Re: macro lenses
Another vote for the Canon 100mm USM Macro here.
To choose between the two lenses you've listed, you really need to work out what type of things you wish to shoot.
If you can get really close...

Re: An annual TE exhibition.
Thanks Kev! My vote would be for Landscapes. What odds ;)

Re: DxO Mark - new way to compare camera quality
It's very interesting, but unfortunately I don't think it's 100% useful.
As far as I can tell they don't seem to have any measure of how much detail the sensor/system is capable of rendering; i.e....

Re: Compact cameras

Thanks for that Peter. I was vaguely looking at the Dell 2008WFP, but being wide gamut could be a problem, since I tend to use sRGB. It doesn't seem to calibrate well to sRGB according to the...

Re: Canon 40D
My point is that regardless of the results the comparison makes no sense.
If you buy a Ferrari 595, of course it'll go faster than a Ford Focus. If you want a Ferrari, and can afford the Ferrari,...

Re: Canon 40D
That's an unfair comparison.
The D3 is a full-frame camera, whilst the other two are APS-C cameras. The real kicker is the price though, the 40D is £577 whilst the D3 is a stratospheric £2628.
