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

What to look for when testing a wide angle lens before buying? Could you clarify what you mean about "the few with serious problems"? I assume this means some known problems specific to this lens? If so, please state what. If not: the accepted answer to the question you linked to applies just as much to wide-angle. |

What aperture should be preferred while shooting the subject which is close enough, to get maximum sharpness? Sounds like there is confusion over the term "sharpness". This is generally a property of the specific lens in question. But it's also important to understand depth-of-field ("area of sharp focus"), which is not really the same as sharpness, but is related. |

Is it difficult to focus on 1.4F prime lens, and if it is how to counter that? @AnishaKaul: OK so you now have 2 variables (aperture, focal length) out of four to work with. If you'll visit the link I posted or any other DOF calculator, you can plug in your sensor size and play around with the subject distance to see the effect on depth-of-field. |

In what kind of scenes does it make sense to use f/1.4 aperture? clarification based on comments. |

It would probably help you to explore the relationship between sensor size, focal length, subject distance, and depth-of-field. It will help you understand this and your other question about f/1.4. For example: dofmaster.com/dofjs.html |

Where to get community-based feedback on my photos online? fixed url for Photo.net link; extra crud at end of URL was causing a 404. |

Is Flash a Must-Have For Macro Photography? You can avoid shake with a tripod. Thus I'd say, "a flash is not a must, nor a tripod; but if you don't have one, then the other might be" :-) |

At what point does wind become a concern with respect to damaging a lens? Right, thanks. I edited my answer to clarify. You probably don't want to use a brush on the glass surfaces. |

What do you look for when choosing a photo sharing site? I went with Zenfolio, but smugmug is pretty comparable. |
