If you have a sharp copy of the 50mm, why not keep it? I think it's a sweet lens on a FF body.

Hey guys, Sorta in a dilemma.
Looking to buy a new lens soon but I cant decide which one.
I currently have a 50mm f1.4g, 35-70mm f2.8 and a 16mm f2.8 fisheye.
I need a wider lens because 35 isn't wide enough. I can only afford to get one lens right now. Should I get a tokina 16-50 f2.8 lens or should I get a tokina 12-24 f4 or a tokina 11-16 f2.8? Im thinking of selling the 1.4g to get a 35mm + 12-24. Or is getting the 16-50 the best choice because I dont have an all arounder? I know most of you shoot primes but I shoot events quite a bit so switching lens is quite inconvenient for me. Will shooting people with a 12-24 stretch their faces? Let me know, thanks in advance!

Get a 24-70. Im picking up one in the near near future :)

out of my budget :( i wish i was balling like you :( i can get a 12-24 + 17-50 for the price of that lolol

Because I borrowed it from my store.
I can buy it from the EPP for much less :D

Do you work at a camera store?
EPP?

Employee purchase price

im soon to be purchasing a 60d, and currently i have a kit lens 18-55 is, and i have a tamron 18-270 pzd vc

im thinking im going to need something sharper, so im wondering if a 15-85mm is, and a 70-200 f/4L is a good combo to keep me pleased for some time

any advice?

btw, im not made of loads of money, so best bang for the buck is what im after

also i take more into all around photography, scenic (landscape and urban), wild life, portrait, and sports (mostly wanting to try rolling shots)

I think that's a great kit to have. My sharpness obsessed co-worker has those lenses, but with the 7D body. Later on, you can add a wide aperture prime to your kit.

Anyone got the Nikon 70-300mm VR? Like it? Hate it? Compared to the 55-300mm VR?

For anyone with a micro 4/3 camera, I just tested the new Leica 25mm f1.4 and it is incredibly sharp!

I'd sell you my Nikon 18-35mm if you are interested. I barely use it.

Any one have the Canon EF 28mm 2.8 lens? Since i have a cropped sensor I was thinking of using this as my walk around prime. Any thoughts?

I would suggest the Sigma 24 1.8 instead as a walkaround lens.

Since I got it, it hasn't been taken off my 7D and I love it.

FM Reviews - Sigma 24mm f1.8 EX DG Aspherical Macro

It's a strange lens, big but light, wide but also works as a macro, and it's super fast at f1.8.

Canon 70-200 f4L non-IS and IS version, is it a big difference? i was thinking about the 70-200mm but would IS really be that important?

the 70-200 F4L - the IS version is actually sharper - but the IS itself actually makes a big difference if you're going to be shooting handheld. Not everyone has a steady hand that can shoot 200mm without IS - even during daytime.

But the price difference is quite high. on the used market - the non-IS version goes for about $600, while the IS version is about $1100. So it really depends on how much you want to spend. You can buy a used non-IS version first and see how you feel about it, and sell it later on if you want to upgrade.

The IS version is also weather sealed - which might mean it would last a little longer in the elements.

hrmmm.. i was hoping to pick up something wider than that. but that being said, how much are you askin'? :)

Asking for $350. Pm-ed you.

not a lens, but it goes on one!

trying it out now, hopefully it'll do what my gray card does, but so much easier.

^^^^ doesn't that give you a white balance? A grey card is more for getting the proper exposure.

About a Grey Card


now, i didn't know that about the card being used for exposure, i've always solely used it for white balancing. but i tend to get lazy and go through the process, forgetting to take it with me, etc.

still undecided. anyone have an opinion?
