We receive a small local newspaper, and we were intrigued by a recent article dealing with the Christian heritage of our nation. It was about a seasoned member of mainstream acadamia who had just discovered that George Washington was a Christian. It was such a discovery that she even wrote a book about it, and was not afraid to admit that it was entirely...

Yesterday, November 4th, was my first chance to vote, having turned 18 in September. I did not vote for Obama/Biden. I did not vote for McCain/Palin. As a Christian, I took my decision to vote for a presidential candidate very seriously. I purposed to have my decision be based on faith in God rather than on fear that someone evil would get into office...

I recently bought this lens . The first copy that I recieved had a serious front focusing problem , so I had to send it back to the vendor for replacement. After I recieving a second defective lens I decided to send it back for a refund. I am considering what I should do now, whether I should go for the Canon 70-200 f/4 L , the Tamron AF70-200mm f/2...

I am thinking about getting the Canon 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM for portraiture and travel use. However, I don't know very much about it. Does anyone have any experience using this lense? Is it bad, good, or exceptional for the price tag ($300 lowest)? The only thing negative I've heard is that the focus is a little soft. Is that reason to not...

That is too bad to hear you had to go through all that trouble. It would have been nice if the first one was perfect. But that is how it often is! I haven't used any of the lenses you are talking about, but I would recomend the Canon 70-200 f/4 L. I don't recomend it just because it is a Canon lens. I only recomend it because it is the only...

It seems to me that the reviews are saying the 28-135 IS is just a so-so lens (i.e. not really good or really bad). Here are a few other options: Canon 17-85 f/4-5.6 IS This lens doesn't have the as much zoom as you'd like, but you can be sure that it will have high quality optics. Highly recommended by professionals for portrait use. Canon...

But now let me get to the real point. You asked some really good questions and if you could find something better than the 28-135 still at a reasonable price range, I would be thrilled! 1) Price Range - I do not have much to spend. Working as a full time volunteer, I can't afford to buy L-series glass. This is my future goal, however, when I can...

Tim, Thanks for giving that review. Actually, that was the first truly negative review I had heard about it. I knew the focus was a little soft, but I didn't think it was as bad as was given. What do you think about this review (from a professional source): "When someone is looking for a good quality but affordable walkaround lens , the Canon...

Could you tell me the specs and the price-range you're looking at? With some more info I might be able to give you some other suggestions. Are you just trying to get an inexpensive lens or are you trying to get a high quality lens that you would be satisfied with for a long time? The 50-70mm range is commonly used for portraits. There are a huge...
