I think you have sold me on the 105mm. It sounds like it is more versatile, less limited. I found one on e-bay for 529.99 and it comes with a 52in wide angle collapsible hood and it's used of course. Same price as the one at B&H but with the extra wide angle hood.

Minimum focus distance on the 50mm 1.8 is 1.5', which is way too far for macro. You're going to want a proper macro lens, and those aren't cheap. The 60mm 2.8 Macro is a little over $500; it focuses down to .72', or half the distance of the 50mm 1.8. At just about twice the price, the 105mm 2.8 VR Macro focuses down to 1', and also makes an amazing portrait lens. I have both of these and like them a lot.
I've been checking out the 105mm f/2.8 AF micro. It's the older version with out the VR which I really don't care about because it will be used with a tripod.....AND it's half the price of the VR model. Between the 60mm and the 105mm...which would you choose?

For you Nikon users, I've got to do some micro work and I don't have a lens. This is going to be jewelry shots for a catalog. What would you recommend that doesn't break the bank? Will a Nikon 50mm f/1.8 work? I think I'm going to get it anyway since it's an excellent lens at a 125.00 price tag. Give me some feedback so I know what to look for. I've been looking for the last couple of days and I decided to ask those of you that would know...

Vonkara is right.....to much noise. They are beautiful photos, but most stock sites anymore won't even consider sunset shots unless they are outstanding and different. iStock is the worst with the noise issue...very picky

Any one know of a web site where I could go to check rather a certain brand lens is compatible with a certain brand of camera? I've looked but haven't found one that deals with len's other than nikon len's and nikon camera.

Congrats madelaide...it is a very creative shot. Like FD said it's not your basic shot.

I'd rather stick with the dead tree version...  Have you ever looked at your digital signature....it looks like you were to drunk to know what you were signing.

Which is better Tamron or Sigma? I know Nikon is best and the two lens I do have are Nikon, but the price for a Nikor lens 24-70 and the 70-200 are a big price tag, so which would be the better alternate?

Thanks Leaf for posting this thread. It really helps for one to pinpoint what is the best all around lens to use as a your main lens. I am in the market for a new lens and it helps to get input from everyone.

I think many deleted old images off there while that whole mess was going on about the taxes and the 1 credit = $1.00 mess. I deleted all my port - other than the ones that had sold I left on there. I think a lot of the big boys just got fed up and are slowly leaving.

I use to play that all the time. My homepage is Google and I saw it on there yesterday, but I didn't realize you could actually play it. Thanks madelaide. Oh and btw...I didn't even last 5 secs..I'll have to work on that...

I can confirm this. I deleted all my images off there, but I can still sign in under my user name and password. I figures once all the images were gone it would be closed, but apparently not.

I'm glad I dropped them like a hot potato within the first month I was with them. Just wish I had done the same with some of the other sites I'm stuck in.

Once I hit payout in the year 2020, I will definitely delete my account. I've been on there for over a year and have had a total of 29 sales for a total of 19.76. They have the same content as all the other sites that sell well. With mass rejections and no sales....it's not worth the time or aggravation so I no longer upload there.

Maybe I don't understand how you go about this....but how would you know rather the site purchased an EL license or not? I have never seen where a stock site tells you who purchases an EL license, just that it was purchased. Maybe I don't know where to look.
If you have an image that hasn't had any EL licence purchased at all and you find this image being printed on goods sold, that's proof enough. I suspect this is the case with click click.
Thanks for that info, but if there have been several EL's sold on the photo, how do you know that one of them is or isn't for that company unless you contact them or the stock site?

But still I think posting it on your blog still may be risky. Personally I would go through the stock site to resolve the problem and if they don't take care of it, I don't know it's worth the risk of getting slapped with slander, or the cost of lawyers to bring suit against them.
I wouldn't like that to happen to me, but can you do anything about it and is the cost to remedy the situation more than you would ever make on the photo?

Wow I got 2 today also out of 73 images that have been sitting on there since 2006. I have only sold one TL a long time ago then 1 novel almost a year ago then these 2 today. I don't even check that site. You don't think it's a computer glitch do you? I mean 2 raw hamburger patties for novel use??? What is it for the republishing of the Texas Chainsaw massacre?
Now I'm a total $1.00 richer!!

How long does the initial approval process take?

I to hate their review process and the rejections for keywording, but I make the most money off this site. I haven't uploaded to them for quite awhile or any of the sites and when I last did it wasn't much, but they keep generating income more so than the rest of the sites.
