Will this Sigma lens "autofocus" on the D50? Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 APO DG Macro I have been trying to find a source that specifically says yes or no but can't find one.

It is a kind of imaginary word for those cameras that look like an SLR but are one piece. I joined a while back for some reason i can't recall but the group is hardly used compared to the other group. good luck -- Paul (This is really happening, happening) ------------------------------------------------------- Stop and Look http://www.geocities.com/dreamst8me/ |

[] Okay, but what is rec.photo.digital.zlr for then? I thought the "z" was "zoom" where have I gone wrong? If I wasted your time I really am sorry, Mike Mike, To try and answer your question, here are the rationale and charter for this newsgroup. It may also be a useful reminder for others. Cheers, David ------------------------------------------ RATIONALE: rec.photo.digital.zlr The proposed newsgroup should be created because it will provide an open forum for the discussion of high-end digital cameras with zoom lenses and full manual controls, accessories for those cameras, and using those cameras, separate from digital SLR cameras, digital rangefinders and digital point-and-shoot cameras. These cameras are frequently referred to as digital ZLR (zoom lens reflex) cameras or SLR-like digital cameras, and typically have an SLR-like appearance due to the bulk of the lens rather than the relatively more compact shape of most point-and-shoot cameras. The digital ZLR is emerging as the camera of choice for many people that have graduated from basic point-and-shoot digital cameras, but don't need the added bulk and weight of a comparably equipped digital SLR. CHARTER: rec.photo.digital.zlr This newsgroup, rec.photo.digital.zlr, is an open forum for the discussion of high-end digital cameras with fixed zoom lenses and full manual controls, and using those cameras. These cameras are frequently referred to as digital ZLR (zoom lens reflex) cameras or SLR-like digital cameras, and typically have an SLR-like appearance due to the bulk of the lens rather than the relatively more compact shape of most point-and-shoot digital cameras. Additional On-Topic Discussion: - Any relevant accessories for digital ZLR cameras, such as: external flash units, add-on lens elements, memory cards, microdrives, lens filters/hoods, camera bags/cases, digital ZLR maintenance, tripods and monopods. - Photography techniques, as long as the discussion remains within the context of digital ZLR photography - Image post-processing, as long as the discussion remains within the context of digital ZLR photography - Posting links to personal photo galleries or images, as long as the discussion remains within the context of digital ZLR photography. What Is Considered Off-Topic: - Discussion of "point and shoot" digital cameras with no manual controls - Discussion of any film cameras - Discussion of cameras with mounts for detachable lenses - Discussion of scanners - Discussion of printers - Posting links to personal photo galleries or images, not in the context of digital ZLR photography Posting off-topic should be kept to a minimum. All off-topic posts should be prefixed with [OT] or another easily-identifiable prefix in the subject line. If a segment of any on topic thread ever becomes clearly off-topic, it is the duty of those individuals posting to change the subject line to reflect the off-topic change. Debating the pros and cons of digital photography vs. film photography is off-topic. Please be polite and try to not steer any conversations in that direction. In the event that any segment of any on-topic thread ever becomes clearly off-topic by debating the pros and cons of digital photography vs. film photography, it is the duty of those individuals posting to change the subject line to reflect the off-topic change. What Is Considered Inappropriate: - Crossposting to any other newsgroup except where the post is of direct relevance to each group in the crosspost What Is Not Permitted: - Posts from mail2news gateways and/or anonymous remailers - Flame wars (comparisons between different digital camera brands or models are permitted as long as they do not degenerate into personal flames) - Signatures with more than 4 lines - Exchange and/or discussion of illegal software - Personal attacks - Binary postings (i.e. non text postings) other than PGP and small binary signatures - Commercial advertisements: This newsgroup explicitly prohibits the posting of advertisements of any kind, whether personal, private or commercial, as well as all other promotional material, whether or not it is in any way related to photography. Auction announcements (Ebay.com and others) are prohibited. Posting links to commercial websites with the sole intention of promoting those sites is not permitted; links to commercial websites may be posted in the context of answering a specific question. All postings made to this group should conform to existing Usenet guidelines (see news.announce.newusers for guideline documents). When posting on rec.photo.digital.zlr, please use standard Usenet netiquette. Treat other posters with courtesy and follow standard conventions when replying to posts. Please trim the posts you reply to, retaining only the significant portions in your follow up. Preserve attributions (the bits that specify who wrote what in each post) and limit your signature to 4 lines or less. To ensure readability, do not use HTML in your posts and limit your line lengths to the Usenet standard of 80 characters or less. END CHARTER. |

Yes, that is exactly the style of camera the group was created for. Actually, I have now sold on my CP5700 and replaced it with the wide-angle CP8400 and the telephoto Panasonic FZ5. I've been pleased with both cameras. David |
