Tamron Di-II SP AF17-50mm F/2.8 XR LD Aspherical (IF) So I got a new lens for my D80 after a while. I figured out that it's time to get a good low light zoom. The Nikon 17-55 would be the original alternative, but it's more than I want to spend and it's…

So some people who know me better have heard this already. I'm quite fascinated with a sentence in a book I have read (partly, I'm still reading it, for months). It is from Heinz von Förster, an austro-american scientist who died 7 years ago. In his book,…

Has anybody a solution to this problem? It's driving me crazy. Windows has a "nice" feature to slow you down automatically when you want to work too fast. So that you don't be too productive. An everyday task that you do on with the graphical user interfa…

Mit einem Tele ist man oft zu nahe dran, das kennt man ja, das Gesicht schön freigestellt vom Hintergrund. Ein gutes Portrait sagt man und die Unschärfe hat sogar einen Namen! Die Katze beim Spielen oder überhaupt ein Makro, man klebt nicht an der Einstel…

Ich hab's natürlich nicht lassen können. Seit Tagen schon blickt es mich an, aus dem Internet, aus Tests, von Fotos und irgendwie, irgendwie gibt es nur einen Gedanken *habenwollen*. Es ist eigentlich schrecklich, es ist sogar ziemlich furchtbar, dass man…

Auf großen Transparenten äußert sich im Vorfeld des G20 Gipfels die Unmut der Bevölkerung. Es ist eure Krise! Money for the need not the greed! und weitere Sprüche die eine Barriere ziehen die in Europa schon lange nicht mehr so interessiert hat. Wie in d…

I've been quite happy with the Tamron 17-50 until yesterday. When I attached the lens cap I noticed that the filterthread was loose and wobbled around. The lens still works, but I'm going to send it to Tamron for repair. Luckily I'm still within the warra…
