Just got an EOS 10D, I planned to use my existing lenses, these are Sigma
28-135 and 70-300,  Because I had read about some compatibility issue with
Sigma lenses and the possibility of them needing re/chipping,  I contacted
Sigma UK with model and serial numbers and they ...

Okay, I have been playing around with Nikon's 10.5 mm fish-eye on the D70
for a few days now. My intention is to eventually use this lens to take
instructional photos inside the airplane, but meanwhile I have been
experimenting with interior shots and some scenics.

OK, so I've rtfm'd, and have an idea of the basics, but any tips on
the histogram?   I gather horizontal axis is brightness and vertical
is nr of pixels.  (Not actually described in the manual).  I suppose
you want the 'centroid' to be reasonably centred, and fairly well

This lens seems to be holding it's price.?
Anyone seen it sub $1000/£800 ?

Many of Canon's non-L grade zoom tele lenses, sometimes called consumer

are especially poorly rated at their longer focal length end (e.g. the 300mm
end of the 75-300mm zoom).  Ratings include statements ...

Is there a good source that will teach me how to get the best results from
my D70?  I keep hearing about "developing" the image in Photoshop
(unsharpening masks, etc.), and I'd love to know if there is a good step by
step primer out there.  I have PhotoShop, but only use it for ...

Hey Guys,
Was in Goa (India) over the last weekend. Shot a lot with my
Canon using two lenses:

When I ordered my D70 they were really pushing a 3 year warranty at about
$130.  I passed, but I still have 30 days to change my mind.  IMO it looks
like a lot of these warranties have many loopholes in them, including not
covering the lens.  Also, I get a one year warranty, and ...

I've heard a few reports about the images produced by the 20D being a
little soft. Can this be corrected by sharpening in Photoshop (I use
version 7)? If I've taken several hundred of images on a 20D can I
sharpen them quickly in batch mode? And finally will I only notice lack

I accidentally posted a newspaper column with an attachment to the group.
If you could delete this message I would appreciate it.  I'm hoping it won't
show just because of the attachment.
Thanks, and sorry.  Just a dumb mistake.

What I would like, ideally, is a slimline program that will open
a NEF file, let me adjust saturation of the red/green/blue channels,
contrast and white balance, crop and save as JPG.  I don't want my
images organized for me, or any auto-corrections.
