Dunno if someone said this before, but how about people who cant make their own minds up and ask which camera they should buy. (Also fits many other forums also).

One on sportbike boards that irk me is someone who asks if a GSXCBYZZX-600RR is a good bike for a beginner, only to get 95%+ members saying no still gets one because ONE person said he'll be fine. Real funny thing is the one person that said he'll be fine just started riding himself and dumped his 3 times in a month. Yep listen to some idiot who has only been riding for a couple months but the rest of us with YEARS AND YEARS of experience dont know what we are talking about.:rolleyes: Get what you want but why even ask if you should get one if you are just gonna get it anyways?

Especially the ones who don't give you a clue as to what they shoot or their experience - a birding camera/lens setup would be vastly different to portrait.

Not really, I use a UWA for birding, you just need to train on your stalking skills ;):p:p

Yall aint nuthin till youve shot birds with a pin hole lens, Getting a UWA shot of one in 1/200th is easy. try getting a 30 minute shot. If you ever get the climbing and flying down pat then it is the best lens to use
