    Beginning setup for D50

    reply... you'll probable get lots of replies to your question.... but here's my 2penceworth... I've got a D50 with a Sigma 400mm Apo Macro (prime) lens... I also use a 1.4x TC. The 1.5x magification you get with Nikon cameras means that this lens is equivalent to 600mm on a 35mm film camera...

    Opinions on Canon D60

    Canon D60... ...the D60 will work very well with your 400mm lens (both from the same 'era').. The 10d will 'probably' not be 100% ( lock up AF etc)...

    For the past couple of months for 'birding' ..I've been using an old (from ebay) Sigma 400mm f5.6 Apo Macro (prime) lens with my Nikon D50. Very pleased.

    What's wrong?

    DoF Formula ..what's the formula for working this DoF out.... ..distance fron subject ...focal length .....there's very little depth of field (DOF): assuming you were (say) ten feet from the bird, with an actual focal length of 500mm, you've only got 0.6 of a centimetre of DOF - 0.3...
