Really? Just when I thought you couldn't get any cooler.

Sometimes, I amaze even myself.

Final question... should I get the 18-200 kit lens or just body? I don't really have any pricey lenses... just basic stuffs.

do you need the lens? What do you usually find yourself wanting when you shoot your XS?

I shoot everything I see. 18-200 seems like it'd give me some options when I'm out walking around.

That is not a bad choice. The 18 - 135 for a starter lens is decent also.

Amazon doesn't have the 18-200 in stock. 18-135 it is. I have a 75-300 already.

The current 7D can wirelessly control multiple Canon speedlites as slaves, individually or as groups.

Just more pot stirring, LOL.

I have the 430 and I borrowed a friend's. It works quite well for an inexpensive, portable, multiple flash setup.

my question of the day: Aperture or Lightroom?

Neither. Get your exposure right the first time.

I think my light meter lies. I find myself pushing it 1/3-2/3 of a stop either way once I get it in Lr.

I'll make sure to do this from now on.

Lunaz-- what are your thoughts on LR?

Cmike2780 · 05-23-2012, 02:09 PM

I have LR & Aperture, both excellent, but I like the Lightroom workflow better so I switched over. For heavy lifting, neither can replace PS. Both have a 30 day trial, so I would download both and see which one you like better.

Thinking about what else I could get for $1600.

You drive a sports car when you could easily drive a POS that can get you from A to B. Same thing with camera equipment
