  1. That's the 300mm f/2.8 right? I thought it went for $7k...almost $2k more than the Nikon (which is a damn fine lens).
  2. Oh boy. Assuming the aperture and shutter speed are constant (we'll say 1/15 @ f/2.8); doubling the ISO (ISO 200 -> 400) would yield a brighter picture. By doubling the ISO, twice as much light is being collected. Full ISO stops are 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400, 12800, 25600. One stop is equivalent to a doubling of light. ISO 100 -> 200 = 1 stop/double the light; ISO 200 -> 800 = 2 stops/quadruple the light.
  3. Put the camera into Program mode. Set the ISO to 800 for underground shots and cloudy days.
  4. I recommend flickr. Their pro accounts are well-worth the money as well.
  5. You could also shoot raw images if your camera supports it. Raw files have greater exposure latitude and also aren't white balanced (JPEGs are).
  6. If your camera has white balance preset, you can set the WB off of a white wall.
  7. I'm waiting to get a Nikon D700. FX goodness. :cool: Also been considering a Canon G10 or a Panasonic LX3 as a carry-around though...seen impressive images from both.
  8. Yeah, the 35mm is a great choice. Considering the D50's crop factor, it's the closest thing to a 50mm prime that you'll get. I can't wait for my brother to get it back to me, i've been using my 50mm f/1.8 lately, but its just too narrow FOV for a lot of shots.
  9. I always try to shoot with a Nikon D50 and a 35mm f/2 lens. Makes good flashless shots.
