Overly-enthusiastic amateur with an excessive budget and gear that is way too good for me.

A budget tripod for astrophotography ball-head or 3-way pan-head? Yep, and generally you get what you pay for. A good "budget" tripod is usually not inexpensive :-) |

Starting out professionally in families/kids/events photography in mostly natural setting vs studio 5D II is probably the sweet spot for your needs, but also consider older used 1Ds II...better built and better AF than the 5D II, though smaller viewfinder and not as good high ISO. fredmiranda.com, keh.com and adorama.com are all excellent places to look for good used gear. |

Why does my Canon 7D get blurry pictures with a 70-200mm f/2.8 IS (series 1)? Following on to the above comments: please, if possible, provide some examples, ideally including relevant EXIF information (ISO, shutter speed, aperture, etc.). There are lots of possible reasons for blurriness but seeing images will narrow the actual reasons down very quickly. |

Canon 50mm f/1.8 vs Canon 28mm f/1.8 (vs Sigma 30mm f/1.4) I've owned both the 50 f/1.8 and 28 f/1.8 and I mostly concur with the statements above regarding those, particularly the chromatic aberration on the 28: it is bad, and not just in the corners. Furthermore, it's not easily correctable in post-processing. As such, I would not recommend it as a portrait lens (nor any wide-angle lens, except for group shots...B/W, maybe?). I was tempted to pick up the Sigma 30, but held out for a Canon 24 f/1.4 L II :-) No regrets, just a lighter wallet and much, much better images with less effort in post. |

I almost cannot switch to manual focus on my Canon 17-40 f/4 L lens For out-of-warranty work, usually they will give you an estimate first, and you can decide whether to get the work done or not if it's too expensive. I've done this with several lenses and cameras. Usually the fees are surprisingly reasonable. |

What printer can output photo-album pages on thick paper? ^^ it's not just the platen gap that is important. For very thick/stiff papers (such as photo-album pages), a straight feed path is essential. |
