[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 855904, member: 24160"] Thanks everyone - got the camera & kit lens - the 55-250 (only $50 from Amazon with the kit) - bag, extra battery and a couple of uv filters. Guess I need to get the hoods for them - only been reading and taken about 100 shots in the backyard so far. Ater a lot of reading, think I'm finally starting to understand the significance between aperture, shutter speed and ISO. The old mind just doesn't seem to grasp new concepts nearly as fast as it use to. Headed out this morning to the park/greenbelt by the house to experiment and find out if I understood anything or not. Already found out the understanding doesn't translate into good pictures without the experience of knowing what to put together based on the available light. The back yard is almost fully shaded, so most of them have come out pretty dark so far. Sold one of my old computers yesterday and think I may take that and get a macro. Found one of the 100mm macros on CL for a good price, but at a pound and 1/2, I've gotta pass on it for now and go with the ef-s 60mm. Especially since it's selling used on ebay within about 10% of the price of a new one on Amazon. VI - you're right, got enough experience to know the reasons you start a hobby may not end up being the same ones you enjoy down the road. And thanks for the tip on the blower and lens cleaner, hadn't thought of that. [/QUOTE]
