I second the 28mm/50mm primes. Just having those in your bag will keep you so versitile on day to day shooting. And they are easy to carry around. The kit lens looses so much detail it's not even funny, well it is kinda funny, but not ha-ha funny. And when you get these on a full frame DSLR, on man, it's like a whole new…
Oops, price went up, it's 250 bux, but it's really a sharp lens, even wide open: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/12096-GREY/Canon_2505A002_Wide_Angle_EF_28mm.html The thing with less expensive cameras is that they are crop sensors, meaning they don't see the full projected circle, so you have to multiply a lens mm…
Ha, Poop, I didn't think this would happen, but it seems that I might actually end up getting a 20D. There's a used one at B&H, and I am going to be in NY for about 10 hours so I might pop-in and if the condition is good enough I'll get it. I went to the store today, to hold stuff, and I almost bought a D90 with some…
I'm looking into a used canon 350D(rebel XT), recommendations on lenses? I'm looking for something in the $100-150 range with IS, i dont know a whole lot about lenses, so is it possible to get something at all decent?
they retail for like $100(katz eye), but if you can find the proper one for your camera, you can get it for under $30 on ebay it seems, from china i guess tho. There was one for the 20d a couple days ago, looking now it looks like you can get them for rebels etc too.…
Yeah i looked at the reviews and some comparison shots and they looked decent up to about 1600. I mainly want to shoot scenery and texture references so I hopefully won't have to use that high of an ISO (I say that now but once I really learn the ropes, I probably will :) ). I'll wait until this second round of snow hits…
It's been a short while but it already looks like I fucked something up. It seems I got dust in the camera. I just shot this, two shots are with 28mm at f/22 once with UV filter once without, two shots with 50mm at f/22 once with UV filter once without. It's quite noticeable on pictures, but I was always hoping it was the…
I am looking into a dslr and after readings bens posts a 20d looks very attractive. One of the best things about using an old 70's camera like the om-1 is everything is manual so you have no choice but to learn how to shoot pictures. Sometimes I feel point and shoot cameras have been the death of actual photos. Anyone know…
pentax's lens prices have shot through the roof within this year tho. lenses i bought in early 2009 are now almost double the price, sheesh. second the recommendation to look at this brand tho since there's a nice selection of quality lenses out there for it and plenty of compatible thirdparty-ones to choose from as well,…
