chadott I can tell you from my experience that will most likely be the case!! What makes photography such an expensive hobby is the constantly changing technology, and the fact that whatever equipment you have, there is always something "better" out there that you...

chadott Yes, I would consider that window shopping (or maybe it's screen shopping?!?!?) A couple years ago, I was shopping eBay for a nice backpack type bag for my camera and equipment and came across one that included a 40d body, a 70-200 L lens, and a Sigma 18-50...

chadott Actually, you should be able to find those filters no matter what size if you look around. Do you ever use third party lenses for your camera? I have a few Sigma lenses that I bought before I upgraded to the L series I use now. They are WAY cheaper than...

chadott I don't mean to sound rude or belittling, but you just said you don't know much more about photography. So what makes you think you are a good enough photographer to be published in a magazine? When I see people who actually admit that they know little about...
