fisheye to...

Wonderful. I'll check it out. Thanks again!
