haha it's the same here. I actually sold my stupid flash because it is rarely used even as fill flash but I may will regret that later on lol.
You will definitely have a lot of fun with your new lens during the summer and I hope you will get some good shots of animals :)
lmao! I think you would need to live in a large mansion to use 200mm indoors :p

I still have my precious 24-70 lens and plan to use it quite a lot during the summer especially now that I have a much better camera so I won't sell it anytime
soon. Sorry! :D Well I have had the 135mm f2L for awhile now I actually purchased it soon after I got the 24-70. It is my main outdoor telephoto lens simply because
I currently don't have any lenses longer than that :( but I am definitely loving it's large aperture and creamy bokeh. It seems that Canon is not offering any spring
rebates this year probably because of what happened in Japan last month but I am sure the price on the 24-70 will go down sooner or later so maybe by the time
you want to purchase it they will be offering a rebate on it.

Oh btw I purchased an used lens earlier today. It's an older version of your 50mm f1.8 II lens. The main difference is it got a metal mount, a distance scale and a real
manual focus ring. I bought it dirt cheap and hoping to sell it for twice as much as I paid lol :evil:

Shame Nikon can't touch that IQ until the D3s.

I'd need school so I didn't feel so unmotivated to learn it. If there's a deadline I do better than just free will.

I will probably keep my flash, and never upgrade it. I like it a lot better than the popup flash my camera comes with, no matter how much I could sell it for, it's something I will use even if it's not very often.

You need someone to teach you in person and on the field if you want to learn even faster than school.

What the video is about, what I am trying to learn. I am also pretty stubborn, so I'm not sure it would work for all things :lol:

You are just lucky that you find a use for your flash :p For me I only get to use it like once or twice a year lol so I just didn't feel like keeping it. I hate the pop-up flash too and almost never use it besides my new camera doesn't even have one lol. Well you know you don't need to go to school to learn about photography. There are like a million ways to learn thanks to all the online forums, tutorials, guides and reviews. I recently talked to some guy here in Regina. He only took a class in highschool and now he is shooting events and sport stuff and get paid lol. That lucky bastard.

People make money with a Rebel and kit lens! Just go out there and DO it. Don't worry about IQ, quality, etc. yet. If someone is willing to pay for what you offer, even if it's just a little, take advantage of it!
