I seem to recall reading that there were serious and furious arguements among the learned cognoscendi about the number of angels that could dance on the head of a pin, back in the Middle Ages. Doesn't seem that technology helped matters much.:meh:

I'm your huckleberry :mrgreen:

Since pins are scientifically measurable objects and angels are not, the answer is both 'an infinite number' and 'none' at the same time.

Well i'm selling all my L lenses because it has been proven that the kit lens is all you need, anyone know what the kit lens was for the 5D and 1Dmk2 so there will be 8 L lenses in the classified soon, one kit lens will do i can share it between my 5D and 1D's although i probably don't need 3 back up bodies

 

[pgriz]

Umm, GsGary... since you don't want to sell bad stuff, send it over and I'll test them for you. After a year or so of testing, I'll let you know which one(s) are not worth anything and I'll take care of the disposal for you as well, gratis.

300mmF2.8L is my favourite, i hope i will be ok shooting cricket with the kit lens because i usually shoot at 600mm

Yup, that one is definitely dangerous. I'm sending you a padded box for you to dispose of the gear. Remember, it's not the lens, it's the photographer. Keep on repeating it until you really believe it. Then send me the box.

Haha Some of you must walk on water while you are photographing. So many idealist on here. I think everyone should post a different photo of their work with each post. This way it would be easier to weed out the crap. Then again, you would always have the plagiarizers.

Listen, if you have the talent to shoot a wedding then go for it. You and only you have to deal with the consequences of your work. As for equipment. I have seen people take better photos with a $700 camera kit, than those who had their fancy full frame cameras. It's the photographer not the gear. Good Luck!

Had a look at some photos and changed my mind

Nope, not allowed to change your mind! You could do that shot with a kit lens I bet!

Also, you should send your lenses to me instead of pgriz because he doesn't even know how many angels can dance on the head of a pin! :lmao:

Ahh, but you only got one image out of your photo... he could get 4-5 usable images out of a photo with a kit lens because he would have shot it much larger and crop it since he has a larger megapixel camera. Just think, you only captured the surfer - there were probably great white sharks, nursing mothers, baby seals and UFO's that you missed in this shot by using superior gear.

You = Lose

It's the photographer not the gear. Good Luck!

Average gear + bad photographer = bad photos
Average gear + average photographer = decent photos
Best gear + average photographer = good photos
Best gear + best photographer = best photos

In my opinion, it's really not a gear versus talent thing - it's a gear plus talent thing, with a bias towards talent.

Best gear + bad photographer = bad photos.
Average gear + best photographer = good photos.

See?

Pfft. I know. I just didn't want to prejudice your answers. And GSGary, that's really terrible bokeh you've got there. No, you deserve better. Now, just let go of the box and give it to the postal service guy....

I used to get all those too, until someone pointed out the sensor needed cleaning...:er:
