My Canon was sold with a lens so bad that I just left it with the
shop
and picked two of their better lenses, the 70-200mm F4 L-series is not
bad at all.
The 2.8 was just not necessary.


The 70-200 F4 is a consumer grade lens, soft at F4 and much like
Nikon's 70-300, which is also a weak lens. Saying that the 2.8 wasn't
necessary points out that you don't even know the difference between
2.8 and F4 in real world shooting.

Hey Guys,

I'm way out of class with this Camera discussion BUT when I switched
from polaroid to Digital I used Nutsy as my expert. He didn't steer me
wrong. He understood my wants & needs and the advice was perfect. I
couldn't be more pleased with my present set-up. I've thanked him for
his help.

A super Photo-Artist he may not be but his knowledge is damn good of the
available equipment. Also, it is given freely.

Give me your budget, skill level and expectations and I'll give you the
2 or 3 best picks for P&S or DSLRs. Ozzy should have asked me.
For his needs:
Nikon D50
Nikkor 18-200VR
50mm 1.8
SB600 Flash
This would have been a nicer outfit. The new Nikkor 18-200VR is simply
amazing glass. For many people it's the ONLY lens they'll ever need.

True enough Thom, now if he could just deliver it with a little less
vitriol and hyperbole we'd be all set here.

Marty,

If you need a good answer on something he knows don't go through the
discussion group. On the ASA he feels duty bound to reply with to much
"Bluster" I don't believe anyone, on the List, can change that but on a
one to one e-mail he is different. Don't ask me why???
