Why are you setting anything? Thought I would give it a try. I experiment with settings, I'm learning. That's how I sometimes learn, from making mistakes Peripheral illumination correction or any, well most, of the other settings that the camera can apply are not recoreded. These are added by you in post. When you set stuff like that, the camera makes a small data file, sometimes called a 'sidecar' to tell the editor, "Hey this is what I think he wanted." But you, not the camera, tell the RAW file how you really want it. And of coures it makes a new sidecar.
Ok, so now I know. I will do as you suggest.
At this point you are rushing ahead too fast. You need to slow down and start learnig how to use what you have and how it works. Stop buying stuff. You are bound to make mistakes until you get farther along.
Yes I will make mistakes, that's a given ......like death and taxes. Important thing is that I learn from them. Life is a series of challenge and adversity, that we're suppose to learn from. That's why I try not to get bent outta shape when things don't go my way. I try best as I can to live life on it's own terms, not mine.
What you really need is that gooder, better monitor.
Obiwan give it a break, I got one
OK, got it. That is a pretty light duty strap. It will be fine for camera and "black" lenses. I would not use it for a Canon white lens.
You bought this lens?
If this is the one, it is a "big white" and I would NOT attach the strap to the camera. You need a tripod collar for it if one did not come with it. I have never owned this lens but I did use one for a short day one time.
"Biggs likes stuff that will take a licking and keep on ticking."
You are right here, too. But when I retired I had to decide on what to keep and what to get rid of. I prefer the larger size of the 1 series cameras so all the other, of which there were many, got the ax. So to speak , as I sold most. But I gave most of the Rebels to family members.
Now in retirement I buy lenses and sell the lenses I don't like. There have been many there, too. I lose money on each one but the time playing around testing and using them is worth something. Isn't it? I am having a ball, more fun in photography then I ever did before. It has been born again for me. Probably because I don't have to. I do take a job now and then but I don't actively seek any.
I only buy certain lenses. Ones I deem worthy. I steer clear of the junk as I have no interest. This philosophy makes them very easy to sell especially when they include all factory packaging, parts and papers, at a very attractive reduced price. I had one sell in 10 seconds one time. I literally, barely, got my finger off the <enter> key.
I now have built up a consensus of what is a good lens and what isn't. Expensive? Yes but a great trip to be on. Plus I don't care what the rest of the folks think. I know what I know.
But maybe I am crazy and all this is just a dream. Pinch me!
