Tutorials

Ever find yourself wondering just how someone managed to create an image using different effects?

Here are three simple tutorials we hope will encourage you to try something new.

The Hot Seat

A lifelong interest in landscape photography has led Eyal Oren to make a study of his adopted hometown of Marblehead, MA. As you can see, his dedication is paying off!

Africa!

Dgrinners Harryb, Pathfinder, and others joined Andy Williams and Marc Muench on Safari in East Africa recently. Here are some awesome threads to check out!

SOLD: Tamron 28-75 2.8 for canon
I have a Tamron 28-75 2.8 for Canon mount for sale. It's like new as far as I can tell (though it isn't new, and is a few years old even). A fine lens, but as a college kid I'll take money where I can get it and I don't find myself using this lens that much.
$330 includes shipping within the US
Note, the rear lens cap is not the original, but it is a canon rear lens cap.

PM or e-mail rishayegan@davidson.edu

More images, including two taken with the lens one at 28mm 2.8 and one at 75mm 2.8 showing that focus is dead on and this is pretty good wide open, at http://davidson.smugmug.com/gallery/2379855
Thanks,
Richard

Note to an owner to be: The fact that the rear cap is a Canon cap and not the Tamron cap is a GOOD THING. The Tamron cap will only go on one way, and you will waste countless moments fiddling with getting the fool thing back on while changing lenses. The Canon cap will go on much , much easier. (maybe you should raise your price a few bucks Marlinspike!!)

Funny that while the rear Tamron cap is annoying, the front Tamron caps are better than Canon's. They have "pinch points" near the center of the cap as well as on the outer edges. This makes getting the front cap off with a hood in place MUCH easier.

I agree on the Tamron cap (which this still has...as you can tell from the photo gallery). I probably should raise the price a few bucks, but I have actually dropped it (and forgot to update here).

New price: $320 shipped.

EDIT - sorry but just looking around and your price seems expensive for a 2 year old used lens, These are selling for beetween $300 and $360 brand new.

Most of those prices are in need of being checked against resellerratings.com, but yeah some of them are close to what I'm asking...weird I've never seen it that low before.

Anywho, it looks like I sold it on another forum (just waiting on payment).
