you see through the viewfinder how it would be on the sensor/film.
that's only half true though because you see 98%ofthe sensor, that is because if you want to have a 100% viewfinder it needs to be so precise that the price will be much more.

f-stop is also called focal ratio.
It's the ratio between the focal length and the diameter of the entrance pupil (aperture).
finally something that's easy to explain

I've no idea what you mean with your last post but the ones sizes are based on fullframe cameras so you need to crop it with every lens, make for digital or not.
The only thing that truly change is the angle of view everything else stays the same (focal lenght, dof, etc.) regardless of what kind of fullframe or digital camera you put it.
The APS-C sensor is smaller then normall 35mm film so that's why the angle of view changes.
We say that 18mm on digital becomes a 27mm on fullframe because the angle of views are the same for both and since that determents how big the subjust is relative to the film/sensor.
I hope you understand that, since it's quite hard to explain it.

Here play with this and decide for yourself link
On the end do you mean a 18mm on fullframe comapred to 18mm on APS-C, then yes you will sure notice a diference.

Thank you all for your great advice, certainly Ken & Mike.
Since it is on a market I'm sure that people have other things to do then to pose for the camera. I might ask if I've the courage, i'm almost sure most will pose but after that they will go on with their thing and then i can get some candids, hopefully this works...
I really hate being at the center of attension
If someone have some photos taken at a market, please show them so that I can get some ideas on how and what. pictures say more then a thousands words they say so that would be helpfull.
I'm going to try everything out and I'm quite sure I'll have more questions afterwards since I'm going to Brussel the sunday after that

Thank you Pete, I take all the lenses with me except the 18-55 since i'm going to the port of Antwerpen also. If it doesn't work I can always switch lenses.
If it isn't that busy (it's going to rain afterall) i should be able to take more distance without people walking infront of me, that was my main concern with using a tele lens.

Maybe Barrie, the problem is that I'm not alone on the market so i don't know if i can take enough distance so that he doesn't notice me.
Don't take shooting from the waist too serious, I would take some shots like that and then bring it up to my eyes to make sure i can frame the shot perfectly. I've 8GB card and a 2GB so I can make some shots
btw I prefer primes but if you think that really isn't an option I need to lay myself by it
To be honest John I'm thinking of selling the lens, it just doesn't fit me.
It's also going to rain this sunday so don't think that f/5.6 is good enough

Wonderfull shot Amin
I love the way his wing catch the sun on the edge.
In photoshop you can make his body what lighter by playing with the curves, you can set that tool even as layer so you can toggle it off and on and play with it as much as you like. Keep it subtle though since like I said "I love the way his wings catch the sun".

Hello fellow members,
Sunday I'm going to Antwerp and they have a market there during the time I'm there and I would like to take some photos but I've no idea how to do it so please help me.
You can see my kit on the bottom of this message so give me a suggestion, I myself was thinking on using the DA 40mm Ltd and shooting from my chest since everyone notice a camera when it is to your eyes and I want some candid shots.

Not so good to be honest, still need to see my photos on the computer screen so can't really say more at this point.
In the begining i used the DA 40mm and it did went quite well but most weren't happy with us takening photos so i got a bit anoyed by it and used to 100mm to distance myself a bit and shot some "potraits".
Only did that for a few minute since we also went to the port.
it's quite amazing, you can just drive you car on it and just walk into the silos and such. I've make some nice shots there (hopefully) so you will get to see some of those for sure.
