Reasonably Good Setup for 5K (US) or Less?????
The 400 F5.6 makes hiking your camera gear so much easier because of the weight factor. Because it is lighter, a monopod or hand holding works well. The advantage of the 5D vs 7D is the 5D uses new technology, and is considered a semi-pro body, so it is build to last. The performance at... -

Histogram on a 7D
I'm taking a photography course at the local college in Nature Photography, leading to a Photography Certificate. The instructor claims that a well exposed photo's histogram is positioned right of centre. He claims that the pixels that are most easily adjusted post processing are found in this... -
