Many film SLR camera lenses can be used on dSLR bodies.

Sometimes it is fun to shoot the fishing action.

On Halloween 2004 we had a really good Bluefish run here on the Jersy Shore. Peanut Bunker
were pushed onto the shore by the thousands by a large Bluefish school (fish 9lb ~ 15lb).
After a couple dozen of thse Blues my arms were just plain tired (a fish on evey cast) so I
went back to my house and picked up my Canon dSLR with and a 70 ~ 300mm lense and a circ.
polarizer lens. I started to shoot the school breaking the surface.

Later at home I examined my shots. In one shot I got a Peanut Bunker who jumped about 1 ~
2" above the surface of the water. Behind him was the dorsal fin of a Bluefish and you can
see the body of it below the surface. You just know the moment that Peanut Bunker lands in
the water it is a gonner. I also got some good shots of Bluefish jumping out of the water.
All nice clear action shots. No fuzziness. I doubt an Point & Shoot could have captured it
equally as well.
