HI All A few weeks ago I posted a list of my gear (that will be published in my next book in Oct.) The chapter was posted as ONE long, eye-crossing paragraph. I could not figure out why, until now. I posted it though Safari on my Mac. Here it is posted through Firefox. Sorry for all those crossed eyes...

So I am now shooting with an L Lense EF24-70mm 2.8 on my Canon 20D which I love. I have a contemporary/modern/artistic style and like to shoot wide open at 2.8/3.2. Previously I could only shoot at 5.6 and that just wasn't all that great. Mostly I shoot ONE person at a time. A baby, a senior, a model...

ChefDave: No I don't think f-stops are considered fractions, it is a ratio. Well, as the mathematics minor (engineering major) I hate to be the one to break this to you, but ratios pretty much are fractions. For example, suppose that there are 12 boys and 8 girls in a class. There are 20 students...

I have a Canon 20d with a Canon 75-300, EF 1:4 - 5.6 II lens. I want an extender but I cannot afford a new Canon. I have a chance to get a TOKINA C-AF1 MC7 (7 elements) extender) for $49.95 Should I buy mit and what kind of performance can I expect? Thanks for any input.

Rick, very good point regarding F-stops. I completely agree. I think it is important to know the limits of all your lenses, and work around them.
