redangel Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 For us trying to get a grip on our cameras...would it be possible to identify to lens used...eg d40 70-300mm It would be very encouraging to see what lenses can achieve what is such skilled hands! Anyway its just an idea, I guess some things are 'trade secrets" lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I agree, sometimes some of us do that. there's also a couple of threads devoted to particular lenses to give you a idea of what they can do. I'd love it if everyone put their gear list in their siggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kja Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Often when images are uploaded you can see the EXIF data embedded in them which should ID the camera and lens combo. Firefox has a plugin for it and I think Windows has something, too. Not sure on the Macs... Failing that and failing ppl remembering to put it in a post, just ask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubiton Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I'd be wary of putting all your gear listed on every posting on the website but then thats the security/privacy worry of you never know who is looking on the web. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chezzyr Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 (edited) Interesting point Rubiton, but some have already been listing their lenses etc in a seperate thread. Another point I wanted to raise is there is sometimes more to an image than what you see on the screen. All well and good to list which lens - but what about the technique and what about the doctoring of images in photoshop or lightroom etc before they are put on the web? The image could end up being quite different to what came from the camera/lens anyway so simply stating the lens and a few exposure details could only be half the story. efs Edited June 7, 2009 by chezzyr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
