My 58mm Sigma DG Wide Polorizing lens are broken, damnit.
Had them mounted on the XT on a tripod on uneven ground and as I was adjusting the tripod's legs it fell over... Now the filter won't turn. Brought them to a photography store and they tried benting the rim out, didn't work. Agh... wanted to use it for my cousin's wedding that just past. Bought them a few days before the wedding.... Wasted $115

Seth 2nd one is on point, the 1st one is ok just a lil dark. Also do you shoot in RAW?

took about 1200 some photos this past weekend in STL and after doing editing was down to 890. so it's hard to pick just a few.

I love that last pic.

I just picked up a Sony A300 two weeks ago. Since I dont know nothing much about photography I figured it would be a good starter camera. I am still reading through the booklet to see everyting that it has.

I only shoot in RAW.

fliegendaffe: I like the first one. I need to go to the St Lousi Zoo, I have never been!

actually, i didn't post any of my pics from the zoo. the first few are from the Botanical Garden.

I have learned myself, to only shoot in raw. Helps in the editing phase.

Yeah, especially when you are in a rush and cant set the wb properly. Only time I shoot in jpg is when I need the constant burst and raw fills up the buffer in 6 shots on the XT :(

Bringing this thread back. Thinking about buying a used Canon 70-200mm f4 or Canon 200mm f2.8 instead of a 40d. Then get a 40d + grip come incometax return time.

Anybody use either lesn? Ive used the 70-200mm f2.8 and it rocked.

sample photos from my canon ef-s 18-200mm IS + canon rebel xt.
the IS is hungry on juice. good thing i have a battery grip (with 2 li-on batteries)

Would be a great walkaround lens, but I cant buy another lens without USM. Going to use it for sports and motocross, probably get a 1.4x teleconverter too.
