<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3450239, member: 19463&quot;]I recommend use of manual white balance.&nbsp; To calibrate it, you shoot a white card and teach the camera that definition of white.&nbsp; On my Canon 5DmkII, this is done in two steps.&nbsp; You select manual and the tell the camera which frame is the definition of white.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Zoom lenses are usually better if they have a limited zoom range and especially one that does not cross from wide to telephoto.&nbsp; An 18-135 is likely to have problems that a 70-200 won&#039;t have but a prime lens like the 100 is likely better yet.&nbsp; I doubt most people will see the difference between the best zooms and primes.&nbsp; For one thing, companies are putting a lot more resources into designing better zooms while prime lenses are older designs. Also, lens sharpness is becoming less a feature as postprocessing programs are made to correct for certain lens aberrations.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Cameras come with a &#039;kit&#039; lens, often 18-55 which are not the usually the best lenses.&nbsp; 18-135 adds greatly to convenience and range but better quality would be easier to achieve using two or more separate lenses.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
