See 2nd hand Carl Zeiss 50mm 1.4 in ebay as well as in Jessops next to my
flat...
Jessops sells it at 190pounds. I have a Canon 300D but have just got a kit
lense. Should I go for a 2nd hand Carl Zeiss or the famous cheap and

Has anyone had this problem and cured it?  I can think of a lot of things to
_try_, but would like to hear from someone who has had it and fixed it.
A little more detail - the printer will streak prints I make on glossy photo
paper.  If I make the same prints on regular copier paper ...

The users manual for this camera is almost useless!
It says the camera has 3 metering modes but doesn't say how to change
them!
Someone needs to explain to Canon how to write a users manual!

On auto programme mode does anyone have problems focussing on the centre

Does anyone have an opinion on what German internet store to use and not to
use when it comes to buying a new Canon EOS 20D? I find pretty nice prices
at www.technikdirekt.de but I have no experience with them as a dealer.

I tried putting the extension tube from my 55mm macro lens on my regular
80~200mm tele.  As far as the viewfinder sees it the idea works.  Any
thoughts on using this as a macro setup?  It's getting dark out, but I may
give this a try on some flowers tomorrow.

better idea...anyway...
Does anyone have a number for the average amount of 4X6 prints that you

Just got my new D70S with the kit lens, and am very happy with the camera .
It does everything I hoped it would do and more .
I'm using the camera for shooting mostly car racing and certainly need some
"more lens !"

Brit magazine.
The Super CCD sensor is the best sensor type
out there, according to them.  They compared it
to everything else including full frame Canon,

Just came back from a 2-week vacation. I had 3 GB of SD storage (for a 6 MP
dSLR) and was constantly afraid of running out of storage such that I did
not always store at the best quality. I did manage to fill up all that 3 GB.
My question is the current state of portable storage ...

I am in need of some guidence/direction and information. I have been asked
(for the first time) to photograph a dinner/award recognition ceremony.
