    14mm f/2.8D prime vs 16-35 f/4 zoom (nikon)

    So, as some of you know. An ultra-wide for my FF is on the radar. Should be able to pick one up by next month. The king of ultra-wides for nikon is obviously the 14-24 f/2.8. Unforunately, the price tag and impracticality of this lens simply renders this option out of the question. I have...

    Recommend a Flash/Softbox Kit

    Over the past 1-2 years, I've been experimenting with portraiture. While i've experimented with a whole wackload of lighting setups, none of the equipment was mine. I either borrowed friends' strobes, rented flashes, or used whatever studios had to offer. I've determined that of all the...

    2408WFP getting old, U2913WM?

    So, I'm not seeing much reviews/hype about the U2913WM. Looking to upgrade my 2408WFP, it's served me well, but I need more pixels. During my search I came across this monitor and seemed to be great value. I tend to place windows side by side (dont have room for 2 screens), and 1920 wide is just...

    So, what's with all the plastic headphones?

    A few years ago, I was into the headphone game, played and tested with lots of different brands. Since then, to me, the Beyerdynamic DT770 proved to be the best. I loved it so much that I got another Beyerdynamic (DT1350) for portable use and that headphone became my standard, the perfect sound...

    SD Card reader for Samsung Phones

    With my recent purchase of a Note II, I've fully and completely ditched apple. The one thing I did enjoy about the ipad though, is the fact that you could get an SD card adaptor that allows you to import photos on the go - I actually really liked and used that feature a lot I assume that if I...

    13" MBP for photography, which one?

    I never thought I'd actually do this, but time comes where it's time to update. As you can see from my specs below, I'm fairly outdated. The logical thing to do would be to upgrade the core components... but I don't game anymore, and whatever intensive tasks I do is covered with nicely specced...

    Lens for event photography.

    I'll open admit that I have no experience in event and wedding photography. I primarly shoot cityscapes, landscapes, architecture, and love finicking with long exposures.

    Question on Neutral Density filters.

    I am looking to take pictures in bright daylight with a short DOF, essentially using the largest arpeture, am I correct to assume that an ND filter will help me do this? From my research, ND filters block light and allows for stunning waterscapes and sunsets, which is great, but, I havent seen...

    Finally Upgraded, and WOW!

    I've been using a D60 (w/ kit lens + other entry-level lenses) for the past couple of years. It didn't take long for me to outgrow it and found it very limiting. I've been eyeing the D7000 for a while, and today I finally got one. I walked in with the intention of getting the D7000 with its...

    RAID-1 loading folders slow?

    I have two 1TB WD RE3 drives set-up in RAID-1 on ICH9R. I have had this setup for a while now and I notice that everytime I access the drive, it takes quite a while for all the folders to load, i'd say about 3-4 seconds. It's as if the drive needs to initiate everytime I access it. Once I get in...

    1920x1200 on a 15.4" screen

    Does anyone here have a 15.4" laptop with a WUXGA 1920x1200 screen? I will soon be getting a W500 for school (CAD/PS/minor gaming) and this is the only upgrade that im not too sure off. 1920x1200 is a luxury that I can enjoy, but the thought of it being on a 15.4" screen is just bothering me...

    So... I finally got the Auzentech Forte... (Problem)

    After being annoyed running on onboard sound for a while, I finally got myself the Auzentech Forte. It was fairly cheap (compared to D2X), was low profile, and had a built in headphone amp (granted, im sure its not the best amp around, but for my DT770s, im sure it will suffice, and its...

    Looking for a good wide angle lens (D60)

    About 8 months ago, I bought my first dSLR, a Nikon D60, and i must say, im really pleased with it. It came with the stock lens which didn't take long for me to realize that the stock lens was absolute crap, so I intend on getting new ones. One of the lenses I plan on getting is the good...

    Laptop with 2 2.5" bays?

    I will be purchasing a laptop within a couple of months, and I was wondering if there was any decent laptop out there under $2k that can support 2 2.5" drives native without compromising the ODD. I would strongly prefer something around 15", but I can squeeze a 16" if necessary. 17" is too big.

    i7 for 3D renderings.

    Heya, I am aware of the many "should I go with i7" threads out there, and many of you suggest sticking with regular 775 CPUs as there isn't much of an improvement with going i7 (which is the main reason why I am still sticking with my old gen 775 quad). While that mainly applies to gaming and...
