There really is no reason for that. My little Epson camera with near-megapixel resolution should have been totally future proof. Also, it looks like you've been keeping it between books to flatten it out.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

Nothing too heavy. The photo would have come out even better if I had held my hands a little more steady (it's just a tiny bit fuzzy). My 24-70 f/2.8L zoom lens doesn't have image stabilization. I'm really hoping Japanese made lens prices might take a serious drop now that the US Dollar is trading above 100¥ to $1. The exchange rate had gone as bad as 70¥ to $1 in recent years. Maybe that's why Canon is charging $2,499 for the 70-200 f/2.8L IS version II lens when the version I model cost $1,799. There is a $300 instant rebate on that lens until June 1. I've had the non-IS version for a few years and am seriously considering an upgrade. Not that I would use a 70-200 zoom to take that Dolby SR sticker photo. You gotta get back like 15 feet or so just to get to minimum focus distance.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 05-16-2013 06:34 PM                        It's amazing the distance the lenses need for minimum focus distance. I have a 100mm prime lens (not L, but whatever the step below L is... Ultrasonic?) that can focus on things as close as maybe about a foot or a bit less.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 05-17-2013 11:52 AM                     Yeah, I can get really close to subjects with my 24-70 zoom. Come to think of it though, I'll have to check the focus limiter switch settings on my 70-200 zoom. I might have it flipped to the long end of things. I'd like to get a good macro lens, like maybe the 100mm f/2.8L macro. Apparently it also doubles as a really good portrait lens. But I'm lusting after that image stabilized 70-200 more.  |  IP: Logged
