However, I welcome you to read the following regardless of your photographic experience or level, because it will eventually make sense to you. Be sure to check my other articles, as I will be covering apertures and Depth Of Field terminology for basic users in the future.

There is still a large population of 35mm users shooting in the photographic world. With Canon’s 5D announcement, the digital enticement is certainly going to be hard to resist. Will film users convert? Full-Frame DSLR Now Within Reach Originally, a DSLR would cost around $7,000 for a full-frame shooter. Canon’s 1Ds series was the only choice and it was an expensive one.

Canon has gone an interesting route by creating a full-frame...

Goodwill, Good Stuff This is another secret some of us photographers use as a resource, and I probably shouldn’t be mentioning it here for the fact I’m going to have competition when I cruise the aisles of my local Goodwill store. But that’s ok. When I purchased my Nikon D100 back in the summer of 2002, I didn’t have many lenses. In fact, I had none. I had a 50mm f/1.4 lens on the way, and an AF-S 80-200mm in transit, but that...
