LOL... The best advice you ever gave to me sarg was to get a fast prime lens, in that case it was a 50mm for a crop.

Did the democrats not do the same thing?

You are so wrong, Florida is just about at the break even point, but of course you would not know that because you have never bothered to check your facts, New York in 2013 received about 9900 back per capita, so you are saying that if you and your wife filed jointly that you paid more than 20 grand in taxes?

Florida is a retirement state, so yes, we receive a lot of federal monies in the form of social security and Medicare, we still pay 99 cents on the dollar for every federal dollar we receive.

Yeah, so those billionaires down on Wall Street pay a lot of taxes and you brag about it as if you had something to do with it. New York is the financial capital of this country, there is a lot of money made there and consequently a lot of taxes paid on that money. The fact is that the average New Yorker does not contribute more than they receive back from the feds.

Good for the country how? Do you really believe that there is no disagreement there? Please post some specific examples of what you are talking about to see if others can come up with legitimate reasons that explain why Trump did what he did.

The Sky is falling, the sky is falling, the sky is falling, Rally!

Really, Obama's policies were antithetical to conservative values on many fronts and you jerks go to the race card so easily because you refuse to admit that there were honest disagreements with your beloved president. It is sad how dishonest liberals are.

Sure...

I am having a hard time understanding the crop ratio as you have explained it, angle of view is linear, I can understand that, for instance on a Canon 1.6 APS-C camera a 10mm lens is the same as a 16mm lens, but when it comes to an image's area everything is different, to enlarge an image from 10" to 20" in width, it will require 4X the print area 4 full original images will fit in the enlarged image, 2 across and 2 down, it is the same with the sensor, it is measured in area, not linear like the angle of view. As far as depth of field is concerned it is different because the angle of view, to get a picture of a face framed the same size using a 50mm lens on a cropped camera and a full frame camera you will have to get closer to the subject with the full frame making the DOF of the image smaller. I guess what I am having the biggest problem with in the above statement is that you have stated that a 24.2mp APS-C would have the same pixel density as a 36.3 full frame on a "pixels per square inch" I just don't see how that could be true when the area of the full frame sensor is more than twice the size of the crop camera sensor.

I hope that you understand that you purchased the wrong extender, the 2X extenders will only autofocus fast lenses, f/2.8's and f/4's. I have the same lens you have and use the 1.4 Extender III on it and it works very well, I track eagles and other birds in flight with no problems.

Really? Did the math on Canon and it comes out to 2.57 864mmsq/336mmsq. Nikon will be different as their smaller sensors are larger than Canon's but I am not so sure that they are that much larger. Canon's sensors for APS-C are 22.4x15mm according to their website. The full frame is 36x24mm. So the way I figure it is you have to determine the area of each sensor and divide the area of the smaller sensor into the area of the larger sensor to get the multiplier, maybe I am wrong but I don't think so. According to the way I figure it the 7D Mark II and the 5DS have a very similar pixel density with the 7DII slightly edging out the 5DS, the 80D has a significantly higher pixel density than the 5DS. But hey, I am a Canon shooter, never been interested in the math on the Nikons. I do know that I currently own the 5DS and used to own the 7DmkII and I am much happier with the IQ of the 5DS but I think that things other than pixel density are at play there.

No, it is not as simple as multiplying the pixels by 1.5. You have to figure the area of each sensor and then divide the area of the smaller sensor into the area of the larger sensor to get the multiplier that would answer your question.

I would take a serious look at the Sigma as well, unless you are a Canon or nothing guy.

Yup! It is hard to tell which is a bigger threat to our democracy, Trump's insistence on tougher libel laws or the dems and their media's insanity trying to destroy the president of the United States with lies and exaggerations.

Thanks guys, high speed shutter is slow on this camera when compared to the 7D Mark II but I think that the images come out crisper and with less noise. Pretty happy with it, I had a 7D mk II and got rid of it because I was not happy with the noise, may have been me not knowing how to get the most out of the camera but I am liking this camera much better.
