You can send files away for printing but getting somebody to edit your files for you would be extremely costly. an item I would place well ahead of extra lenses or printer. To get a wide view it is possible to take a number of overlapping images which are then compiled, either in a 'stitch' programme or by using layers in a good editing programme. good for the camera business but rarely for the photographer :-)įor the house interiors I suggest that you need a tripod while remembering that good sturdy ones COST but that light cheaper ones are worse than useles except for people who want to say 'I used a tripod'. The trouble in getting an interchangable lens camera is that you immediately think of what extra lens you can buy instead of do you really need another lens. Whatever, I suggest you spend considerable time learning to use the lens that you have, which is far more than I had at any time of my professional carear.

It depends on the flowers, though - if you just want a snap of some roses, most lenses are fine. ![]() You may find it cheaper to look into extension tubes or close-up "filters", for a less convenient and arguably less good solution. Those in the 50-60mm and 90-105mm range are not ridiculously expensive (especially if you don't buy Nikon), and I believe most are considered pretty good.
