Nikita,

I think you need to add a question or expand this a bit or put in some definitions

-- Do you own a Digital SLR (DSLR), film camera, or a point-n-shoot type camera?

There are those who own Point-n-Shoot (PS) cameras that take perfectly good images of dollfies, and often, people ask for those types of cameras because DSLRs are a bit out of their price range, even with the prices dropping.

Or dedicate another thread to non-DSLR cameras?

Feel free to delete this post, if you decide (or not decide) to take any of my suggestions above

February 2006, upgraded from the Nikon D70 kit that I purchased in August 2004. I am still wary of applying this level of digital for professional use but had a wonderful experience with the D70 and decided to spring for the D200 when it was announced mainly for the ability to sync to my studio lights. The D200 has proven to be a HUGE leap forward in every imaginable way &#8211; the body is incredibly solid, the controls more detailed, and the results just astonishingly better.

I love my 85/1.4 for close-ups, it&#8217;s a very sharp glass and yet when used wide-open, the images can be soft in the loveliest way. I also dig what the 135 can do with the DeFocus control &#8211; beautiful bokeh!!! I usually change lenses three or four times throughout a "shoot."

9. What other type of photography do you shoot with your DSLR? Post examples or links, if possible.
People.

I have gone through 3 DSLRs before finally buying my holy grail camera >D
Before Feb 2010 my shots were taken with a Pentax K10D, a Canon 400D, and a Nikon D90. The Nikon was my favourite, as far as size, build (quality/materials etc) and lens selection went. I do not recommend Pentax if you want to buy more lenses, they don't have many and they're not so great. The Canon was... good. Nice and small, and simple. Kinda plastic-y, but still good.



1. What brand is your DSLR?
Canon
2. What is the model?
5D Mk2 *-*
3. When did you purchase your DSLR?

5. Where did you purchase your DSLR?
Ted's.
6. Did you purchase your DSLR with the kit lens?
Lol no.
7. If you have other lenses, what are they?
I don't, no. I plant to invest in the 17-40mm L though. One day.
8. What is your favorite lens to use with your DSLR when photographing your dolls and why?
Ugh, my 50mm, all the way. It's simple, fast, and versatile. I can't get as close as I'd like, but the resolution on the 5D means I can crop it to look closer and you'd never know 8D




9. What other type of photography do you shoot with your DSLR? Post examples or links, if possible.
My Deviantart: http://hiritai.deviantart.com/
Everything from Feb onwards. Before that I used a Nikon D90.

10. How do you classify yourself in photography:
