    is it possible that your hand dont shake?

    hahaha. don't worry TS, everyone is susceptible to handshake one way or another. its not a question of whether there is or isnt handshake, but a question of how much handshake.

    50D or 40D?

    thanks, but your asking me to guess so much without giving a helpful answer. yes the body commands the lens to clap, but does a 50D make the AF speed and accuracy faster than a 40D? that's my question ...

    Problem - Canon 450d cant AF sometimes

    there are minimum AF focusing distances from your object. so if your lens is too near, its perfectly normal that it can't focus. if you really need to focus at such a close distance, use your MF. also, ensure that you are focusing on something with contrast. if your focusing on lets say a...

    50D or 40D?

    hmm, is AF speed/accuracy dependent on your camera body? i thought it was suppose to be dependent on the lens u use?

    Hoya HD Filter - UV or Protector???

    well what size filters are u looking at? not sure bout u, but for filters i tend to spend it accordingly to the cost of the lens; lens more expensive, use a better filter. no point using a filter which will affect IQ of a lens which give gd IQ. decide for yourself whether u need a filter, we...

    Filter question

    why would u like to have a CPL and ND filter? ... please note its different from a UV filter, it's not an upgrade of any kind just because they are more expensive. so to answer, no the CPL and ND8 is NOT an 'everyday filter' to replace the UV, because they serve a different purpose ...

    A reminder to all newbies to check used lenses thoroughly before purchase

    wow what a thread. i personally think there's always this risk in the BnS section. if you're someone who really wanna play it save, then maybe u shud juz pay a few hunred dollars more for the peace of mind (and often for that full warranty). i think a huge majority of the deals that go on here...

    Problem when shooting flowers

    erm what do you mean by laser like effect? the reason why the details of the petals disappear is because you used a shallow DOF, and i think your focus is on that bud sticking out. from what i can see, that bud is pretty sharp and in focus. second problem is probably handshake. 1/15 is a...

    Tamron 17-50 soft on my 450D?

    well, who said u can't use it most of the time? as shown, it's still very sharp at f2.8, and can definitely be used most of the time. also, its especially useful in low light situations. if u really wanna peep and really go into fine details, then of course the ideal sweet spot for this lens is...

    50D or 40D?

    silent shutter? which camera has a silent shutter? as for is it worth for all those, it really depends on you. many have already commented on this before, and simply from what i read, most said its not worth an upgrade from 40D, but definitely worth a buy from xxxD series or anything before 40D ...

    Tamron 17-50 soft on my 450D?

    not exactly sure about calibration too, need someone else to clarify for us. the thing is that i don't think there's a focusing problem with your lens, and thus calibrating it may not improve sharpness. u can of course do so for a peace of mind. don't know the address, all i know is that it...
