Since I started playing with this new 18-200 VR lens, I've seen
some strange things happening with photos that are 'backlit'.  
With or without the sunshade, with or without a filter on the
lens.

I've shot twice with 1600iso since i've got my D70s recently.
One time was with dark cloudy wheather and one time at night seeing
only neon and street lights.
In both cases the noise was very disturbing!  (When using film, the

The monopod I recently bought came with a threaded plastic cap on the
screw. It seemed a useful addition - keeping the threads protected and
protecting stuff that may come in contact with the screw during
transit.

    On February 26th, Sigma announced a bunch of lenses for the 4/3
system.  Well, here it is a quarter-year later and there doesn't seem to
be any more concrete information.  One guy on http://www.4-3system.com
says he's heard release dates ranging from May to July.  I talked to a

I'm considering buying a digital SLR, and I already have these lense
(Minolta 85/1.4, 50/1.4) from an old 700si film camera. Do these lenses
work well on any current digital cameras?
Cheers,

I have a Minolta 7D digital SLR.
When I use the camera after it has been idle for a couple of days or
more, the first photo I shoot usually doesn't take.    The shutter
fires and the camera automatically turns itself off.  The picture taken

The Sony at $1000 kit seems to fall in between Canon's D20/30 series ($1100
for D20 Kit, $$1500 for D30 Kit) and the Digital Rebel XT ($650 for kit
after deducting the current $100 rebate.
How does price/performance stack up?  Sony offers a better lens than the

Canon 20D.
I want a medium tele for product shots of suitcase sized objects.  I'm
looking for a wide aperture for shallow DOF. My EF 85mm f/1.8 USM tele
takes nice pictures, but it is just a bit too long for my cramped studio.

I recently purchased a Nikon 50mm 1.8 AF lens (used) for my D50. I am
guessing this lens was from the mid 80's (perhaps on a 4004?). Made in
Japan from the labels.
It seems to work well on the D50 and seemed to be a relative bargain. I

Is there any way to search ebay or other online camera "for sale"  for
serial numbers on camera bodies and lenses?

A upcoming lengthy holiday is going to stretch the two memory cards I have
for my 20D ( they're 1 gig each) and I'm tossing up between buying more
cards, or getting a small portable disk storage, maybe 40 gig. I reckon on
needing about 5 gig in total for my trip. I'm wondering if ...

With the $100 rebate, now may be a good time to buy a digital Rebel XT.   I
see you can buy it without a lens or for $85 more the 18-55 mm kit lens.  Is
the kit lens worth it (dpreview says it is not too good) and if not what
lens would you put the $85 savings towards?
