50mm f/1.8
Its a Canon. You can find it for around $100. Great value at the price.
Canon 50mm 1.8. You can probably get one for around $100 new.
right now. The only reason to get that particular 55-200 is if you needed range and were always shooting in good light. I'm sure the numbers don't mean much right now, but once you have a 1.8 you will probably never go for f/4 again.
Couple more from Charleston.
thanks man.
Agreed. The Sigma 50mm f/1.4 is one of my favorite primes. Little on the hefty side (which I like), feels solid and is 77mm. Some older ones did suffer from Sigma's terrible quality control and the focus was a tad bit "off". You can always send it in if you need calibration if that happens to you. Not sure about the newer sigmas, mine is from 09. The Sigmalux isn't a bad idea.
theres a huge rail in the way, you didnt think about that before pulling the trigger?. I'd scrap it. but thrn again, they probably wouldnt care.thanks man.
Another pic from the set...not sure about my framing though, thinking maybe I should center it more. Thoughts?
The first pic I posted above is from my Sigma 30mm 1.4... I got it a month or so ago after they went on sale due to the announcement that they're replacing that sigma line... Paid $284 and so far it seems like I got a good copy, really happy with most of the pictures, the lens is sharp!
Trust me man, I was saying the same thing. For some odd reason my friends really wanted to pose near that damn rail. They started on either side of it then she wanted to reach over for the next few shots to be funny.
