In a current discussion of Tamron vs Nikon for a particular lens, no one mentioned intended print size as a decision factor. ???
If I never print larger than, say 8x10, isn't that a determinant in selecting a lens?

If you don't print larger than 8X10 the only lens consideration I can think of would be a macro vs. a non macro but I think you are referring more to lens quality rather than functionality and I'd say up to 8X10 there isn't going to be much difference in quality compared to price range assuming the 8X10 that is being printed is or is nearly the full frame of whatever camera is being used. If you are cropping away 50% or more of the photo and blowing up the center or other small portion of the photo to 8X10 than of course that gets into another whole consideration.

Makes me want to dig out my macro lens and go crawl around in the yard. ;) Great shot, thanks for sharing.

Tony Northrup's. "should you use full frame lenses on crop bodies" This video make it look like my lenses on junk on my crop body.
Well not if you are shooting wildlife. And then the other side of it is what kind of shooting do you usually do and what are you satisfied with. I have a full frame 35mm f/1.4 on a Canon crop sensor 50D and I'm happy with it. Would it work better on a full frame; probably so, but it does what I want it to so I get what I paid for. I think the important takeaway from the video is to know that the full frame lens will act differently on the crop sensor cameras both in field of view and in f stop.

dannac, some areas are really sharp but then others are not and I think that is what is taking away from the overall photo. There is quite a bit a play with shadows, maybe if the shadows were in the less sharp plane it would help emphasize the more sharper areas. Thanks for the post, it gives me something to think about in my own work.

It tamed the West
I had a Remington cap and ball like that in 44 caliber with an 8 inch barrel. I used to make my own bullets. It was a lot of fun to shoot and amazingly accurate. Thanks for the post. ;)

This is cool. Here are some shot from inside a cave in South Korea. These are the natural colors.

I am thinking about getting a flash for my 40D. I really want simple to start. Any suggestions?
Just my 2 cents, I use a Canon 430ex II on a 50D and it works well and I like to add that Yongnuo equipment is well made. I have a pair of Yongnuo wireless adapters for my 430ex II that double as wireless shutter release for the camera. Of course it depends how much power you think you need and how much money you want to spend.

Nick, the macro tricky because as the camera moves closer to the coin it shadows the room light and the built in camera flash is not at the right angle then when you shine a light from one side it is not even. If you haven't already done so, check out a flash ring for macro photography or try to improvise the same concept. Also as already mentioned, a tripod of a stand of some sore and a cable or wired shutter release will be a big help. I'm assuming you have a macro lens.

Thanks, that was really nice. I'm always amazed when new movies are made that are placed in the 50s and 60s and everything looks old. The stuff wasn't old then. The diners and cars, everything was shiny and new Thanks again :-)
