I'm not following you either... At B&H I see: 85mm f/1.4 G (D)____$669.95 100mm f/2,8 (macro)_$589.95 100mm f/2.8 (soft)__$609.95 135mm f/2.8 STF_____$999.95 ...
From my own experience, a cheap chest-pod is a very good alternative to IS, at least when using lenses of a reasonable weight. See my (almost ignored) post at ...
Hi everyone, Happy new year!! This is just a short question. Anyone familiar with Tokina 28-105 AF lens? I might get a chance to get one. Is it a good lens?...
It's better than sigma 28-80. Sigma has plastic lens mount. Tokina is more rugged and better optics. Dennis __________________________________________________ ...
And then you live in a country where they charge 10% and on top of that 20% for importing anything over $40 to all that you have to add some unknown sum of who...
Maybe one day you'll want to take the photo of a beautiful eye... Try to look for used macro. If you're on a tight budget get 100/2.0 or 135/2.8 if you'll find...
I've had two 600 series cameras display the HELP screen. Both times it cost me more than $100 to get it fixed, directly from Minolta. They replaced the...

Hi Oleg, had a look at the previous thread. Sounds interesting. What is the brand of your chest pod? About straps: I recall that when in the army, I was taught...
Hi ake, the chest-pod brand is "FIRST"; there are no details regarding country of origin or anything else. I have the monopod of the same brand - with the...
Yes, I am going to sell the flash also. I would like to get $145.00 for it. It has been used very little and is like new. Thanks for asking and Happy New Year,...
Do not know about the chest-pod (though perhaps worth inquiring about), but as about gun strap, perhaps it is useful technique for stationary shooting. I...

Yup. I love my friends 100/2, but for headshots it doesn't give me enough working distance. I.E. I dislike being close to the subject.. So I use a 70-210/4 and...
So would this be a good deal? It's at KEH for $275: 400 F5.6 TOKINA AT-X APO SD (72) *WITH CAPS (Excellent condition). This is one of the lenses some of you...
Well it's probably better than the 28-80 Minizoom Macro in all aspects.. But I doubt that it's better optically than the newer 28-80 Minizoom Macro HF. The new...
People would probably be upset by flash. So leave it at home. Use Fuji NPZ 800 or Superia 1600 pushed a stop. 3200 speed B&W would be good too. If you want B&W...
Dea I had one for a couple of months, on my Maxxum 5. The first one I got had to be returned because the diaphragm mechanism self-destructed after about 2 days...
It's not a bad lens. The Sigma APO TeleMacro is better though. I love mine and nope I won't sell it :). Personally I'd hold out for a Sigma to pop up, but it...
The concert again. I hope this year you'll get the photo pass. Use Press 800 or Superia 800. I used both at last MTB World Cup and the photos came out great. I...

Alex, I've gotten to shoot a few concerts (look under the 'Radio Station KYYS' section of my simple site). You'll want the 70-200/2.8 and some fairly fast ...
