Photography On The Net – Canon Digital Photography Forums

Here’s another photography forum that I think is worth checking out, especially if you shoot Canon digital cameras – Photography On The Net – Canon Digital Photography Forums

Here, you will find a very active set of discussion forums dealing with subjects like photography industry news, Canon gear, the business of photography, processing, printing, and photo sharing.

There is quite a bit of information here and these forums are very active.

Digital Grin Photography Forum

Digital Grin is another photography forum that I’d like to pass along. It has many forums on it with some great information.

There are general photography topics like people, street, landscape, sports, cameras, and macro.

Let’s look at their Holy Macro forum for instance. In that forum, there are tutorials on macro shooting and focus stacking. There are also many examples of stunning macro photography from the members.

Check out this sticky post from their Finishing School forum. There are some excellent tutorials there for processing your digital photographs.

This is another really good forum site that’s worth checking out if you haven’t been there.

KatzEye Replacement Focusing Screens

I was looking around for replacement focusing screens and ran into KatzEye Optics. Everything I’ve seen has been positive so far. So I thought I’d pass this along.

Their replacement screens cover many different DSLRs from several manufacturers including Leica, Pentax, Olympus, Canon, Nikon, Fuji, Panasonic and Samsung.

The attraction for me is the enhanced focusing ability when using manual focus lenses. DSLR focusing screens are sub-optimal for manual focusing.

One nice thing about them is that they have a service to replace the screen for you. This is wonderful news for those that might be a wee bit nervous about accidentally damaging the sensitive parts of the camera.

I have not used their product yet, but do intend to.

Here is a review I found on the KatzEye focusing screen for a Canon DSLR.
