[MENTION=21850]raja manuel[/MENTION] This I did not know so did a little research on the net and am still not sure. Would love to know if someone has more info on how an internal ND filter works

It seems that a lot of the cams that have a built in ND filter do it through sotware rather than at the hardware end, but this works like the graduated filter in lightroom and can only work if the highlights of the scene fall within the dynamic range of the cam sensor. The other alternate is to have a ND filter physically slide in in front of the lens when needed.

You are right about the polarizing filter. Circular Polarizer Q has some really good images showing how it works

zangetsu ...first tell me which lens do you plan to reverse if you get reversal lens ...I think you may know that to use reversal ring or extension tubes for macro photography you should have aperture ring on lens

I have 18-55mm kit Lens and 50mm 1.8G prime lens

Yeah, they don't have wide range of lenses and it will take years.

BTW have you read about the new lytro camera's that allow you to change the focal point, add bokeh and even change perspective of the image in post processing.

Lytro?s Magical DSLR-Like Camera Lets You Refocus Photos After You Take Them | Gadget Lab | WIRED
Lytro announces Illum light field camera: Digital Photography Review

They give you what they call "living images", interactive pictures where you can change perspective, focal point, depth of field ect when you are viewing the image

Yeah, read about that Lytro when it was launched (2yrs ago???). But would this impress photography enthusiast? I don't think so...

Well consider that the same camera and lens will give pictures with amazing depth of field, great bokeh and even allow you to do macro shots where the subject is touching the lens, All with amazing quality. Plus the ability to correct slight errors in the focus in post processing. Like if you do a bird shot you don't have to wait for the lens to focus on the moving bird and then shoot, and hope that the bird did not move away from the band that was in focus. You just shoot, and deal with the focus if needed in postprocessing.

Yes, I wanted one. But I don't have a heart for spending too much on hobby. My budget is very limited, which is only enough for used DSLR+50mm lens. When I see such offer, I will grab it. Many a times, I almost tried/and sometimes enquired to buy a used 50mm lens as the offer was too good.
