I had a Canon Rebel 2000 SLR with 28-80mm lens. I want to buy a Nikon D80 DSLR and can I use the above lens if I just buy the body only?.
Is this a good fit and compatible.

Thanks for advice.
If not, Can I buy a Canon DSLR just the body and use this lens?

I have a D40x right now. It’s my first dlsr.
I want to have an upgrade cause I’m like addicted now to photography.

Im looking at the Hasselblad H3D II – 50 for my serious photography (landscapes, portraits, family gatherings such as birthdays, vacations, and reunion) and also for travel.
First, I was interested in an 8 x 10″ View Camera but that seems too impractical and hard to use coz of the film developing and the sheer size of it so now I’m looking at the digital H3D II – 50. I’m thinking maybe it won’t match the view camera when it comes to resolution but at least it’s the closest.

Now, for my walk around camera and also when travelling, I want to carry a light camera so I won’t be carrying a large bulky camera.
I’m considering the Leica M8.2 (light, compact, and durable)

So have anyone used/tested these cameras?
Or do you have any suggestions?

How bout the M9. Should I wait for it cause it seems like forever that Leica won’t replace the M8 while Nikon and Canon are replacing their models very frequently.
Hi D L.
Thanks for the advice.
I brought the d40x because it’s my first time in SLR photography.
I’m stepping up cause I want higher quality (particularly resolution) and I’m like a shutter bug now, you know.
And my friend says Leicas last a lifetime (at least the lens and film bodies) and Im really fascinated by first-rate mechanical tools that will last a lifetime.
So you get my point. Im not buying those because they’re expensive u know.
What pro medium format capable of is that they give u more room to express ur creativity.
So u get what I mean?

photography tips

At B&Hphoto there is a medium format film slr by hasselblad.
It is a chrome 500 series. Why on earth is it 2600 USD?
The automatic film camera was the same price.
Then medium format lenses are hell expensive.

Also, why on earth are underwater casings so expensive?
I don’t understand how they can be more expensive than the camera itself.

The lenses are:
Nikkor 60mm f/2.8 Micro (macro)
Nikkor 70-300 f/4.5-5.6

I was originally saving for the zoom, because I really want to get into wildlife photography, but I’ve always loved/been interested in macro photography. If you want, you can view my flickr stream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dani_1591/
but PLEASE refer to the photos older than July OR just look at what I consider my favorites:

… that will give you the best idea of my current “style” – I really haven’t had much time for photography or uploading photos to Flickr since starting school, so my most recent uploads aren’t really a good representation of what I normally do.

Anyways… any advice about which lens?
(Or another similar lens – a different brand maybe? that would be in my price range, up to $550)
Thanks in advance =)

im just starting out in photography and i need some advice on which camera to start out with. I don’t want anything too expensive like hasselblad or anything but i do want one that is easy to work with and takes quality pictures

There are journalistic, contemporary, and traditional styles of wedding photography. Most brides polled these days prefer the journalistic or contemporary type.

Photo journalistic styles of wedding photograph simply means that the photographer acts more like a journalist, as in they will be following you around and they will capture more non-staged, intimate moments of your wedding day.

Contemporary can mean different things to different people. The way this photography works is that the photographer finds places where the backgrounds are beautiful and there is proper lighting. Thus the photographs of the bride and groom are in a more ideal setting. When this technique is done properly, the results can be stunning! These are the style of pictures that you will see in fashion and wedding magazines.

Traditional is the style that is now somewhat out of fashion. It consists of posed groups and portraits. There is a lot of direction from the wedding photographer on how to stand or pose. The benefits are that you get pictures that are attractive but predictable. Please note that requesting this type of photography can be time consuming and may take away from time with your friends and guests.

It is mostly recommended these days that you use a blend of styles to get a well-rounded result. 80% journalistic and 20% traditional is a great way of capturing your wedding and being able to have a wide spectrum of photography styles to choose from when your album is designed.

Wedding albums have changed dramatically in the last decade. The popular types of albums these days are called coffee table style albums or digital albums. They are essentially high quality hard-bound (some soft-bound options are out there) illustration books similar to what you’d find in an art section of a bookstore.

Since the layouts of digital albums are not limited to simply stacking common photo sizes one after the other, very dramatic artwork can be created from your wedding photographs. Imagine an image of your wedding cake spanned across two pages of an open digital book and several stylized shots of the couple feeding each other the cake are digitally laid on top. This gives a very dynamic result, and prevents the often ‘boring’ factor of traditional wedding albums that one gets after flipping through several pages of the same ‘quadrant’ style albums of the past.

It is also important to choose a photographer that has good credentials and positive client experiences. Ask the photographer for a list of past references and see what the wedding couple says of their results. Always question photographers whose prices are outside the norm (especially prices significantly below other competitor’s pricing, like the kind you may see on Craigslist). A lot of inexperienced photographers charge much lower pricing to create a portfolio or to expand a limited portfolio. You do not want to be a ‘test run’ for a beginner.

While every wedding photographer has to start somewhere, it is generally discouraged to use an inexperienced photographer because the results could be poor, and that is not a good way to guarantee happy memories of your wedding day.

Hopefully you picked up some useful tips in how to choose a good wedding photographer. There is a lot of information on the web on choosing a photographer, so visit some reputable websites that can help assist you in finding the perfect choice to archive your precious wedding moments.
