Thanks a lot EQ :D The thing is that i have the new d5100 + 18-55mm + 55-200mm for 1000 euro, and the same kit of lenses with the nikon d5000= 599 euro. I saw that.. and i thought, "that may be a good deal". But knowing that canon has a wider and better range of lenses it makes me to doubt about buying a cheaper nikon :).…
Talking about bodies, would you buy a nikon d5100? I've heard its image quality is great. What i really don't know is if that Expeed 2 sensor + a few upgrades are worth 400 euros more for the dual pack with AF-S VR lenses (18-55 & 55-200mm). What do you think?
dont forget ebay, i recently picked up a 650D for £300 with a 18-55 lense which is pretty damn good i think. the reason i picked it up was to do some nightsky/astro photography, which brings me to my question, anyone got any expeience with that?
Ah thats exactly what I'm looking for EQ. Something that I can quickly and easily just take around with me for outdoors/vacation/random outings. Light and cheap. I know once I get deeper into things and acquire more lenses I will want to get something more sturdy like the 300 dollar tripods suggested. But I am still really…
Just bought the 50mm f/1.8, got a good price new at 145. Don't think i'll be getting a 28 prime soon though, as i have the 28-105 for that angle. Same for using the 18-55 just for 18mm, I think I'd prefer the Sigma 18-35 there. Btw thanks for all the advice Earthquake and others, really cool I can also get this at…
OK, this made me laugh. The main reason I'm considering the f/4 70-200mm is because I'm planning on continuing my historic railroad hunt this summer, and some areas that I want to shoot are on private property so I'll have to shoot from the road. I'll be outside, so hopefully it'll work well enough. I think you guys have…
For what I plan on doing with my camera, the only prime lens that I would probably ever get would be a 50mm. Other than that, I think something like this would cover almost everything that I want to do with it:…
Hmm that's an interesting suggestion. The one issue I can see with using my 50mm f/1.8 (correct me if I'm wrong, but adding a TC sacrifices lens speed for magnification, right?), is that the minimum focusing distance is actually quite long. I can focus MUCH closer with my 18-55mm, but of course, it's nowhere nearly as…
Shaffer, I was about to say just go to B&H and buy the 50mmm 1.8 new, but the price has jumped up for $95 when I bought it to $120. Sons of bitches. This sells for $80-120 used, so maybe $120 new isnt a bad price, its such a cheap(price and build quality) lens that I would rather just buy it new myself. However, here is a…
