I always have my hood on unless I have the polarizer on.  The only reason is that I can not adjust the polarizer with the hood on.  Polarizers kick |expletive|!

Chris, have you seen a polarizer for my buzzsaw?  One where I can keep it at the widest?

Polarizer filters definitely kick, but not for full time duty. I think you want to pick and choose the times you use the polarizer. If you want a full or most of the time filter, go with a good UV. It won't darken your shots like the polarizer could, which would be important for low light and indoors shots.

Where does one go for renting a lens? I'm tentatively planning to go down to Scottsbluff and would like to rent a wide angle for the trip if it works out.

If anyone is looking for a Canon EF 50mm F/1.4 lens there is one on Craiglist today and if the story is correct it might be a good deal.  New on Amazon for about 360  this guy is asking 280 and it is almost new.  I have this lens and it is not bad.

Also, check out http://www.rentglass.com

I rented a Canon 100-400 from them, and they were very helpful, and very fair. I would rent from them again, but their stock is sometimes hard to predict.

I somehow missed the Nikon D7000 a couple weeks ago.
http://www.dpreview.com/previews/nikond7000/

Dang.  Canon got owned this round.  I was waiting to see what was going to come out from both camps in the semi-pro range at Photokina this year.  Canon announced the underwhelming 60D as a downgrade in the XXD line to segregate the 7D into a higher category.   I think Canon took a step backward to prop up old technology and their semi-pro line is stagnating.

The D7000 does semi-pro right. It's a stellar upgrade from the D90 in every way.  I was close to buying the D90 when it was first announced, but Canon came back with an entry level DSLR that did video a hair better with a larger sensor and I stayed with the brand I knew.  Now I will patiently wait for some production reviews of the D7000 and hold off buying my ultra wide angle lens until I know which brand I'm going with.

Yeah the D7000 looks nice. Would be a large (on paper) upgrade over my D300. I'm still going full frame though, as soon as Nikon gets off their butt and does the D700 successor. Full frame, 12-24MP, 1080HD vid, weather sealed, metal body, 3k or less, sold.

Got this Medium format Rolleicord last night.  Girlfriend's Parent's friend gave it to me.  I think it would be fun to pick up a roll of 120 some day and try it out!  I haven't shot with one since college!

I was given a similar hand-me-down Yashica D a few years back. I haven't really used it that much, but when I do I seem to be very good at double exposures. :(

Example here:

Also I really can't get used to the left-to-right backwards image in the viewfinder.

Next on my do-it list for that camera will be shooting some slide film and cross-processing it as color negative. I've actually seen some very impressive work done that way.
