Re: Post one nice photo you've taken recently
pick up the 50mm 1.8($120 new), and look into the 75-300mm, you can find them for $100-175 on ebay. I've got a 75-300mm III USM sitting here, but I actually prefer the super cheap ass 80-200mm, because 300mm on a crop is ~ 480mm, and that is just excessive. The cheap 80-200mm is also light as hell and compact, which means… -

You might consider the Nikon DX 35mm 1.8 if you're looking for a "normal" lens on a crop body like i was, its 52.5mm equiv on a nikon crop body, as fast as your 50 and only $200-250. Looks like they dont make a 28mm 1.8 like Canon does, which is a shame, only the $2500 28mm 1.4, which is just nuts.… -
Re: Post one nice photo you've taken recently
Yeah i didn't mean to imply that you were... implying, that film was better than digital or anything like that, I just got a little carried away nerding out about this stuff! When it comes to Canon dSLRs this is what you really need to know: XXXD Series is the entry level, small uncomfortable bodies, not very good… -

Testing out my new Sigma EX DG 24mm 1.8 wooooo! Hey Ben you should be pleased, its a ~35mm <2.0 lens! I found myself not really using the Sony 35/1.8 but using the Quantaray 24/2.8 quite a lot, so I'm selling both to pay for this guy. -
Re: Post one nice photo you've taken recently
This is nice bokeh you have going on there EartQuake but yeaa what would you expect from f1.4 :) When they calibrate your lens dont they need your camera as well? Was it front/ back focusing before that? I have the older af nikkor f/1.8 and sometimes I have problems with the auto focus when at f /1.8 but then again every… -
Re: Post one nice photo you've taken recently
Yeah that is at 1.8, the DOF is pretty wide on this lens cause its 24mm, but up close you can get some really nice creamy bokeh shots. It also focuses to 1:2.7 macro, so you can focus just a few inches from the front of the glass. Its pretty sharp at 1.8 too but really sharp at 2.8. I think its got 9 blades, rounded… -
Re: Post one nice photo you've taken recently
Thanks for your reply and the examples EartQuake! It sounds like a good deal. The only reason I would not get Sigma is because I am in Bulgaria at the moment and we don"t have Sigma service center and too many of the lenses they sell will be front/back focusing.... But yeaa one full stop extra sounds pretty cool :) I still… -
Re: Post one nice photo you've taken recently
If you're shooting at 1.8@3200 ISO and still have trouble getting a sharp shot, you really just do not have enough light. As disanski says, 1/60th ideally is as low as you want to go shutter speed wise, tho i'm pretty comfortable taking shots at 1/30th if its a relative still subject or even as low as 1/15th if i've got… -
Re: Post one nice photo you've taken recently
Yeah thats at 1.4, which has an awesomely narrow DOF. Sharpness is good at 1.4, definitely usable, very good when you consider just how small of an area is actually "in focus" at 1.4. At about 2.8 it is razor sharp, very nice lens. A couple more shots at 1.4: Really, not much more you could ask for as far as sharpness from… -
