    haven't used a manual lens on dslr, so I was wondering will the camera meter correctly for shutter speed while in Av mode with a manual aperture lens, or is full manual necessary? Looking at the Samyang 8mm and I have a 300D (old but good!)

    Someone tried to steal our tires

    Any tips to best protect them or make them less attractive? They're just stock Ford rims, nothing special, but apparently that doesn't matter. :\ My first idea was some locking nuts, but from some videos even that can be defeated.

    Vanguard: SOH

    Maybe you should. I found an unopened box laying around and thought I would give it the 30d at least see how they fixed it up. I think if this game was released in the state it is in now, it would be one of the top MMOs, no dungeons or world in any other game can come close to the scale and...
