Hi Jaan,
Welcome to the forum. Your Photographs are beautiful.

Hello David, Thanks for your comments, I cropped the photo to remove some of the water. I've been to Hong Kong a few times and it seems everytime we go it's hazy, you can see the buildings across the bay. If I remember correctly it was $2.30HK to ride on the top deck and $1.60HK to ride the bottem d...

Here's a shot I made with a 7D and Tamron 28-300 in Hong Kong.

Hi Edwin,

You can try cleaning the contacts with a pencil eraser, but like David said be careful and don't use too much pressure.

David,

I didn't think of that but it does make sence. Could you post a photograph taken with the 8mm before it's croped?

Hi David and Carl,

Carl, I too am on a budget, I watch the "White Lenses" on eBay and can only wish.

David, If I'm not mistaken doesn't the 8mm give you a circular photo and that's the reason you have to crop it?

Hello Stan and welcome to PCA

Hi CableTalk and welcome to the forum

Hi Harvey,

I've seen these lenses on Ebay and wondered about them also.

I've used a Sigma 16mm f-2.8 on a Maxxum 9 with great results, but on the 7D digital it looses it's uniqueness with the 1.5 sensor factor. It becomes a 24mm.

Hi Carl, Again thanks for the advice. What brand lens would you consider? I have used a Sigma 16mm fish eye on my Maxxum 9 and really liked the results. But when used on the 7D with the 1.5 factor results changed, took the uniqueness out of the shot. The Sigma was all metal construction and felt wel...

Hi Carl,

I'll give your suggestion a try, thanks alot.

Someday I would like to get a long lens to do some nature or auto racing shots.

Hi Carl, I do like the 7D but I'm not having to much luck getting the photos I want. I just spoke with a pro about the lenses I have and it didn't go to well. I was told that the Tamron 28-105 f-2.8 wasn't a very good lens for taking sharp photos. I guess I'm going to have to invest in some better g...

Hello to all, I just joined after looking around for awhile. I am fairly new to digital photography and wishing to learn. I have no formal education in photography and consider it a hobby, one that I hope to spend more time with. My current camera is a Knoica/Minolta 7D. I have already experienced F...
