After all th weight, I find that I leave my BIG lens and Big Primes at home, Unless I KNOW I am having a Dedicated Photo Day. They my BIG Pelicans with Wheels come out.

I use my tamron 28-300 XR and it works great for parties, and Spur of the moment shots ;) (oh I also pack my 17-35 wide just in case)

All fits in a light shoulder bag and I just go out and have FUN.

Is this a good deal on a lens?

Its a canon 100-300 usm zoom lens, and I don't want to buy it right now but the guy is selling it for $100.

you get what you pay for with lenses (in most cases), so a wide-range telephoto zoom for 100 bucks? Hmmm yeah, might be ok at f8 or up but I dont' know about the rest.

Yeah I dunno right now, I'm not in desprate need of a telephoto, but its so cheap... I'd rather just save up for a f4 or a f2.8

300 f/2.8 is going to break your bank.

but it's so yummy

ment the 200 f/2.8

and its 1200 which isn't bad.

But in the future if i improve my skills, i've chosen to be a sports illustrated photographer, so ill need to buy this one day and go to sport venues (or at least rent one)

and a 1D Mark II

I think Sports Illustrated chooses YOU, not the other way around. I'd rather shoot the swimsuit issue instead of sports. :D

^True, But I have dreams dont I? :D

Actually while im taking nursing at langara, i plan to take photography as an ellective (once i get out of kwantlen...) /shakes fist

Can you take part time courses in photography there?

I'm not sure, but according to my friend they do have courses (hes in photojournalism). I'm going to go tommorow and talk to a counciller.

I heard that the photography courses are only for the students enrolled in the photography program.

Wait a minute, you're a male nurse?


LOL...that's awesome.

^ LOL

anyway, practice your photography so u can take pics of female nurses for us

Damn rights!

The best part is the guy to girl ratio.

I have a dilema... I don't know which way to go.

I've been looking through our list of available parts for my XT. Admittedly, our lenses are a little overpriced (and only by like 20 bucks anyways), but I know my employee discount greatly outweighs this price difference.

I don't know whether I want to get myself a 50mm f1.4 macro for 5XX.00 + discount, or if I want to get a 10-22mm EF-S for 1118.00 + discount.

Any ideas?

I know I want both, but I just don't know what order... :(

whats the macro range on the 50mm gopher?

And I suggest the 10-22mm, I've heard nothing but amazing things about those lens's.

^ i like the wonderful world of macro :p

esp if ure into creeepy crawlies

50mm is way too short to use for (live) creepy crawlies usually.

Canon has a f1.4 macro?

I don't think the super wide is worth it...

For macro lenses, do you have to turn on the macro mode or is it auto?

Macro lenses open up whole new worlds to explore. :)

A macro lens is just that, a macro lens. Some lenses that are advertised as macro really aren't, and I think some of those have a switch, but a macro lens doesn't have a switch.

So you said 50mm is too close. Would 60mm be enough or would it have to go to the 100mm (regarding Canon's)?
