wow! thanks! Yeah I looked at mish's shots, obviously a pro- which I am certainly not! That is why I asked him though. I remember when I bought my Canon (it is an EOS) I got advice from a photographer to buy that camera, it was not the most expensive but I agree now with the advice I got that it is one of the best.
The lenses I am talking about above will fit on either the Canon 35mm cameras or the Canon Digital cameras. And one thing about magnification, if you put a 400mm lens on a digital camera, due to the CCD size, you actually get in the neighborhood of 650mm with no loss in f-stop which normally occurs when putting doublers or such things on your 35mm camera. There are other lenses such as 400mm f2.8’s, 500mm f4’s yada yada yada. Anyway, maybe I blew you out of the water, or maybe I just whet your appetite, but let me know if you have anymore questions or if I can help in any other way. Oh, the top of the line Canon digital camera body goes for around $5,000.00 and the 100mm macro lens I mentioned earlier is going for around $600.00 now.
OK- this tells me all I need to know. Wait for the canon digital camera to come down to say $1000 or lower and keep my lenses. And this is incredible- if you put a 400mm lens on a digital camera, due to the CCD size, you actually get in the neighborhood of 650mm
My 300mm canon lens is all I'm willing to take with me hiking, but when trying to get McCaws and other birds it isn't enough.
BTW Grace knows photography too. |
