How do you work with your camera’s white balance (color temperature) control?
I customize it for every different lighting condition.

Do you think that the stabilization trend in lenses will lessen the use of tripods for you?
Yes, with an image stabilization lens tripods are only necessary in rare instances.

No, regardless of using image stabilization lenses, there’s simply no substitute for the image quality you get by using a tripod

I would use both, as each has its purposes and one doesn’t necessarily cancel the use of the other.

Please comment briefly on your experience with IS lenses and whether they have proven to be beneficial to your work.
Very important and I would make a purchasing decision based on the lens having this feature.
64% (74 votes)
Not important. I prefer getting a lens with a faster maximum aperture at all focal lengths.

Does not apply because I have IS built into the camera body I own.
