It does great work for mid and long range landscapes and such but I couldn't get a decent macro with it either. <br />I talked to my camera store about it; turns out the lens quality is just mid range and that is why it fuzzes out when one crops in super tight. :-/<br />I had better macro luck with my kit lens alone or with a magnifier. The 50 doesn't have threading for screwing on a magnifier either. <br />I still need to "mess" with the telephoto lens for macro more too.Thoughts on Life and Millinery.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15826496514403918108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29053672.post-82529332143362961702013-01-25T09:18:26.751-07:002013-01-25T09:18:26.751-07:00You are one smart cookie!!

I store most of my photos on my laptop with an external hard drive for backup. (which I need to do very soon) I never thought of using chips.<br /><br />I have a nifty 50 lens question. I can't get good macros with it - it won't focus close up. That surprises me. I thought it was supposed to be good for that? Am I doing something wrong?<br /><br />Thanks Jill!!Kathiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15954229132389021143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29053672.post-92229181634332047462013-01-24T22:25:53.253-07:002013-01-24T22:25:53.253-07:00You are very organized, and very creative too.

If I ever get serious about photography I will use some of your great tips. <br /><br />All my photos are on the computer, Picasa, and a hard drive if/when I remember to back them up.

Now if we are in such a sad state of affairs that recharging power is no longer a possibility it would be a bummer but if that was the case I think I would have more pressing concerns...<br />I also think that significant family photos should be printed once in color and once in black and white in a small size. A birth, childhood, marriage, mid life and old age photo collage for each family member would be worth having in print.Thoughts on Life and Millinery.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15826496514403918108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29053672.post-65023057759543148402013-01-24T14:21:13.640-07:002013-01-24T14:21:13.640-07:00What a fantastic idea to keep your camera memory c...What a fantastic idea to keep your camera memory cards as your unedited pictures! Burning them onto CD's is such a hastle and don't hold very many pictures at best! I am totally going to use this version of storage. Hope memory cards still work in the future??!!

Just dealing with the family photos has taught me not to saddle my kids and grands with it. You, though, should be publishing or showing your work!Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29053672.post-77743491717115893502013-01-24T12:16:04.317-07:002013-01-24T12:16:04.317-07:00Oh, I have so much to learn!
