Great show ! Thanks ! Pic me please
!
Good Stuff
I really appreciated your specifics on the Gym example. iso-Fstop at 1000. Thanks for the great resource. Also is there a specific reason why you guys only ever seem to mention Canon and Nikon lenses? What about other makes of lense?
great show
Great show!!!!!!!!
Thanks Scott and Matt!
Great info. I want a book!!!!
Great show ! Here is more for next show http://www.dofmaster.com/dofjs.html
Thanks for the show guys. You’re the best!
Scott and Matt you guys rock!!!!
Great show ! Thanks ! Here is more fore next show . http://www.dofmaster.com/dofjs.html
Thanks for the tips!
Hi guys,
great show as always keeps getting better & better, keep up the great work.
By the way Matt i would love to win a copy of your new book.
I have the 70-300 mm and love it. I’m not a pro yet so I had to start small so if you like eating things other than Ramen noodles and having a roof over your head, I highly recommend it.
Enjoyed the show!
Hi Guys:
Really enjoy your show. I found your sports episode particularly interesting. Keep up the great work.
loved the show thank you
Great show guys!
Awesome episode! I don’t shoot sports regularly but this will help since I have been asked to shoot local high school sports.
Awesome episode guys! I don’t shoot sports regularly but this will help me out, since I have been asked to shoot the local high school sports events.
You guys are wonderful love the episode with all the sports lenses very interesting.
Great show. Thanks.
Fabulous show, as usual. Please send the 400mm lens pre-paid post!!! Yeah, right….
Still requesting that you do a show on everything to do with memory cards. What not to do and what to look for when purchasing a card, etc. Thanks a lot.
Great sports photography tips!
Great show. Thanks for the explanation on the differences of the lenses. Looking forward to the second episode on sports . Wish you would do some shows about photographing birds in flight. Nice to see Matt in a white shirt for a change.
Any comments on using these long lenses on a DX camera body? Noise levels?
Bra program/ Great show
Super show !!!!!
Thanks for the great information!
Keep up the awesome work!
MT
Hi Guys – Great show!!
I learned a lot from this session. Thanks guys.
I’m have new appreciation for my 70-200 f 2/8 lens
Ohh my…I was drooling whole show like a baby… 70-200mm looks so small among those monsters
Great show!
Scott & Matt are the best at creating “photog mentality.” Things that help you SEE the shot. One of those from this episode..getting the ultimate depth of field when you get tight on a subject. The difference between using 70-200mm and 24-70mm is huge for separation..EXCELLENT point! Thanks Guys!
great show
thanks for the tips
looking forward to next week
Great show as always! Thanks for explaining the different lenses! Pick me, pretty please!
Thanks Scott and Matt for a great show again!
Great show guys, very informative, I love when you talk about lenses.
Cool show & I would like to win the cool give-away!
this is the show i have been waiting for, cant wait to episode 2
thanks guys you rock…..
To think 50 years ago I shot college basketball with a speedgraphic, 12 film holders for the whole game, and then run to the dark room to make one print for the morning paper. 400 ASA, giant strobe, f11 or was it 16, everyone’s in focus, 400 sec exposure made a black background, no distracting crowd. One focal distance locked down the whole time. Wire frame for a view finder. What would today’s digital guys do if they were limited to 24 shots a game and had to pause for the length of time to put in a dark slide, turn the holder around, pull out the slide, and cock the shutter. Imagine!
what a great show. thanks for sharing all this info.
i wanted to suggest something before i forget to. as you know its important to upgrade your camera’s software when a new version of the software comes out. you might show why that’s important and how to do it.
thanks again…
Love the show. I’m currently trying to shoot sports with 70-200 2.8; can’t wait until I can afford a lens like the 300mm or 400mm f/2.8.
Awesome ep! When is the fashion highlight?!
Great show!
Awesome show as always…
But now I’m a little sad since I’ll have to wait way too long till the next one.
You guys rock! Scott, I’d love to see another “shoot on the sidelines” contest. I know about the issues the first time around, but surely that could be overcome with some careful planning.
Thanks for the sports tips!! I shoot my kids sports shots with an older 70-210 “D” version lens.
Focuses real fast but lousy in low light and obviously lacks DOF. I can only dream about 400m 2.8.
If you ever want me to borrow your 400mm let me know.
Good show as always. Thanks!
Ron
Great episode. If you’d like to do more episodes concentrated on one topic, maybe concert photography will be good
Greetings from Poland
Great show guys, this is part of my Friday chill out, after a tough week, I open a beer and watch your show.

Hi guys!
great show as always
Hey guys,
great show
Nice show. Good job!
Thanks for the great tips on sports lenses.
Indoor sports lens for bball and volleyball from courtside on a dx body. 85mm,1.8 or 50mm 1.8
Thank You!!!
now i really have lens envy
Very good show. The 400mm-2.8 lens and the D3X are on my bucket list.
Love the themed shows.
Great Show. Matt was right you should give away the 400mm. The book will do for know
Greate show, as always! It would be great that in the future you’d do some comparison between the wellknown lens makers (Nikon and Canon) and the cheaper alternatives from Tamron, Sigma etc. 10x
Thanks guys..did a nice job.
You guys rock on sports!
Great show, i can only dream about owning one of those big lenses
I’m love the lens talk. Great info for the next lens that I rent. cheers
Great show!!!!!!
Great Show. Guys, can you demonstrate how a pocket wizard triggers the camera. Also, can an Elinchrom trigger work similarly with a D700?
Thanks
My favorite episode.
Looking forward to some of the tips on camera settings for sports. Maybe mention some motorsports tips rather than just ball sports.
Say Hi!
Great show. Sure wish I could afford the big glass. Keep up the good work. I really enjoy learning each and every week.
No offense Matt, but I would rather have the 400mm f/2.8 lens!!
I’m not really into sports photography, but still an interesting show!
Cliff Mautner’s tip is awesome. I did a similar thing a few days ago at a workshop where shooting a model in lingerie in low light (with strobes), focus on the bra in the middle then recompose. Canon guys were struggling though (I shoot Nikon).
Speaking of which, after your sports feature, I’d love to see a similar thing done on shooting models. Lenses, lighting, posing, etc.
Hi,
Pick me – I watch every Thursday!!
some stuff is very very expensive
anyway i liked the show
Good episode. I’m not a sports photographer shooter (I will be shooting my kid though soon), but it was interesting to find out the info on the different lenses. You guys rock!
Nice lens how about a loan:)
Love that heavy glass. You guys rock!
Great job on sports – you sure you don’t want to give away the 400mm lens. I have the perfect camera to put it on. Ha Ha
HI.. love the show. Never miss it.
How about a show that zeroes in on ‘holiday shooting’.. the family, the food, ripping open the presents etc. Everybody does it. What lenses and techniques to we use to come away with memorable photographs not just snap shots?
Thanks so much for this show.
Yo dudes! Just discovered D-Town, great stuff.
Good Show.
Great show. I shoot high school sports and use Nikon 70-200 & 300 2.8 for football (great lenes). In our area the football games are in the evening ( dark ) Lighting on the fields go from so-so to bad. Those lenes still pull it off.
Your shows are great every week
Gotta love that 400mm f2.8, aka The Big Daddy!!
Great show (again)!! Scott and Matt, it would be good for each of you to list what equipment you have now.
Thanks!
I was worried that you were too busy to do a show this week, but you never disappoint.
Thanks guys
Wonderful show. Thanks for the info on long lenses.
Great Stuff, but Sports Photography $$$$
Hey Guys,
Excellent show! Looking forward to some sports shooting tips next week.
Scott, I agree with you about the Nikon 70-200. It’s probably the most versatile lens I own.
Cheers,
John
thanks guys, great show, great tips for sports photography.
Thanks for another great show. Can’t wait for more.
In camera image overlay…how does it work…examples?
Another great show guys, love these themes stretched out over multiple episodes.
I will have to rent one of those big boys some day ’cause I’ll sure never buy one outright! Yikes.
This is the first time I’ve seen dtowntv, and it has definitely increased my general lens envy. I have a Canon f2.8 70-200mm which I bought to photograph my son’s night-time soccer games last year, and I love the lens. I’d love to have all of the lenses you talked about, but I’ve already blown my photo budget for a while on that one lens, so if you decide to have a lens give-away, I’m in! Thanks for all you guys do.
Great show! Look forward to the next episode and POSSIBLY, a series on wildlife! Yeah, baby!
Great show.
Great show on sports photog.
I love your shows on lenses. Can’t wait until next week.
Folks
If you follow Larry’s tip and carry your camera in your hand as he showed you will give yourself a wicked tennis elbow ! especially if you have a battery pack and bracket and a meaty lens. I gave myself a right one last June and its still sore when I pick up my camera!
By the way a Tennis elbow is caused by the way you grip and lift and an object repeatedly not from playing tennis… with your camera.
Another great show!! Thanks for sharing your vast knowledge.
Wow, I’ve never seen the 400 f2.8 next to someone. It really is huge!
Hi guys love the tee Matt
Great show as usual
Great stuff for when I win the lottery.
Super show.
Great Show Guys !!
Another excellent episode. You guys seem to be on a roll right now.
Just the info I needed to get ready for the next school sports session. Thanks
Great show. Really like these in depth shows where you take a topic and fully explore it over the course of a few episodes.
DID I WIN THE 400MM ?
LOL,
GREAT INFO AS ALWAYS,
SOUNDS LIKE SHOW 3 WILL HAPPEN, PEOPLE WILL NEED INFO ON PROCESSING IMAGES AND REDUCING NOISE AT HIGH ISO.
THIS IS WHY you Watch DTownTV….

Thanks Mat and Scott for the GREAT tips.
Bill Fortney’s HDR Buddy…….. Thanks
Another great show, guys.
Hola!, .. it´s great to see what lens you guys recommend, I´be having some troubles with my 18-200 5.6-6.3 while shooting sports, so I have to use my flash ( in the night ). Any recommendations for using a not so fast lens. Also, is there a episode where you talk about photo journalism. Thanks.
Great show. Watch it all the time.
Thanks great show
wish i could buy one of those 400mm! sweeeeeet!
Great show again! Such a cheap hobby photography!
great stuff.thanks
Best show ever. I want to be Scott’s new best friend so I can borrow all his equipment. By the by, the email address from the previous poster is showing up on my screen (not hidden as it should be). Just thought you might want to know.
keep the shows coming!
Can’t for next week. Great tips on the lenses!!
Major drool happening here from seeing those super tele’s! Another great show!
I get to win the 400 f2.8, like Matt said, right!
Love the comparison between all the lens.
Its helped me understand the full potential of an f2.8 lens.
Cant wait for the continuation of the show next week.
Great equipment, what do you think about 200mm f/2 and teleconverters?
Buying a side camera strap already! thanks Larry
Thanks for the info. Most of us don’t have the contacts or credentials for pro or even college sports – so high school or club sports is it for us. How about some tips on shooting sports at that level. Indoors, or outdoors at night is common. And in either case lighting is often poor. Light intensity is low, and light quality is inconsistent. You might find frames in a sequence with a totally different color cast – or even a single frame with a color gradient. Other than asking Adobe to add white balance to the graduated filter tool in lightroom ( or in addition to asking Adobe for that ) what tips do you have for dealing with shooting sports in low ‘quality’ light – not just low intensity light.
Another great show! How about a show on off-camera flash techniques and using remote triggers (Pocket Wizards vs Radio Poppers for example)?
Great show, just what I like.
Good tips again. ty guys love it!
Thank you for covering the lens topic for sports photography. I really like it !!
Great show today boys, funny you talk about 400mm for football games, come and try an Australian football game where the ground is twice as big!
Looking forward to next weeks show on settings etc because once you have the gear, it is more important to know how to use it!
You should give away another trip with Scott to shoot a pro or college event.
Keep up the good work guys! Love your videos.
Great show. Would love to win the book.
Just wondering…..When you buy the 400mm BEAST does it come with a Gym membership??? Looks like you need one just to lift the lens..lol
Great show as always!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks again for another great show!!
Great Show as usual!!!!
Now that is some serious hardware. I like the contrast of the bazillion dollar lens against Cheap Shots
And yay for the 50/1.8, the every lens.
sure would love to get my hands on that book!
Food vs Glass… How many meals must I give up for the 400 f2.8..
you fellas are the bomb!!
Hi.
I would not be shooting Sports Photography anytime soon
Great advice though!
Love to see the high end glass. Thanks for sharing.
Great show!
Great show as always guys. I think you might want to also talk about what settings as far as what metering modes you are using and what focus points is the best setting. I was hoping you were going to give away the 400 2.8 (lol). Keep up the good work.
book
great show!
cool
Great show. If you ever want to join me shooting squash (a true challenge with lighting and speed), let me know.
This is not robert and the email is not hidden. please fix this!
great show!
Hey guys! Nice job.
Some day….fun show
Great sports show.
I haven’t ever shot sports, but very interesting. I’m curious to see what other series you do…….landscape……wildlife……keep it roll’in. Love it all!!!
Funniest episode so far, one-liners like an action movie.
I have to apologize, the last 2 suggestions I made for shows, I found in earlier episodes, thanks for being way ahead of me. Anyway let me try again, how about tips on, and I hope I am not asking for something you did again, but macro photography, including product photography. Ring lights, to back drops, thanks again for a great show, great topic.
Hi guys,
Good show guys, but most of those lenses are out of $ reach for those of us who shoot hoghschool sports.
John.
What do you guys think about the 80-200 f2.8 as a less expensive alternative to the 70-200 f2.8?
Great show again!!
enjoying the segment about the sport lenses. How about a future segment on micro photography—–micro lens, filters etc?
Thanks for the great sports shooting tips.
Hey guys, great topic today and some good info on lens characteristics.
Matt, would love your book – but let’s be honest, I’d REALLY like that 400mm 2.8 (in a Canon L series) even better
Woo Hoo…
Keep up the great work !
Great show, can you say lens lust!!! The 400 2.8 looks awesome. Keep up the great work, I look forward to fridays just to see what you guys come up with.
Enjoyed this show a lot. I really want the 400mm. Not in my budget.
Thank you,thank you, thank you, thank you. I have bee n asking for a sports show and I am really looking forward to part 2.
I love my 70 to 200 VRII Nikon Zoom lens. You are right, the quality of the images is amazing.
Thanks,
Ralp
Hi! Fun show. Thanks.
Thanks for the info on Sports shooting & long lenses! Another great episode!
Hi there,
Great show…a very informative segment about lenses and depth of field..
Great show love seeing all the high $ glass.
Nice gla$$.
Another great show.
Too bad you’re not giving away the 400 f/2.8.
Once again awesome show.
awesome show once again, great job you guys, thanks for all your hard work every week on D-Town TV
Thanks for waving the 400mm dream lens around…..not I like didn’t want it already!
I love sports photography thanks
You guys rock
As always a great show…. I want to win the book
Thanks for the Great Show, I love to get a 400 2.8 lens, but Matt’s book would be great..
Greetings from Germany. Great show!
great show
Another great show!
You guys are great, but I still wish these episodes were longer…
the show rocks. I wanted to know if you are shooting at f2.8 how far from the subject you have to be to get whole body in focus?
Although few of us would probably have the money to buy the 400 mm monster lens, that was very informative ! Thanks a lot.
– Woods
Of course I meant ‘wouldn’t have’
– Woods
Nice toys!
Can you please share your own settings for sport photography?
Thank you!
Great show. Also loved Cliff Mautners tip.
one of your better shows in last few months. keep up good work.
Yet another great show – you guy’s are “the best of the best” !!!
I’m always looking forward to your show at the end of the week
Hi,
I think i prefer a 35mm lens f/1.8 on an APS camera for indoor shots at home.
great
Matt had a great idea on giving away that 400 mm 2.8!
thanks,good tips
Great show, looking forward to the second half!
Thanks a lot, great show!
Expansive show this time!!!!
But the tips were great as usual.
Soooooooo cool!!!
First time Scott Kelby not wearing black shirt , keep it up man you look good and cool on that. Cheers for all the tips.
Great show, guys.
Great show as usual. Alot of good info for everyone, especially people like me starting out.
toooooo expensive stuff;-)))
Great show!!!, when are you making a show i Denmark it would be great!!
Best from Denmark
I would rather take the 400 f2.8 but Matts book isnt that bad either
Hi!
Good show. I would like that book so I could use my fictive 400/2.8 better
Have a nice weekend,
Gregor
Great show!
love you guys!
Great show lets have some on wide angle lenses to mix between DX & FX format
Great show guys. Great explanation of the dof. I bought the 70-300 lens when you guys recommended it way back. Now I will have to consider the $$$ and which is the best lens. Would love a copy of your book Matt.
Hi love your show I would like to know how you set the autofocus when you shoot sport ? do you use Matrix 3D or autofocus?
As Always a GREAT show…
Spent Friday night at a H.S. Football game with my 200 – 400 Had A Great Time on the sideline
Thanks for the tips
a lady once told me ‘that’s thing is huge’, pointing down at my lap….
… then I realized my camera was on my lap with a big lens
Great show guys
Thanks again
Another great episode.
Keep rocking guys!
Yet another good show guys.
Thanks for the great show guys!
Great show
Great stuff!
looking at these lenses is like having a wet dream
great show! Kurt
You are amazing bodybuilders!
Thanks for the fast glass tele show. I am planning on a 300 2.8. I would like further explanation of the focus memory lock/ set future. Does the Nikon 300 2.8 VRII have this option with a D300 body? TIA
Yes, and the body isn’t a factor. It’s all on the lens. To simply set the focus point, press the set button, then 1 of the 4 memory buttons. Then, shoot at your leisure and when you anticipate the action will be at one of your preset points, press that button, and you’re good to go.
Love this! I’m just starting to shoot for the local minor league baseball team and the tips couldn’t be more timely!
good stuff
Hey Guys,
Great show and lots of info. thanks
great show,
thank you
Hi guys. Love your show! Always make me smile
Truly inspirational.
Keep up the good work!
Greetings from Norway
Great show!
Love the lens info!
You Rock
Hm, ob hier jemand meine deutschen Texte übersetzt? ^^ Klasse Show!
Grüße aus Österreich.
Nice concept for a few shows and great way to break up the information. How bout a show on the quickest way we can find ourselves shooting on the sidelines?
Thank you, awesome show.
You guys are going to make me spend a lot of money..
Hi!!
Thanks for the show!
thanks guys
Very interesting I hope I win the lotto. Wanted to point out that you can get in a lot of practice shooting children’s sports. It is easy to stand where the pros would stand and hone your skills. If you bring pictures back to the same team you also can make some money selling them to the parents.

I’ve been thinking about buying a 70-200. The question is whether to go with the IS version or not. I’ve heard a few people tell me that if I’m primarily shooting outdoors during the daytime, I don’t need to spend the extra $$ on the IS version as the shutter speeds will be fast enough to get a crisp image. What’s your take on that issue?
Great show! Did you ever total up the price of the lenses sitting on the table? Wow! Where is your studio again? (ha-ha)
Hi Great show Thanks
Dan
I guess I could sell the car and the kids to buy that 400…
Another great episode.
For straps have you ever tried a Black Rapid strap? I swear by mine.
I really enjoyed this episode what a great job and thanks
Thanks for a super show again can you get sufficient DOF to keep the player sharp when shooting at 2.8 !!
See you next week!
Enjoyed your discussion on the BIG lenses. Keep up the outstanding effort!!
Dr. Jim Axelson
If I win lotto then maybe I could get that 400mm
Great show!
Good show.
All ways watche your show – send book
I really enjoyed the show guys, great job!
I understand now why the 70-200 f/2.8 gives such a great picture as compared to a 70-300 f/4-5.6. I get it. Thanks for the great info again. The only problem is the more I learn, the more money I need to spend. Thank God the kids are grown-up.
Thank you for the 10mm fisheye tip! Love your full stadium and empty stadium shots!
i want weights for curls. nice show. I love it.
thank you for dtowntv, look forward to seeing it every week.
Thanks for the great show guys!
Scott and Matt,
Great episode. Thank you!
In addition to basketball and football, it is now also hockey (ie.Lightning and Panthers) and figure skating season. Your tips are perfect for these sports also.
another good show, want that 400 2,8 glass.
great show, your tips about sports photography are good
Guys,
Another great show!!!
I Love your show!!!
I loved the work out rutine with the lens. is this going to be a new sgment work out with Scott and Matt.
Could catch on
Hey guys, do you choose the winners randomly, or do I have to be creative here? BTW, the email says “hidden”, but I always see the the info of the last person to leave a message!
Nice show guys!
Hey Matt,
Keep giving away your book and you’ll never get the 400mm f2.8.
Weird to think these lenses only give you a “normal” binoculars view.
Great show guys. It helped a lot understanding the way sport photgraphy work.
Good show.
Great Episode
another great show guys!!!
Too bad I’m a Hobbyist Photographer, can’t afford those lenses !
Great show
I’m learning a lot.. Thanks to you guys..
Great show guys! Could you do the same for landscape photography?
Great show again guys!
Great show guys!!!
How do we start shooting sports? like getting in the the Arena or Stadium to shoot
Thanks
Hi, I want that 400 f/2.8 Gime!
How about a show on shooting the night sky?
Hi
Great show!
I still ask u when do u come to sweden?
best regards
jens christian
All I can say to both of you is that “lens envy” is alive and well!
Great show!
Great show guys!
Thanx for the comparative lens talk. I like that much better than saying “this is the lens to use”. I would like to have seen some images through each of the lenses you mentioned also.
Super show as always, great selection of usable lenses to add to my wishlist!
Nice show.. How about some tips on picking your location at a game?
Thanks!
I’ve used that 400 f/2.8 for some very specialized corporate work. In one case, I was up in a helocopter with the 1.7tc on it, trying to look down an oil company’s flare to see if there was something damaged. Like trying to take a picture of a black bear at the back of a cave. It worked flawlessly – I got the shot that showed exactly what was going on. Well worth the money.
Looking forward to the next episode!
The book is excellent, but GIVE AWAY THE LENS!
Great show! I love it!
Great show. Thank you.
Nice stuff Larry thats exactly what I want perfect timing and thanks for the info and demo
great show.
Super show, as usual!
Hi guys!
This is like the first time I am commenting but just wanted to say that you make me “get a grip” on all aspects of photography more and more every day! Thanks
Hi Hi Hi simply simply Hi
Great show, I would love Matt’s Book
Hi Guys, great show, looking forward to next week’s edition.
great show, love the info about sports photography
Good show. I’d really like to win
Thanks for the show! Amazing lenses =)
Hi. Great show as usual.
Hi guys, just wondering, given the number of shots you would be taking, do you still suggest shooting in raw for sports photos. I don’t know, just seems like a awful lot of post processing, of course you guys probably know how to do it pretty fast. Just curious, thanks.
I learned a lot about lenses in this show. Thanks. I’m sure Matt’s book will be a big help. Richard
Loved this can not wait for the next one!
Awesome episode! thx
Another great show. Timing was great since our camera club is going to be discussing sports photography this month.
I wanna 400!
Scott, I know the 400 f/2.8 is your baby so I’ll settle for 300 f/2.8. If that doesn’t work out I guess a copy of Matt’s book wouldn’t be the worst prize (no offense, Matt)
u guys have a great show, info and the cheapshots work,,,,
great show! do you wanna review the new nikon 85mm 1.4 lens? is it worth it?
Ah, still drooling over the 400mm lens. Great show, and I hope one day I win one of your fantastic giveaways. In case you guys actually read these haha, I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice. I shoot food quite often, I’m a Nikon Shooter and am thinking of getting an 85mm lens. The difference in price between the f/1.4 and f/1.8 is very big in my opinion, which would you reccomend?
I learned a lot from Scott and Matt. Great show´s.
Great Show!
Awesome show. Can’t wait for the follow up episode.
You can just give me the 300, I won’t be greedy.
Thanks for another great show.
Another great show , guys!
If I can’t win the book, I’ll gladly pay for shipping the 400 f/2.8!
The 70-200 will be fine. I will let you keep your new 400. That is just the kind of guy I am…Actually the book will be great..Thanks for all you guys do…
Great Show Fellas!
great show
This is it! This is the week I’m going to win!!!
thanks for the great show!
Great website and great presentation. Recentley started watching Dtown and am working my way through all the past esidodes. A wealth of information and tips. Thanks.
Hi guys,
Love your show. Hey do you use a UV filter on that 400mm f2.8 to protect that very expensive glass? Does a UV filter that big even exist?
Great show and great lens which I only admire from a distance.
great infomation on lens love the show
Nice strap at Cheap Shots!
Thanks,
Harold
great show! cant wait for part 2
Another great show! I’ve been using the grip strap that Larry talked about for years.
Once again, another GREAT show. Thanks again for making me suck a lot less.
)
A follow up for next week’s show — can you guys discuss how we go about getting our wives to co-sign the 2nd mortgage loan so we can buy that 400mm f2.8 lens…
Thanks guys! I’ve been waiting for this show. I have a request for the next show…PLEASE discuss focusing and focusing modes for action sports. I’m really struggling with keeping focus on gymnists in low light.
Thanks a million…
Rich
I loved the show. I want the book. Can you show sample photos of what you are talking about?
loved the program
great show
Lovely episode. Learned a lot!
Good info
Awesome show… ive been watching from day one but im kinda getting the feeling that a lot of the tips are being recycled from the 1st season… anyways i love the show none the less… will you guys be coming to toronto anytime soon?
good job.
Hey Scott,
Just out of curiosity. Have you ever been one of those camera guys that gets clobbered on the sideline by a player at a football game?
loved the alternative monopod uses
You Guys Rock?
Great shows!
Good show
You guys rock.
Hey Guys
I’m looking forward to part 2 and “part 3″.
Great show, as always. I’ve got the 70-200 2.8 for my D90, and shot a lot of cross-country for the high school this season — for the individual runners 2.8 was great, but when I wanted to capture a “pack” running together, had to decrease the aperture to 4+ to get the key players in focus. Still don’t feel like I got the “sweet spot” aperture that allowed me to get a good balance between focus and separation from the background. Thanks!
Hi! Great show, great gear.
Great Show!
Great episode guys
Another great episode. However I did spend some time looking at Matt’s shirt. Wow, so much to look at
Great information, as always.
Great show. I need a bigger camera budget don’t I?
Greta stuff, hopefully the second show will have some info about noise or sports in low light situations!
Hey, I really enjoy the show — learning so many great tips.
I feel like I know you guys!
Larry Ligget
Great Show!
Could you guys do a show on color management?
Great Show. Love it. I watch all of the time. ONE suggestion. You wore a black shirt showing black lenses so it was a little hard to see the contrast between the two. Keep up the great work.
I like ramen noodles!
Would be very happy to get a copy of Matt’s book even if I prefer the 400mm
Love the show!
Great show. I would love your book.
If you need ideas for shows, using the SB900. When and where. Some useful settings to use.
Thanks
I loved the last show about lenses, it would be great if you also discussed about lense for wildlife or landscape
Great show again. As more of a retoucher than a shooter, I would love to have Matt’s book!
Dear Scott,
I would like to ask your opinion. If i’m on a tight budge, which one would you prefer a 70-200 f4 IS or a 70-200 f2.8? I am using this lenses for just a hobby and for my kids…which one are you willing to sucrifice, the aperture or the IS?
I hope you can help me on this.
Renante
very helpful!
wonderful!
OMG my lens envy is in hyperwarp
Love to have Matt’s book
Hello
I’d LOVE the book Matt !!!
Great show! I even know who Big daddy Don Garlits is!!
Thanks for the show.
Can’t wait for the next episode, why is 59 not appearing on itunes?
If I only had money?
Great show and tips.
Hi,
I just I bought the Nikon 70-300mm. I like the performance but my heart is to get the 70-200mm F2,8. I am not a pro, only starting out with photography, so I thing the 70-300mm on D80 will do it for me until I make so money to buy the big F2,8.
Great Show! I want the book!
P.S. As of Sunday afternoon, iTunes still has not downloaded this episode. Is there a problem with the feed?
Would you please put my name in the hat for the 400 f2.8 lens drawing please
lens envy!
hi
thank you guys
i love you to much (:
Great Show Guys! Always looking forward to a new episode of D-Town! Great Stuff!
Thanks for the great tips on lenses! Another great show.
I use the Nikon 70-200 2.8 VR II and the bokeh is extraordinary… You give the thrills when I see you handling these big boys on the bare wood table, how about using a pice of cloth, felt or whichever, just in case ?…
By the way I´ve just received your P CS5 book Scott and I´m swallowing it !
Lovely show guys.
I ove you guys… and now … how about shooting indoors at a hockey game
Gotta love that big glass! ! ! ! Keep up the great work. Your shows are a real treat!
Great show on sports!
Another great show from you, guys. Thanks alot.
Great show !!!!
Great show on DLSR lenses
Great show, great tips!
=p~ for those lenses
Great show, its seams you really have boost the show way up!
Great show. Have and use the 70-200 a lot. Dreaming of a 300 2.8

Thanks for the tips
Great stuff – love it.

You Rock…
Nice important topic.
However, I wonder how much of your target audience is professional vs. amateur. Therefore , although the lens you covered are great, a little more focus on the ability to shoot sports when you don’t own multiple thousand dollar plus lenses.
How to get it done with a little less. We may still be talking a thousand or two, but not twenty to thirty thousand.
For your consideration.
Wm
Hope to win the 400mm f2.8 ; ) The book would be cool too.
well, once again I learnt so much from this post on lenses …. clarity with a capital C – thanks guys ! You both R O C K

Thank you
Cool tips! Looking forward to the following shows!
Enjoyed sports 101
Hey, another great show!! I think the 400 mm would have been a great prize, however, I would like Matt’s book!!
Great segment of this week. Finally cover some sports photography. Great show
Great show, guys! Nice to see a close-up of Scott’s new lens.
Would love to win the book!
–John
keep up the good work
Great show… Thanks!
Great show!
Another great episode. I hope some day that I get one of those big honkin’ lenses. They sound great.
I am so glad you talked about the 50mm lens , I use it for sports shots more and more.
Awesome show. The information was great!
I am going to rent a few lenses and try them out at the next basket ball game and the Orchestra Performance. I just hope I don’t whack one of the other parents in the head while I am shooting.
This is one of those nasty comments! Just joking. Great show as always!
anotther good show. thanks
Hi ! big toys you guys have there
Awesome info on the lens episode 59
Thanks!
I think I’ve learned something from every episode.
I also really like the suggested photographer’s sites at the end of each show. Thanks
great show. Love your laid back style.
Great Guys
Great episode!
Thanks for all these great videos!!!!
Hi guys Great Show
Great show
Keep it up, fellas.
Thanks you guys, I never miss a show!
Wow, What a great week! I can’t wait until part two! I just purchased my 70-200 2.8 IS and it’s amazing! It really is already my go to lens and the work horse of the collection now!
thanks
I agree that a faster lens can give you the option of either extra speed to freeze sports action, or, you can use the shallower depth of field to separate your subject from the background.
For the latter case, is there an advantage to using a faster lens to isolate the subject from the background, or, can you do just as good of a job in post processing with Photoshop ?
Great web series, and a great episode… Thanks.
Great show as always. Drooling over the glass you guys get to play with. Wish my wallet was fat enough to get me a 400 2.8…
Great show as always
Thanks guys. Another great show!
Was wondering, is it the surface area of the glass that determines the f-stop? Bigger area, more photons that get focused on the sensor?
Very interesting show. Of course some of the gear is way out of reach for regular people, but of course sports is probably the most money demanding specialty in photography.
Looking forward to your next show!
Greetings from Chile.
Love the show especially this sports series. Lots of good info about lenses.
Great Show. Dream Lenses. Had a NIGHTMARE shoot today. Covered rodeo arena. DARK DARK. At ISO 2500 and f2.8 it was 1/500 on the dark end and 1/2500 at the open end. The D3s made it work. Manual Exp and spin the dial. Back and forth.
Hi!
great lens .
Good show!
Hi guys ! You Rock !!!
Thanks for a great show. Nice and interessting information delivered with a good sense of humor.
Keep up the good work !!
Greetings from Sweden.
Great Show Guys!!!
Good Show!!
Thank you
Great show as always. Learned a lot.
I presume the 400mm will be given away next week right?
Great show
I need 100 K ; – (( ( at least ! )
THX

Cannot download from iTune guys！
I get a nugget of useful advice or two (or more) from every show. Great series. Thanks for doing it.
Another great episode!
Have a nice DOF.
Hey guys, just a heads-up: tis show doesn’t show up in iTunes. How come?
Would love to get my hands on the 400 f2.8. I suppose that I can always dream!
You make me wanna be a better photographer!
Also, Pick me pick me random contestant chooser picker thingamabob!
Great great show guys!! Can’t wait to see part 2! I hope ya’ll talk about tilt-shift lenses in the future!!!!
Lots of great information this week. Look forward to the next segment.
hey guy’s really nice, but I wanna see a episode about flash, just for manual mode how to use flash in manual mode, all the settings that you have todo en camera and flash to work in manual…thanks.
Enter me in the contest!
Great show as always!!
Great show guys, that was a lot of $$$ sitting on your desk…
400 f2.8…WOW.
Thanks, Guys, for the show.
One major gripe/complaint: an issue I think could be of tremendous help. You talk about lenses and the importance of aperture (ƒ2.8 vs. ƒ5.6, for instance) but without an example, is very hard to ‘picture’ what you guys mean.
I think you guys should provide photos as examples so that us viewers can fully understand what you mean. I myself shoot all the time so understand and fully know. But for a novice, beginner, amateur, how are they supposed to understand what you’re talking about? They don’t know about bokeh etc. In effect, just ‘saying’ “ƒ2.8 is much better than ƒ5.6″ doesn’t mean much until we actually see a side by side comparison to fully grasp what you’re saying.
Providing photos to illustrate what you’re saying would be very helpful. And I don’t think I speak for myself.
Cheers.
Matt I have your Layers Book #1 and love it would love to have your #2
Hi Scott & Matt,
This is a fan from Thailand. Great show all the way through. I followed your show since you have started last season.
Good overview on lenses.
Love Cliff’s stuff, more from him please!
Oh, and of course more of you guys…maybe an on-location shoot with off-camera lighting?
Hey guys, really like the fact that you did a show that was topic specific… Sports, lenses to consider and why, dof, etc. Would like to see more shows like this tailored towards a specific shoot. I recently got a 70-200mm VRII and can testify that spending a little more for some quality glass pays off. Never saw images with such clarity and vibrance until I snapped this lens on.
Thanks for the tip on the 400mm.
thanks for the book, but I’d love you all the more for throwing in the 400mm
Still drooling over that 400mm F/2.8! Always a great show!
Still drooling over the 400mm f/2.8! Always a greay show!

great show guys. Can’t wait till next weeks show
Great show as always!
Wonderful show. Thanks for the info on sports .
thank you, answered some questions I’ve been having! looking forward to the other segments.
Question, how do you hold a long lens on a monopod & shot with the second body, Is there a trick to the balancing act that one has to do? Thanks
Thanks for the sports tips guys. Unfortunately our college season is over for home games and no playoffs on the schedule this year but this will come in handy next year. I imagine that your follow up sports tips will cover different focusing techniques?
Thanks!
Tried to take some basketball photos using thje 70-200 but was “to shy” on the ISO, have to start trust D700 sensor more then I do.
Great shows never miss them but a small complaint “sorry” but still waiting to down load Nov 10th show from itunes can’t get it although it has been on kelby tv since Friday.
Great show. Gear envy on the lenses.
Hi guys, you rock! Just kidding.
No, I really mean it. Greatest show in town. Thanks!
Dark (black) t-shorts are cool. Black camera gear with a dark (black) background is a no good combination.
Fantastic show guys!
Are you sure the 400mm is not up for the contest?
Great episode!
Yeah the lens! Great fantasy show, just like my dreams… except not with you guys . Sorry. Really though I’m new to NAPP and your show . Love it. Thanks
Hi, love this episode. Think next time you visit sport photography you should do an on location shoot of an AYSO kids soccer game with your 400 on primary and your 70-200 on your secondary just so we can see all the parents stare at you.
Great show, just no cash for a 2.8 zoom
hmmmm can we sell our souls for that lens…
Great Show thanks.
Another informative episode from the Photoshop Guys. Thanks
Any thoughts on which CF card is the best?
£6800 for a lens, wow I could buy a new bike (almost).
wonderful information as always. keep up the good work, guys.
why is the new show not on itunes ??
Thanks for yet another great episode!
Loved this show. Can’t wait for the next in the sports series.
You Guys ROCK!!!
Great show!
Love the 400mm f/2.8. As always another outstanding show.
Love it. Great show!!!
Great show and the 400 mm would make a pretty GREAT prize.
Love the show.
Just returned from my daughter’s fall lacrosse tournanment where I was thiniking about requesting you guys do a show on sports photography. I went to your web site tonight and what do I find? You read my mind! Great suff!!
oooo all the big toys!!!!
Great Show! cant wait for the 2nd one next week!
I’d love Matt’s new book if it is still available.
The RSS feed into iTunes seems to be broken. Anyone else having problems?
Cool stuff, just found this video series. I have a bit of catching up to do.
Another great episode! Congratulations on the new book, Matt! And, I didn’t hear you say “CANYON” once.
great show
Good show
Hey Guy’s I m loving all these great tips for sports.
Good info…
Good info guys!!!
I totally enjoy watching your shows.
Please DON’T tell all the “wannabe” sports shooters to ask for sideline passes. It’s tough enough for a pro. Simple answer is: work your butt off, pay your dues and in a few years maybe you will EARN your way in. There is a reason that it’s tough to get in. We all started shooting at the bottom. thanks– Keep dTown coming.
HI
Ok, I said HI so I can get the book!
Thanks guys!!!
Hey. I prefer the big Lents but the book also can be. Gret show guys, as alweys.
My wife said she would like the lens instead,
please comply, you don’t my wife!
What a dream lineup of lenses. Literally, it would take a dream to ever have one of these.
Hey. Did I say you guys ROCK!
Note: Using Google Chrome. When I go to submit my comment the fields are filled with the last person’s information. Hope nobody mis-use their e-mail address
great show as usual
Okay guys, how do you shoot 2.8 on a sunny day. I use the Nikon 300 2.8
I love your show! Great information on lenses I’m saving up the cash for the 400mm f2.8
I love you web shows!!! I learn a lot.!!! Thanks
A $9,000 lens!? Great, now I have some leverage with my wife. I just may be able to sell her on me getting a $1,000 lens. Great show guys….better than Survivor!
top show as usual.
any chance all the dtown episodes will come out on dvd
great tips. expensive lenses!
Great show guys. Got Glass envy.
Another great show. One misspeak at the end was “max depth of field” and you meant minimum dof.
I’ve Learned so much from you guys
I never miss an episode of your show
YOU GUS ROCK!!!
YOU GUS ROCK!!! amazing sports lense coverage
WOW thanks guys.
Just to let you know I have just this weekend sold my first photograph.
I owe you guys and all at Kelbytraining for all that I have learnt in the past 9 months, this is only the start.
Thanks again.
Nice lenses
great show
Cool glass. I’m with Matt, lets give Scotts 400mm f/2.8 away!!
To me!!!
Hi there
Question about shooting sports and focus point.s. Especially is wide open (F.2.8) situations). What’s the best technique.? When I shoot verically should I move the single focus point up to the face or what? SHould I use multiple fcus points. What’s the best technique to get mor keepers?
Thanks
Great Show
Great Show! What do you guys think of the Tamron, Sigma, etc lenses compared to the Canon/Nikon ones. They are in a more affordable price range for most.
Great show.
I recently started shooting HS football at night and use the 70-200 f2.8 IS almost exclusively.
Great show as usual. Hard to see the black lenses up against Scott’s shirt. Do you ever use TC’s with sports?
Great show! Loved looking at the big lenses!
Great show! I had to come to the website to see it, though: 5 days out and it’s still not in the iTunes feed.
Love the show big fan. I’m in the US doing a look from Phoenix to the White Sands National Monument and we were after getting some gear and we can’t find good camera shops on any town? Any tips? We can’t by online since we are mostly changing a city a day… Our next big city is El Paso… Any tips? Thanks
For once I’ll comment with “You Guys Rock”
Nice show on sports. Hope you’ll add more imagery of what you shoot yourselves during sports!
I’d very much like the signed book!
Cheers!
I’ve seen a girl at a sports game carry a
d300 70-200 2.8
and then a d3 with a 400mm 2.8 it was like whoa what is that thing.
Some of the older guys have like a 600mm or what ever the big lens on wheels lol
great show!
Thanks for the great tips on sports photography. I can’t afford the big glass but I might be able to rent one for the weekend game!!
Great Show, guys!
Great stuff, here’s a question I’d love for you to address. When shooting teams with white unifroms on bright sunny days, what can I do to avoid getting that glow off the white unis?
Great show, great tips as always! You know what they say about men with big lenses… well, they make great shots for sure!
Do I need a t-shirt like that!!!!
Great show!
Great topic!
My question is when shooting with a monopod do you use VR or IS or turn it off?
Thanks and keep up the great shows.
Great show: great glass!
Another great show.
Hi guys,
Love the show.
Lots of info in a brief show, love it. By the way Matt, your pregame pump leaves a bit to be desired.
Looking forward to the next episode!
Hi Guys, Love the show. Scott, the Lightroom book is Great!
Thanks,
Kevin
Great show! Would like to see a tip on how to keep focused on a moving sports action and firing off shots only as you want them.
It would be great to win Matt’s book! When shooting sports with a monopod (no ballhead), do you loosen the telephoto lens collar so you can turn the camera from horizontal to vertical?
Thanks for another good show.
On the topic of sports, I would love some tips on shooting minor hockey. Those poorly lit arenas that are surrounded by dirty glass and protective netting, and tying to get the ice to look bright white while still keeping the players sharp, in a very fast game. I’m looking for miracle information here that would allow me to shoot f5.6 at iso1600 and still get 1/500th of faster shutter speeds
Can’t afford that huge glass, but always get something out of your shows. Thanks!
As usual, Good Job!
By the way, what about that job offer?
Great episode, what a fab job shooting sports would be , now how long will it take me to save for the 400mm ?- oh – guess i’ll be shooting chess for a little while.
Great tips.
Wish I had 9 grand
Thanks for the lens info!!
Great show guys, is anyone having issues getting the iTunes feed? Its not working for me.
Thanks guy, Now I can go spend Millions
Nice Show.
Thanks for the tips and some ammo to buy my new lenses
Guys I love your shows! Thank you for all the dslr info ! – Singapore ………. =P
Neat !
Always looking forward to your next show guys!
Keep it up! (the show I mean!) LOL
Great show on high end sports lens; i need to have up more to get one.\
Thanks,
guys
Great show guys.
very informative
Thanks for all the great information on lenses.
Great show, looking forward to the rest of the sports info….
Nice lenses! I’d like one please.
love the show sorry i have missed a few weeks
great sports preview as I do Car Rally shooting
interesting show on sports, not my field but still impressive
I shoot a lot of amateur boxing matches and use the 50mm 1.8 almost exclusively. Flash is not allowed which makes it very challenging with a D70s in usually very poor light. Any recommendations short of replacing my equipment, would be appreciated. Great segment.
Regards.
I just found your website and love it! Thanks for all the tips and resources!
Yet another great show ! Thanks guys !
Nice show – good idea to approach stuff via a subject.
It’s about time you talk about every lens I can’t afford. When are doing off-camera flash shows?
Great Show!!!
Hello from Romania – great show!
Once again: Great episode guys!
LOVE THE SHOW!!!
GOT THE FIRST BOOK… I’D LOVE THE SECOND!
TAKE CARE EH!
wow .. that is great run down all that cool lenses
love the great tips.
Great show!
Find your shows very helpful… and particularly appreciate the sports series you are doing. I photograph equine events (hunter/jumpers, dressage, polo, etc.) and need all the help I can get. Use he Canon 70-200 f/2.8 and love it. In my next life I’m going to have the 400, as well! Looking forward to the next episode.
hi!
Guys, you’re the best!
Can’t wait to see your next show.
Will be possible to have a topic “how to calibrate your camera for accurate focus”?
Thanks a lot.
I wanna win that book so bad!
Great show. Ty!
Hi guys, from Hungary! Great congratulations for the show, I like you very much!
Why is episode 59 not showing in itunes?
Even if i follow the link here on this page, it’s only showing till episode 58
Please advise (hope i earned the price now :p )
Regards from Belgium
wow those lens’s. Me want’s the 400mm f2.8!!
Great show
Thank you for the show!
Love it !!!!
Another great show, lots of great tips about sports photography. Thanks for all you do!
fun to hear your comments on the different lenses for sports.. love my 80-200 2.8 but sometimes it’s just not close enough. hey, that reminds me, those focus buttons around the old 80-200 2.8.. how do they work? going to have to go look that up!
good show
great show and expansive too
Great show – keep them coming. I love the sports coverage.
great show guys…aaaaa….can i win your book matt, caust i can’t find it in my country (Malaysia)…keep up the great work…CHEERS…
Was late watching the show this week, but it was informative. As a suggestion for the focus of a show, how about discussing the differences between PSE 9 and CS5 as far as how they would impact an enthusiast as opposed to a pro?
great job – need to borrow that 400 2.8 scott
chuck
You guys are the best in giving lots of help for us photographers and I always let my fellow photographers here in the Dominican Republic to get to know the work that you are doing and also can you make a segment on 360 panoramas and on the best equipment for these type of shots and the photoshop and web side of things
Thanks a lot
Hi,
I think with the following zoom lens you can get even better results, maybe you can review it as well. They have it for Nikon and Canon.
http://photojojo.com/store/awesomeness/camera-lens-mug/
Hey Guys! Awesome show!
Could you maybe cover a bit more about post-processing? Specifically tips on sorting and finalizing photo shoots and how to save time in the digital “darkroom”?
Love the show. 2 thoughts. 1st, it would be nice if you mention when the podcast will come out. Do you post at the same time every week? 2nd, how long after the podcast comes out do we have to enter the giveaways you do so often? Do i have until the next podcast or do I have to enter the day it comes out?
Here is a topic idea as well. You talk about tungsten light and using gels a lot. Can you explain how to determine what the light source is and when to use the gels?
Is anyone else having trouble viewing this site using Firefox? The links are there and I can view the video but all of the web content does not display. I am only having an issue on this site.
I would love to have the 200-400 if you can’t give away the 400 f2.8. Cheers!
[...] 59 эпизоде шоу для любителей цифровой фотографии D-Town TV, [...]
learning lots guys…thanks
Why does it all have to be so expensive?!!!
Great episode guys. Are you sure that you won’t give away the 400 f2.8?
You guys rock!!
Is Matt’s book available in an e-book format? I would love to have it on my iPad right next to my computer. I am trying to go all digital with books.
Enjoyed the show.
For basketball, I like the 85mm F1.8, but I have just done one year of basketball photography.
Another great show!
Scott, your tips on sports has made a big difference in my sports photography. Thanks, Jack
Great lens coverage gentlemen.
Thanks
My first time viewing great show. from Canada eh!
I’m all with You wrt shallow depth on sports. BUT IMHO f/2.8 is a bit too low. I get better results f/4 when I’m shooting sports outdoors (see website for example). Indoor, it’s always as dark as cave and f/2.8 is the only way to go.
Thanks for another helpful episode.
I’m with Matt – how ’bout the 400 as a giveaway!
You might mention autofocus settings for action sports.
wow! That was a great show, guys!
Thanks
you guys rock!
Great Show! I have been downloading all the old ones.
Good show!
Love the show!
Another great show!! For now I will just have to dream about the big glass. sigh
Remember most of the High School football games are at night under bad lighting conditions (Friday Night Lights) Don’t buy the wrong lens for nighttime sports if you want to stop the action. The 4.5′s will not stop the action in most cases. This episode is one of the best informational podcasts on sports shooting I have seen too date. Great show Scott and Matt. Keep up the awesome work!
Ed Adams
Nikon 80-200 f/2.8 is a great alternative to the expensive 70-200, get one used, you’ll never leave it behind!
Hello! Thanks by the tips on the 70-200mm.
Allways great!
Another Picasso!
Love your show.
Love your show!!! I`m living in a small tawn in norway and love to spred your good tips! YiiiHaaaa!!!
Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Sony, whatever… what I really like is photography and DtwonTV
Enjoyed the show!
Great show guys! Can I win the 400?
Great show, Lot of money sitting on the table
Thanks for the knowledge and the laughs guys!!!
Boys, PLEASE …! Don’t always just speak about the differences when you compare lenses. Show pictures/examples of the “way more beautyful depth of field” so that we non-professionals start to understand what you talk about – and make our own judgements on those comparisons.
Love your show – stuck width you since the beginning of nikon-dtowntv years ago. But today was way too much “speak” and not enough “show”.
Cheers from germany!
Great show thanks !

Great show.
You two are the best! very informative on the lenses.
Excellent show this week guys. I have friends who have the “big fast” glass shown in this episode and while they always offer to let me use them I have yet to accept. I’m not afraid that I’ll drop the lenses; just afraid that I’ll want one. ;~D
You guys rock em sock em.
thanks again guys.
Awesome! I hope part 2 has motorsports!
There’s just something cool about weilding that 400mm 2.8, eh?
How about doing a show/segment on shooting aircraft and flying displays?
Great show as always. Loved seeing the big glass!
Thanks for all the great info about shooting sports! I’m always learning something new on your shows! You guys ROCK!!
This really essentially a lovely stuff. An doc something like this provides precisely how deep the concept is actually realized by publisher.
Hi

Great! This series on sports is wonderrful! I have watched in reverse order and it’s been fabulous!
Thank you.

Hi, but you have long list and looks like I will not be able to win but good show.
I just watched epesode 59 regarding lenses and explaining why you make the choices you do when buying a lens. Finally, I understand! The sales people actually didn’t know what they were talling about. And they were professionals!? Thank you.
