Canon makes the wonderful, silver ringed, efs 15-85. As good as your L, maybe better. It replaces the L on a crop cam. I don't know about the mount. That's why it's often better to stay with the big two. Not because they are better, but for lens selection and availability.
Good luck

Yes, it is my coworker’s wife.
Does she take pictures - not that I know of?
She owns a Nikon 3100
Wants to sell... then get a new dslr...
Asked why.. She wants better pictures.
Classic - own better be better!....?
Any links, thoughts, ideas to help change the
feminine mind on this?
Please post links to free classes, besides Utube..
- Or, give all
I will copy and keep for other new and asking
the same.
I'll post the basic “Go here” (I check posts Daily)
Just need to show her that it is not the camera that makes everything...
And I did not forget
AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II
Again- classic all better get better-
I have told them equipment does not make the better pic's
But.. well no offence to anyone - but that is not what the lady is thinking.
Ideas Welcome...

p.s. she wanted to ask $900 for her camera to get
the new one.

Thank you. That was Buster. He was supposed to be on the job as my partner, however he had his first of three knee surgeries beginning at the age of 2 years. He was an awesome dog, smartest dog I have ever been around, and an outstanding tracker. Buster loved kids, especially the little 3 year old girl who lives next to us. Six to twelve kids at a time would come to play with him in our yard. Grandmothers would bring their 2 & 3 year olds to have their picture taken with him, he went places no other dog was allowed to go (Buster was a rock star here in our little world). He ended up with two forms of arthritis in his back at six years old. At the age of 5 he had none at age 6 he had the back of a 13 year old dog. The vet said he's never seen anything like it in 35 years of practice. The next night Buster chased a rabbit in our yard and went down unable to use his hind legs. Won't bore you with the rest, except to say it was the hardest thing I have ever had to do.

C'mon, I know you have one (or more!). You know, that gadget you reach for from the toolbox that you really like because (why?), instead of another one that could do the job better.

I use mostly Photoshop CS5, and mine are (in order of over-reliance):

- Shadow/Highlight. This can do some mighty ugly dynamic compression! (I think it's one of the most overused by others besides me as well.) ;^|
- CMYK curves (mostly because of a print background). Yes, this is good stuff, and works wonders on skin tones, etc., but sometimes I forget it can't fix EVERYTHING!
- Unsharp Mask. I always have to try and set it to less than my eyes tell me I should.
- Brightness/Contrast. How destructive can you get?
- Magic Wand. Instead of the doggone pen tool I SHOULD be grabbing to clip out a background.

Okay? What are yours? Fess up! :)
