Do compact digital camera lenses distort the face.? July 3, 2010 | 08:26 am

Alex

Is it me, or do digital cameras distort faces. In all the pictures I take the subjects' noses look larger and the faces look thinned our or enlarged. Is this due to the cheaper quality lens? Any suggestions on a decently priced camera that doesn't do this (0 to 0 range)?

Why are there no adapters to let lenses for 35mm camera work w/ same focal length for digital camers? February 22, 2010 | 04:40 am

Alex

Yes, the digital densors are smaller than 35mm film, and yes, lenses have the same focal length where ever they are used. But, using lenses designed for 35m cameras on digital cameras trims the border of the image, making the lens effectively a "longer" lens. Could someone make an adapter, like a doubler (but instead a half-er) to make the old lenses work comprably with the digital cameras?

New D/SLR body: Canon, Nikon or ?? … and WHY? Lenses? January 25, 2010 | 02:13 am

Alex

I've been doing all my photography with so-called "prosumer grade" digital cameras and have recently begun to understand the limits of those types of cameras. So I'm starting to think about buying a SLR or DSLR body and some lenses. Friends have given me differing opinions on what brand I should go with. I wanted to see what you all have to say about it.

I'm hoping to get some insight into lens quality, availability and options as well as info about the bodies themselves.

Thanks!
Sorry. I wasn't clear on what I was looking for.

I'm hoping to get facts and opinions about brands - not necessarily particular bodies - because I understand that that various brands have different selections of lenses and other accessories with different features and pros/cons on various aspects of quality and so forth. And you're sort of bound to that brand once you buy a body - at least for lenses and some accessories.

I'd like to understand the diffs between the quality and selection of lenses, mostly. Things like whether one brand has a better auto-focus mechanism for example. Or another brand has less spherical distortion in these certain lines of wide angles - that sort of thing.

Thanks!

Older Sigma 70-210mm APO f2.8 won’t stop down on my digital camera, lens too old, what to do? January 24, 2010 | 01:41 pm

Alex

Is there a way to take the lens apart and set it at f3.5 or f4 manuallly, then use it on a digital Canon camera? The lens is an older model Sigma APO and won't change stops on the newer digital cameras. Was designed for film cameras.
It will change on a film camera. Can I change the stops on film cam, then put it on my digital??

Is this a good lense for a beginning photographer? November 11, 2009 | 04:54 am

Alex

I haven't actually started taking pictures but I already know I want a Nikon D3000. I really like pictures taken with a fisheye lens. Would this be a good lens for me to save up for so I can get it when I get my camera or should I take pictures for a little bit and then buy this lens?

Can I make my Nikon Coolpix L1 digital camera take infra-red photos? October 5, 2009 | 11:24 am

Alex

I am wondering if it is possible to shoot any sort of digital photos with my Nikon Coolpix L1 at night (without flash, for those that might suggest the obvious). Are there any special lenses or attachments that I could purchase that I could rig up to do so? I've seen other digital cameras with the IR attachment on top and a "night shoot" option shoot great shots in the dark. So would I have to get a camera specifically built for that purpose, or can something be done?

Are there inexpensive DIGITAL SLR cameras which can use NIKON F lenses ? (Wishful thinking, or Bad idea ?) September 17, 2009 | 11:18 am

Alex

Back when I had a lot of money to spend,I acquired a nice selection of Nikon F lenses,for my Nikon Fe.

Now I would like to find a decent camera body to use them for digital photography. I currently have no digital cameras.

But now, the prices on Nikon camera bodies seem out of the question for me.

Thank you for your help.

Digital SLR lenses vs. Regular SLR Lenses? July 26, 2009 | 02:12 pm

Alex

I am thinking of upgrading from a 35 mm SLR to a digital SLR. I have really good lenses.(Regular which came with the Pentax , Macro and Zoom I bought , they are Sigma lenses.) I have a pentax camera and Sigma lenses. Which are working fine together.
Would the lenses I have been using fit on any digital SLR camera or do the digital cameras require different lenses. someone kind of told me that every digital camera has a differnt mount for lenses. I am asking here because I need to hear it from another source. Thanks
