I actually dropped my brand new 50D and had a 18-200 lense on it as my strap got hung and yanked it out of my hand inevitably it is going to fall lense first and did. When I picked it up it was cracked like a car window and I had a deep pit in my stomach. As I further investigated the situation and painfully removing the damaged filter by sawing it in half as I couldn't unscrew it. I realized it had only damaged my filter. Needless to say I own lots of filters and will never not have that protection on my lenses. I have learned through my own recklessness any filter is better than non at all. FILTER UP GUYS

Hoot Owl 3 standing on 6" square tubing. I was amazed at the size of his legs...

I am looking at taking better pics close up. I never really thought or know to much about add ons to the lense I have. I would like to at least stay away from the less quality lenses. Thanx for advice

I have a cannon 50D w/EFS 18-200 tele lens and am looking for the best second lens to get that will give me the most options and without spending a fortune.

Thanx JD

JD I was shooting in raw and when I download my pic to computor or ipad I am getting a copy in raw and jpg. My question is, is that normal or is it the setting in my camera? It didnt take long to fill memory in pad as I was using on vacation to dump cards shooting in raw.

I'm new to this and really wanted more depth. I am using a Cannon 50D with a EFS 18-200 shot in macro with F3.50
ISO was at 800.
