Propane Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Hey thanks for the thumbs up, and nice tractors up there haha. Nice pictures man! Makes me miss my old hometown of Canton, Ohio Oh, good old Ohio. I've been to canton a few times before... got some friends up at UAkron. I have the same lens and let me tell you - while it may take some good pictures, the camera will be able to to so much more with a better lens. The kit lens is notoriously average in terms of build quality - it recoils quite easily, so getting good shots is okay, but getting excellent shots is almost impossible! Yeah, I'd love to get some L series glass, but going to college is keeping me on the lower level lenses for now unfortunately. At least I have a friend who owns quite a bit of L lenses that I can borrow from time to time . The next lens I think I'm going to get is the EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS which goes with the kit lens. Its not great, but it gives me quite a bit of telephoto for a great price (300 USD) ace, looks like you had a lot of subject matter and spoilt for choice with the natural surroundings... I only don't like the macro flower shots (only because I find them clich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverfox Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 I have a 55mm-200 and it's much better quality, but it's a bit high on the f-stops for me still. I want to get a low 2/2.5 50mm lens sometime soon, but they are still not that cheap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverfox Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 which lens is that? I haven't seen a 55-200 that canon makes in my searches yet... Off the top of my head, I want to say it is the USMII f4.5-5.6, but I will confirm when I get home. It's an EF lens, not EF-S, so it multiplies out by 1.6x of course, but that's not a big deal. It makes it 88-320mm in real terms lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
