Okay, I realise it's hardly clash of the titans, but which of these
is the better?  I refer to the Nikkor G (not the ED), and I'm not 100%
sure if it's the Sigma Macro APO or the Sigma Macro Super DL (or
whatever).  Opinions on either would be good. Here in S.Africa

Ok, I'm confused now...
I'd like to buy a 20D or 350D/Rebel XT, and I want the 18-55 IS EF-S

Guess what jerk.  Comcast is blocking all but the first copy of each

they do, expect prosecution.
BTW, adding references to threads in these newsgroups was a big mistake.  It

The folks on another board said you guys might know about this--any info.

Just purchased this unit, and am *very* pleased with it thus far, but I
notice that on subjects that are 15' or closer the auto flash really
overexposes the picture (subjects), even when setting the flash exposure
compensation as low as it goes. I've tried the various modes, but ...

I'm new to the world of SLR's and such,  my first digital camera is now
about 5 years old, and has died, so I want to replace it!

Are the depth of field markers on a 35mm film lens correct when the lens is
used on a DSLR with a 1.6x magnification factor?
