Getting the most out of a long lens
Long lenses that focus close casn be very useful for pictures of flowers, small animals and birds. You don't have to restrict yourself to distant objects. The most important thing though is to use a tripod wherever possible. A 300mm lens is a 450mm-equivalent in film terms, and that's a long leng...

Getting the most out of a long lens
In good light you can hand hold the Tamron 70-300, I do! If it's a bit dodgy I just lean against a handy lamp/tree/house/car. When using the Macro switch you can focus down to just over 3ft, giving superb results like Out of interest, these lenses vary in quality results on different bodi...

Coming with 2 licens...

Viewing and Deleting Images with Silkypix
Hi Rob, Can't tell about silkypix - I'm not using it, but recently I started using irfan view (plus plugins to support RAW). It has a smart, simple browser, where you can see thumbnails and can quickly open pic to examine it in details, arrow keys to jump to the next/previous one, and del + enter...

lenses designed for digital
The DA 16-45 shows a little vignetting at 20mm, after that it is pretty good. Matt (matic) did some trials a couple of years back, the results were pretty good. It might be an idea to create a thread that shows DA lens performance on 35mm. I think we can rule out the 18-55 and the 50-200 as both ...

Stunningly for weddings he takes 200/300 shots in JPEG and provides these on a CD. I can only suppose he's cheap. Nice guy that's for sure but I'd have thought people expect far more than that.
