[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 610529, member: 13090"] I think before I could give you any suggestions I'd need to know a few things... You said a couple times you're not happy with your results you're getting; can you be more specific regarding what is it you're not happy with? Is it the exposure, the color are the photos not sharp... ?? How do you shoot generally speaking, meaning do you shoot in Aperture Priority, Program mode, full Manual... All of the above, none of the above... Do you shoot raw or .jpg? In general how familiar are you with the foundations of photography, things like the exposure triangle and reciprocity for instance? I ask these questions because much of the time it's not that the equipment isn't up to the task, it's the user that doesn't understand what's required to get a good shot under the prevailing conditions. I don't mean to sound harsh when I say that, but neither do I want to see you spend a ton of money on lenses when that's not the real solution. If it comes to that, though, rest assured we're all very good at helping people spend their money. Lastly, regarding hoods and filters: Hoods, I would say, are essential and you should definitely have and use them on all your lenses. Filters are optional and run a distant second to having lens hood. [COLOR="#FFFFFF"]....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
