[QUOTE="AC016, post: 58607, member: 9619"] Thanks Joe, that is good input. However, what i said was only some friendly advice. Instead of him going out and spending a bunch of money on some new glass, i was only asking if he tried/attempted to do either application with his kit lens to see the results. Further, i think him getting caught up in trying to decide on a whole bunch of other lenses and how to use them, will distract him from getting the basics down with what he already has. I am certainly not saying that the kit lens is the all, end all and i can not stop him from going out and buying other glass. Please look at Kirten Gallon. She makes her living as a pro photog with 2 of Nikon's cheapest lenses: [url=http://www.kirstengallon.com/]Kirsten Gallon's Photos | SmugMug[/url]. You still think its a joke? There are many other examples. I did not mean to make a generalization, but it is true to some extent. The camera/lens does not always matter. Thanks again for your input [/QUOTE]
