[QUOTE=/B/rother;28334294]Meh, it's not like you're rubbing your ~artsyy skilzz~ into our faces.[/QUOTE] I got none of that ~artsyy skilzz~, just a fucked up camera, and some film. :>
i hate when people think film = hipster faggot
I'm actually getting confused with this film stuff. Seems really complicated. Not only the different types, but getting it in there, and getting it out. Plus, I don't think I'm getting it in there tight enough. Some of my pictures are coming out dark and shaky looking. Don't know if my shutter is fucking up, or if the film is fucking up.
A had a blackout from all the hipster and now I don't know what day it is.
SB-700 Posted, better be here this week or I will fucking flip. I think I'll sell my Dell Ultrasharp, not really using it that much and to be honest, £400 could go towards a 35mm 1.8! :smile: My MBP is much nicer after calibration so I'd be okay to just edit on that.

The nifty fifty is the best lens. Don't even think about getting the 1.8 if you want one.
But the nifty fifty is the 1.8...
50mm 1.4 for £200 was jessops best deal
Actually it was £185 and I'm kicking myself for missing out on such a great typo.
I linked the 50mm by accident! DERP Want that 35mm 2.0 because the 1.8 is a DX lens, if I get into university I think I'll save for a full frame.

I need more lenses. :/ Nikon D5000 w/AF-S NIKKOR 18-55mm [img]https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_DFrXT_PHmcE/TW2PqelOncI/AAAAAAAAAhE/w6Vcy-fgGrU/s1024/DSC_0952.NEF.jpg[/img] Pentax Z-20(1993) [img]https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_DFrXT_PHmcE/TW2Q0Q93z1I/AAAAAAAAAhg/YcV8yUrPxvE/s1024/DSC_0957.jpg[/img] 2 Lenes for the pentax: 28-80mm Pentax 70-120mm Sigma Argus Seventy-Five(1949) [img]https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_DFrXT_PHmcE/TW2P2Mg6LyI/AAAAAAAAAhU/zgBsfrJIR24/s1024/DSC_0958.jpg[/img] Kodak Bantam(1935) [img]https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_DFrXT_PHmcE/TW2PzQhcLuI/AAAAAAAAAhQ/B5dtFeLs0pc/s1024/DSC_0956.jpg[/img] All of them work fine and i've taken photos on all of them.
I have: D80 with a Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 lens [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9055409/Other/IMG_0129.JPG[/img] And an SB-800 speedflash
I do a lot of sports photos for school. For Football (American), I bring 2 cameras: -Canon 1D MK II with a 70-200mm f/2.8 lens and a 1.4x magnifier - Used for the main action -Canon 5D with a 24-105mm f/4 - Used for shots along the sideline Basketball: -Canon 1D MK II with an 85mm f/1.8 lens These are pretty much the two setups that I use for indoors and outdoors respectively
how does the 1 series feel compared to the 5 series? (sounds like im talking about fucking bmws)
The 1D feel nice in the hands and benefits from having having the 8 FPS burst rate. I don't know if Canon improved the 1D since the MK II, but navigating menus and reviewing pictures is actually atrocious because your have to hold down buttons while using the dial, but you get used to it after a while. The 5D is nice and also has a nice 12.8 MP full frame sensor, so even if you take a picture and you find your subject to be a bit small, a simple crop can bring it enlarge it without sacrificing and noticeable quality. I can't really think of anything negative to say about the 5D other than it can feel a bit small sometimes.
[QUOTE=Hirouzamaki;28394838]I can't really think of anything negative to say about the 5D other than it can feel a bit small sometimes.[/QUOTE] That's what I thought. I have a 5Dii and as much as it is huge compared to rebels etc, it feels 'unbalanced' sometimes.

Canon 7D 50 1.8 11-16 2.8 Thinking whether to get a speedlite, a 35mm or a cage next

[QUOTE=DaveP;28473580]Canon 7D 50 1.8 11-16 2.8 Thinking whether to get a speedlite, a 35mm or a cage next[/QUOTE] speedlite. it's just so useful
[QUOTE=DaveP;28473580]Canon 7D 50 1.8 11-16 2.8 Thinking whether to get a speedlite, a 35mm or a cage next[/QUOTE] How is the 11-16 doing for you? That'll probably be my next lens.
[QUOTE=squish;28477969]How is the 11-16 doing for you? That'll probably be my next lens.[/QUOTE] I used one at school and it is great.
[QUOTE=DoubleDD;28488641]I used one at school and it is great.[/QUOTE] Thanks. I might consider renting one off Borrow Lenses. One week for $50 doesn't seem too bad; I don't think I'll be getting it for 2-3 months though so I might rent it over spring break when I have a full week to go out and take shots with it.
[QUOTE=mike;28477844]speedlite. it's just so useful[/QUOTE] Welp I had an sb-600 and I think the idea of the wireless ttl flash is awesome, it's just a bit lame that it's a piece of kit that can't be used for video. [QUOTE=squish;28477969]How is the 11-16 doing for you? That'll probably be my next lens.[/QUOTE] It's a great superwide, it's just a case of finding situations where a superwide works
[quote="DaveP"]It's a great superwide, it's just a case of finding situations where a superwide works[/QUOTE] If I get it it'll mostly be for landscapes; do you have any alternate recommendations fitting for landscapes?
[QUOTE=squish;28494143]If I get it it'll mostly be for landscapes; do you have any alternate recommendations fitting for landscapes?[/QUOTE] The Sigma 10-20 and Canon 10-22 are also great alternatives for landscape photography as you don't need the fast apertures.
[QUOTE=DoubleDD;28494533]The Sigma 10-20 and Canon 10-22 are also great alternatives for landscape photography as you don't need the fast apertures.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I'm not worried about aperture, just sharpness is what I'm looking for. The Canon 10-22 looks good. Maybe I'll look into that. The Sigma is more in my price range, but is the Canon worth it? Thanks for all the feedback. :)

I think out of the three, the Tokina 11-16 is the sharpest but the others are great options two. I don't think you can go wrong with them but you can always look into them some more with google.
Of my research, the Tokina appeared to be the most liked of the bunch
So I got a Canon 550D with the 18-55mm kit lens and I'm thinking of upgrading to a better lens and was wondering if the 55-250mm EF-S lens is a good choice?
