>(Actually, my personal favourite lens is my 24 to 50 zoom, which I
leave on
>my camera most of the time.)
My slr usually has my 28-70 mm zoom fitted most of the time. Of course,
I
don`t usually use my slr nowadays. Most of the time the digital is used
due
to the convenience factor, lack of time to see the finished picture (get
it
home, upload it, print out with paint package). I was sold on my digital
when the first time I used it (at a family weading), one of the
realitives
has a stain on the coat due to the little sprogs spilling the drink. 5
mins
with the paint package, stain gone (it was that easy and quick). Plus
the
fact you don`t have to print the pics out sreight away, instead you can
just
keep them as infomation until you want them (3 cd of backup pics at the
moment, how much have I saved on developing). The only thing to remember
about digital, is that your printer will require photo inks (inkjet
printer)
and photo paper (both expensive). As to using both paint packages and
slr
cameras, I used and learnt both in collegde.
