My mother in law lent me this marvel. This photo was taken with my 400D. Do you think it portrays its beauty?

Wow. Awesome. I tried my friend's dad's Voigtlander rangefinder. I loved it despite it's not working. I think I still have it...but he wont care. He's a pro photographer and has hundreds of cameras

Good lighting you have on that. I'm surprised with that camera and that lens. I never use that lens anymore. If there was one thing to do if I could go back in time is to buy my 350D body only and get a really nice lens

While I also would like to buy a better lens, I have found that the 400D kit is not as bad as some intend to portray.

I almost bought this at an antique shop the other day! They wanted $175 for it though and I didn't have the cash... Instead I bought an old Argus 75mm medium format for 15 bucks!

Wow.. Really nice shot... But to me it more looks like a product shot.. If I were there I would probably like to experiment with much like following idea.

trying to make the background to black using Exposure settings and mix the body of camera to that and use onboard flash or some lighting to illuminate the white/sliver part of the body with light refelction from the lens.. may be it have more impact than it.....
But it just a personal choice... you did a great job with your prospective
