My 50mm 1.4 does amazing shots

Yeah, but I bet every time you use it, you think of the failure rate of the micro USM motor and pray to god it don't die after the next shot

X2, im terrified of buying that lens

where you got that for 400ttd? Have anymore for that price?
Btw, how old is yours?

DVSTT, you are a lil slow today

[DVSTT]

Steups, i just wondering. You have your pics on flickr?

[tdavies]

nah the 1.4 feels a lot more solid than the 1.8
plus the metal base and USM.
I have had it for a lil more than a year.
No problems so far, and this lens is on my cam most of the time
the rest of the time its the 24-105L

I just got my hands on a canon 50-200mm macro. Unfortunately, there is a crappy UV filter welded to the front element It has been put down for 12 years, so crossing my fingers it autofocuses... glass is amazingly immaculate without dust or fungus. Need to get a better tripod now to try out the macro.

On another note, I have found out the hard way not to place your expensive camera on a cheap plastic tripod. My crappy tripod broke during a paid christmas shoot, and my D90 fell to the ground after I slipped on my client's polished hardwood floors. The finder has no information display anymore, and my battery grip is broken, but it still shoots Had to finish the shoot with my D40.

I don't do flickr as most of the portraits I do are intimate family/baby stuff and I not looking to advertise, or put my client photos out in the public eye.. I not going to let some stranger beat down my price and have me in bad spirits during a shoot. Rather people who know what I do hire me and I can meet their expectations. I only show people what I took of my family/ my baby.

Another reason I stopped posting "purdy" pictures is because lanscapes bore me now. After reading Galen Rowel's life retrospective, instead of inspiring me, it clicked in my head that these people are very passionate about the environment, and I am not that big a conservationist. I am not passionate about it and my photos reflect that.

Here's some I took with the Tamron 70-300 SP USD lens... Quite good quality. Selling it though cause it's not what I need for long distance etc.

[pugboy]

you ever considered using separate focus button AF-on
instead of half press shutter ?

What? You confuse me lol. I had it in MF and shutter button half pressed and selected which AF point I wanted to focus on. Then just adjust the focus and the red dot lights when that point is in Focus.

[pugboy]

you mean you manually turned the focus ring on the lens with your left hand
or you mean you manually moved the focus/af point around ?

what I actually meant was
http://learningdslr.com/2011/01/how-and ... button-af/

[DVSTT]

Both. Moved focus point to the corner one first then manually focused

[DVSTT]

Good article, never used that before! Thank You!

[pugboy]

well you could've used the af-on button to set focus on that spot and once the bird you want in focus stays there you just move the camera to compose the rest of the shot
i started using this method last year, its quite a physical change to use and takes a while to learn

but I got accustomed to it and wouldnt go back to 1/2 shutter press

that pic is quite an interesting one with each parent and child sitting same way

[DVSTT]

I think is couples and not parent and child. There still in d yard up til dismorning actually.

[pugboy]

nah if it is the regular brown doves the pairs are parent/child in the pic
the young ones have the mottled colors
we have a lot of them nesting in our yard.
