TwoSickJays, I really like that shot

Picked up a Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 not too long ago. VERY, very impressed.

I was planning on picking one up soon. How much did you pay?
I heard its very noisy when focusing though.

 

[justhotkicks]

Quite noisy, on the heavier side....but it's great. The noise and weight don't bother me.

Bought it from someone through Craigslist...like new, original box + a filter for $270. I sold another lens I had so I didn't pay much.

 

[elboricua 6]

I don't know why ya be concerning ya self about noise? So far I have tested a few lens that are so called noisy and I just cant help but to laugh how quietthey are compare to the #$%% thats going around me ...

I'm not sure if its because ya are planning to go to a sound proof booth to take pictures or something but I don't think they are "noisy"

Granted compare to some that are not as noisy you can tell they are focusing and stuff but its not like someone is going to hear a noise and be like with isthat sound .. lmao

I was thinking about buying me the Tamron but opted for the Canon 17-55 IS .. Post some pictures man!

 

[justhotkicks]

Noise is a concern...especially if you're taking pictures at a wedding or some other event. But like I said, it doesn't bother me. I'm moreconcerned with the speed, which performs well.

The Canon IS is nice, but similar performance for a third of the price? No-brainer IMO.

 

[onlysomejordans]

Some pics I took in my room earlier today. Some C&C would be appreciated.

lol don't forget the few extra steps you save with the 55 and the wide angle on the low end - but yeah i guess if you want a good alternateyou might as well go for the Tamron - but then again you can buy starburrys that perform as good as J's and call it a day right? lol .. j/k man .... nicepickup and post some damn pictures

^ Also, build quality, USM for quick & quiet focusing, full-time manual focus, and re-sale value.

Devanisgee, it seems like you enjoy taking candid street photos but you really should respect the privacy of people out in public especially when they say'no.' I told myself to avoid doing this when I was in Toronto due to the possibility of running into the wrong people.

Gabe, he uses a Canon EF 70-200 f/4L for most of his street shots.

 

[apollo xxxiii]

I know this has been asked before, but what is a good lens filter for all-around shooting?

Its a fake tilt shift photo, I'm still debating on picking up a lens. So I'm just trying it out for now. Here is what happened to thosepaint cans you see in the picture...if you are interested in seeing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4J02AexAIvA

Some more heavily edited shots.

 

[apollo xxxiii]

^ The 2nd one would've been better without the blur outside the car. I like the see-through hood thing though.

 

[Fong$tarr]

Copped it way quicker then I thought. I think this is the same story as the other NTer, but found someone on Craigslist that was selling it for a fair price soI took advantage and scooped it up. Pretty happy so far and will finally get some dope skate photos.

 

[i just got lucky]

anyone here own a Sigma 24-60mm f/2.8? Haven't used it but it sounds like it would be a great walk around lens.

I checked out J&R and they have it for $300 but its only an in-store special...

 

[rap sizzle]

^ Are you using a cropped body? If so, 24mm may not be wide enough for your liking.

EDIT: That video! TSL?! You?

 

[i just got lucky]

^ yeap i got a D40. (upgrading to a D90 in a couple of months...still a cropped body, but i cant afford a D700)

I just checked but I guess this lens is not AF. I was gonna buy this lens and a Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 wide angle lens. But I guess I might have to go with theSigma 24-70mm f/2.8, but the price on this lens is doubled to what the 24-60mm because it comes AF with HSM.

Here's my wishlist and hopefully I can get all of this before the end of the year.

- D90
- Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8
- Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 (not sure about this one yet...still gotta read more about it)
- Sigma 30mm f/1.4
- The Bogen/Manfrotto tripod-head combo
- Hoya filters

I guess that's it for now. Gonna sell quite a few sneakers (mostly Dunk SB's, some of my jordans) when I get back home this summer. I think its gettingto the point where I am pretty much done with them.

Naw TSL isn't me, but I was fortunate enough to see the footage being filmed and the writers doing their thing that day. I am in the video footage(1:54 on the lower right corner of the screen), you can see my block head there. The footage was mainly of Persue, but Rimes/Jersey Joe and Dr. Sex paintingalongside him on that massive wall.

[kickinheadz1010]

Can anyone one recommend some filters for a CANON 50mm?

 

[rap sizzle]

^ What type of 50? f1.8, f/1.4, f/1.2? Also, what type of filter are you looking for? UV protective, circular polarizer or ND?
