The Nikon 14-24 retails at around $1750. The Canon equivalent is the EF 16-35 f/2.8L II which costs around $1500 brand new. He shoots with a D700 so unless you're shooting with a full frame camera like the 5D or 1Ds...you won't get the same wide-angle look.Originally Posted by nycknicks105
shessh, if you don't mind me asking. How much did you spend on the lens and where did you get it? I'm trying to find an equivalent lens for canon.
So, I HAVE to use a full-frame camera to get those type of shots? I'm using a crop-frame right nowOriginally Posted by Rap Sizzle

So do y'all just walk around with cameras looking for things to shoot? Do you already have it planned out of what y'all are looking for?
Also.. for the ones who do pics of girls... How do y'all get the girls to cooperate with the shooting, like do y'all just go up to em and ask? Pay them?
Thanks

@Poetic Jays, this should explain why full frame is better:
and if you don't get it, think about this way: would you rather have tunnel vision or see everything? Crop sensors take away from the scenery but that's not to say that it's bad, it's just better to capture a lot more than a lot less.

But I know some people that have shot women on here before (DJ Bana) and they seemed to be ok with it. I guess it doesn't hurt to ask but don't be like some perv that just wants photos. Also it helps to even have a business card and to show the photos after you take them so they know it is tasteful.
And about your second question....it really is who you know on getting gigs at events. Photographers are a dime a dozen, so don't expect to just jump into a club or a concert venue and have them throwing tons of cash at you. From what I have heard, you don't get paid well at stuff like that. I think the easiest and most high paying thing as a amateur photographer is for weddings. You can at least see a couple a grand from that but then you have to produce some quality stuff that will please the bride and groom.

it seems like full-frame is better for landscape and pictures where u go wide, but it would hurt you if you're mainly shooting telephoto.
So theoretically, if you were to shoot things like sports or macro that require telephoto, wouldn't a crop senor actually be better?
I understand all the professional lens/cameras are full frame. Could they make a professional crop frame camera or do they just choose not to? I'd think if they had one, it would help the sports photographers that use those 400m lens
