The easiest way for learning a language is if you also like the culture that comes with it. It's easy if you like their music and you can play it all day long and listen to lyrics and radio shows. It helps if you're interested in what's going on in that country because you'll want to watch / read the news in their…
Recall barrels being 'shot out' due to worn rifling then immediately switched with a replacement when in operation (bursts of fire) for an extended period but as long as the weapon was serviceable i.e. able to perform it's task for which it was designed and manufactured, then despite routine wear and tear - scratched…

I think WoW and Battle.net were stellar examples of what games have to do to combat piracy, at the same time, I think it was just the first step. As we all know prohibition does NOT work. We can not…
I shoot wide open with my Canon 50mm 1.8 and and Sigma 30mm 1.4 pretty often, I think its generally a matter of learning how to deal with the very narrow DOF than anything to do with AF accuracy, however, if you get more "keepers" on your 5D maybe it would make sense.
