it was the drugs!   Tdolph

No, the computer down here in the DPReview dungeon does not have a spell checker.   I will ask the guard if anything can be done about that.   TEedlph

as far as most of us care.   I mean unless you are shooting video, who wants a Super Zoom camera anyway?   TEdolph

I would not go on a trip of a lifetime with a brand new camera.   I would take something that I was comfortable with.   tEdolph

Now, that is what matters.    What difference does it make if someone thinks it only takes a few hours to learn the basic concepts of photography and someone else thinks it takes about four months...

I usually fix that in PP.   Which photo did I miss?   Anyway, why the ad hominem attack?   All I did was ask a question.   Honestly, the amount of hate I see in this Forum is depressing.   At some...

Well, that explains a lot.   Tedolph

And that is why when you get down to it the Beattles really were not very good.  Simplistic arrangements and poor vocals.   The Doors, musically were much better.     Er, yes.........   what did...

why would you even ask this question?   Photo's from these lenses will not look similar at all.   The depth compression effects will be completely different.     TEdolph

but be careful with flare with a polarizer. small, light, reasonably fast, good general use focal length and  when stopped down a bit good optical performance.  Cheap...

Is that what "learning" is?   Is retention part of "learning"?   Not likely?   How about "impossible".   TEdolph

600mm effective focal lenght (35mm Field of View) is a lot of lens to hand hold.   Do you have a tripod/monopod? Does it have a tripod/monopod collar? Do you really need 600mm FOV?   There are lots...

Just wait 'till you see the Samyang 8.5mm lens.   TEdolph

What about White Ballance?   If you are going to shoot JPEG (most beginners will) you gotta teach 'em how to do a manual WB, no?   Tedolph

Neurological defect?   Me too.   Got any ideas?   I think with digital everybody has to be able to do a manual WB.  Just like in the film days ev erybody had to know when to use tungsten film or...

pull out of?       TEdolph

Now I am really confused.   Tedolph

not really, just arguing in the alternative. Anyway, those are not the features that cause confusion. TEdolph
