    Default Camera Help

    Ok, So I got a D100 (its actually my GF's)

    She has two lenses:

    a Sigma 70-300mmD Macro
    and
    a Sigma 28-90 mmD Macro


    Ok, So, I finally got the camera to take pictures I could see..

    What are the best things for these two lense like distance.

    And I need help getting these settings. I should be able to take decent shots with this camera. Some one give me some pointers please

    The 70-300 is your telephoto, the other is your mid range. What are the Fstops for each lense? Im guessing somewhere around 3.5-4.6?

    The 28-90 is 1:3.5-5.6

    The 70-300 is 1:4-5.6

    I dont know how to utilize this info. I take better pictures up close and far away with the 70-300

    you use the 28-90 to take close ups and the 70-300 to take far away pics. What settings are you trying to get?
