You seem fairly convinced that you need a UWA lens to properly take interior shots of your bar, and I'm not sure that's the case. I mean, yeah, you can capture everything all at once in one big shot, and it might make things look big and spacious, but unless you're really careful in your composition and planning, you could end up with a shot that's just confusing or jarring to the viewer. edit: I'd recommend borrowing/renting equipment before investing too much in one platform or idea. High ISO and wide-angle isn't a solve-all.

Is the 1.4 a huge upgrade over the 1.8? Or are you mostly just letting in one additional stop of light and all the ancillary benefits that go with that?

I don't drink, I don't do drugs, my only hobby I really spend money on is photography. I dunno if I'll have all those in 2 years, but I should have at least a couple primes under my belt by then. Also I have the 50/100 primes and the 70-200 already. The 30mm and 400 5.6 aren't horribly priced either. Casu Marzu fucked around with this message at 02:25 on Mar 27, 2013 |

Star War Sex Parrot posted:It's fun/embarrassing to watch my progression in the Canon thread. I started posting in there in 2010 when I unloaded my 20D in hopes of a 60D; instead ended up getting a 7D. Then I got some L-glass. Then I got the 5D Mark III. That's why I asked- pretty much the same for me: 1000D -> 1D2 ->1D2+ 5D2 (and some other nex,fuji mirrorlesses) -> (?? 5D3/1D4) 18-55 + 70-300 -> 17-50 tamron + 50 1.8 + 70-200 4 -> 35L + 20-35L + 24 TS-E + 70-200 2.8 IS II e: I forgot a few lenses including zeiss 35/2, 85 1.8, 100L that were bought, used for a while, and sold. I like swapping gear out when I have time to play with things.

That's the other thing I didn't think about I guess. My 60D is alright, but I already see why I'd love a 1D or 7D. I could see myself upgrading in the next year or two to a new body.

My path is kinda weird. Canon 40D -> Canon 60D -> Canon 60D + Canon 40D 17-50 F2.8 -> 17-50 F2.8 + 70-200 F4 -> 70-200 F4 + 24-70 F2.8 Yep, liked the 40D that much. That was all in 4 years.

my first L was the 70-300. I started in 2010 with a T2i, 70-300 IS USM, Tammy 17-50 nonVC, and 100mm USM macro 2011: sold the T2i and 70-300 -> 60D + 70-300L, later + 50/1.8 2012: sold the Tamron 17-50, 100mm USM Macro, bought Sigma 8-16, + Sigma 30 1.4, + 40mm 2.8, + 17-40L, + 100L macro so far nothing this year... so far.

I'm getting out of film and into digital, and I'm trying to make the decision between Nikon (which I know and have used in the past), Canon, or a beefy M4/3 setup like an OM-D. Am I right in thinking that Canon is lacking in the primes area? I know with Nikon I had a bunch of G lenses, AF-D lenses, AI, AIS, whatever I wanted to use, but the selection doesn't seem to be there with Canon, they seem to focus more on zooms. Am I wrong there? With the 800 or so that I'm looking to spend, I'm thinking of a 50D and a Tamron 17-50 (399 + 300 or so). The other option is a Nikon D90 + Tamron 17-50.

FYI you can get a 40D for ~$200 these days, and it performs on par with the 50D if you don't need megapixels for megapixels' sake. Use the money you save to get a 40mm pancake, which is awesome.

Dead wrong. Canon has something like 41 primes currently being sold.

Doesn't matter which anymore, since the best primes aren't Canon or Nikon anyways. ~sigma~ Canon for AF, Nikon for ISO and DR. Mightaswell fucked around with this message at 04:13 on Mar 30, 2013 |

Also, Nikon bodies, even the entry-level ones have AF systems that surpass anything Canon except for the 5d3 and 1dx. And I guess you're right about Nikons having better ISO and DR, but it's a Sony sensor, so...

For the sigma's, I'm referring to the new 35mm, 50 and 85 1.4's. which personally I would choose over the first party counterparts. Also maybe the AF is a bit of a generalization but the 7d beats anything Nikon has in crop, and the 5d3 beats anything short of a d4. I guess a d700 has better AF than a 5d2 so, eh. Rock Paper Scissors. The last generation of Nikon sensors are made by Sony, Toshiba or Nikon depending on the body.
