Yes; 18-200mm... can't afford a new lens

Same here brother. Lenses can be sooo expensive! I'm currently using a kit lens too for my Canon 600D.

I'm saving up for a 35mm Wide angle lens to get those perfect scenery shots!

What kind of Camera do you use? Takes remarkable photographs!

I've been a Nikon man since 1965. I still have every camera I've ever used. Currently using Nikon's number 12, a D300S as my main camera, and as a backup, number 13, a D200.

Amazing! You've been in the business for a long time now. 

Incredible Nikon D300S has a whopping 51 autofocus points so I've heard. 

Such a big jump from using film right? haha

I miss Kodachrome slide film. Sad day when they stopped making it. Digital allows me to take hundreds of shots instead maybe only a few rolls of 36. Much cheaper... but film was better.

My old pops used Kodachrome as well! They were officially discontinued in 2009 unfortunately. 

The film was at it's cutting edge during it's time. 

True, digital has saved photographers alot of time and money. However, I liked the gritty look that film looked.
