I really like this lens. Its great when compared to 18-70 kit, and it was cheap. Too bad 17-35/2.8-4 D is far more expensive. I wonder if it has similar image quality and color reproduction.

... and so far tested it in macro mode. Do these look good or are bad/ugly/whatever? macro 1 macro 2

I'm not sure if thats what you wanted, but I've edited your sample photo to gave the sky different look. Some clouds were lost however. Magic wand was used to select sky (I was too lazy to do exact selection, so some pixels may be unchanged ruining an effect, sorry but its late here :)). Following c...

I'm not post processing expert, but depending how many blue objects are on photo I'd play with blue and cyan saturation, luminance, lightness and levels. First two you may access via Hue/Saturation in Adjustements menu. Other two via Levels option in same menu. I may give it a try on test photo that...

I use Firefox 3.0.1 and I have that option turned on. For these forums, Google, and most other websites it doesn't create a new window/tab. For dpreview it does. I've just checked and it works perfectly in SeaMonkey 1.1.11, Firefox 3.0.1 and Opera 9.51 on my system. I just use middle click on links...

SeaMonkey browser (based on old Mozilla Suite and Gecko engine) allows user to open any link in new tab with middle mouse click, ctrl + left mouse click or ctrl + enter. By default these shortcuts open new window. Just go to Edit -> Preferences -> Navigator -> Tabbed browsing. I remember seeing simi...

Maybe its a bit off topic but week or so ago I accidentaly deleted one RAW photo. Since I already deleted it from card too at first I was sure it was lost forever. But wait, when you delete photo from card it isn't really deleted, just information in file allocation table is changed. Since I wasn't ...

I've teaken sky shot at 18mm f22 and then manipulated it in photoshop so every dust spot is clearly visible. There are so many of them! I'm glad that only 3 or 4 (darkest ones) are usually visible from which only one is in upper half (possible sky). I guess it was blower fault on one of previous cle...

Let me start with small backstory of my new a200. When I've opened boxes I mounted my kit lens and shoot few test photos, including some landscapes. While reviewing them on computer there were three dust spots clearly visible on every landscape shot. I've cleaned sensor using blower as manual says a...

Hello to all! I live in southern Poland and just entered DSLR world when I bought Sony a200 three weeks ago. I've been using non-DSLR Fuji FinePix S9600 for almost two years but taken merely 2400 shots with it. So I'm a beginner when it comes to photography. I really enjoy visiting Photoclubalpha an...
