punk rebel ecks posted:Thanks. And its a wide angle lens right? (Being that its 18-55mm)? You should explain the situation which you're buying this for, it sounds like you're buying it for a friend or SO and chances are if they have any sort of "beginner" body they already have this lens e: to answer your question it's moderately wide on a crop body, 18mm is like 27mm ish on crop

QPZIL posted:That's why I go to as many antique stores and garage sales as I can... ONE DAY. One day. This old guy in my neighborhood keeps slowly but surely liquidating his collection, every year at the neighborhood garage sales i go there and buy everything he's got. This year the best one was an Argus C-3 for $3. I keep telling myself the guy's got a Rollei or something stashed away that he'll bring out one day.

Martytoof posted:Just off the top of my head, something like the 85L or 135L would be decent for portrait-style or tight product shots with a soft background. The regular 85mm is really underrated, the opticals are loving fantastic. who needs 1.2 anyways. or, for your crop sensor you might want the 50mm 1.4

Paul MaudDib posted:Pentax ME (non-super) plus a 50/1.7 Already have a Spotmatic and 50/1.4 HPL posted:Spare batteries. This might actually be the winner, strangely. Super boring but i've been wanting another battery for my 5DII for a while and this might be my chance. Or I might just get some weird off-brand TLR for the sake of having a TLR because they look cool.

Mr. Despair posted:Sounds like you still need a proper camera. There's no room next to my Hasselblad for an ME Super. E: somewhat related, I ended up buying like 15 rolls of Acros in 120. whereismyshoe fucked around with this message at 05:26 on Oct 10, 2012 |

Wyeth posted:17-40 is the best deal in L lenses by a large margin. Yeah, I love my 17-40. There hasn't been one instance where I've wanted that extra stop and couldn't just boost my ISO. 17mm on full frame is just awesome. That and my 85mm 1.8 are by far my favorite lenses.

Bob Mundon posted:In what situations would you use one? Just really long shoots? I think it's personal preference, really. I've always had one on my 5DII but i'm weird and am most comfortable with big clunky equipment. It also provides balance for bigger lenses

EvilElmo posted:Mainly snowboard park shots (rails, jumps etc). Video and photo. 70-200 f4L (assuming you shoot mostly in good light) and an ultrawide of some sort (action sports people love these) tokina 11-16 2.8, sigma 8-16, there's a few options out there. I'm not too well versed on the video side of things, but i know primes are generally more desirable for that and the canon 85mm 1.8 is incredible for the price.

Casu Marzu posted:40D is a drat good camera still if you don't plan on shooting over like ISO800. They're also really cheap lately on like FM and such. Contemplating getting one as a backup. Yeah I bought one for my girlfriend and she loves it, has a lot of awesome semi-pro features like back button autofocus and the nipple (can't remember the actual Canon term for it)
