[QUOTE="JoeLewisPhotography, post: 58651, member: 3571"] lol because i am a professional does not mean i need to act in a professional manner 24/7. Nor do i think I am even acting unprofessional. I dont thump my chest, i have no reason to. I know what i am about. Much like yourself, i was stating my opinions and advice. My opinion was that the advice you gave was terrible. and I will stand by that. If he wanted to know if he could use his kit lens, then he would have asked. He was concerned with getting the correct lense for what he wanted to do because he obviously wants to take marco and portraits more seriously. I'm sorry, but a kit lens just cant handle those 2 tasks as well as the lenses he mentioned he was looking into, and you advised him that they basically would. That is poor advice. And yes, he is a Rockwell Humper. Its a figure of speech. Rockwell is the biggest damn fake/hack on the planet. Oh, and as for being a mentor, that is exactly what i do here. I help people by being honest and keeping them grounded with real information, along with my strong opinions. If you you are an amatuer, with no real world experience with the gear the original poster speaks of, how can you even offer "advice"? Im not going to take advice from a boat salesman, on what car to buy. [/QUOTE]
