if u place it on 'something' then use low iso....

All in all, aim for the fastest shutter speed (assuming handheld)

- boost ISO to the maximum
- widest aperture

simple.

may i know the best price for canon 1000D now?

Anyone the price of getting the focus screen of 50D replaced with a new one?
Mine is scratched somehow =_="
Though not affecting the photo but it makes me feel uneasy to look at the "tainted" viewfinder lol.

I need a standard zoom lens to replace the 18-55 kit lens.

I'm thinking of getting the Sigma 17-70mm since the focal length range fits in nicely with my telephoto lens which is a Canon 70-200 F4L IS.

Just wondering, Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4.5 DC MACRO HSM that is with HSM is available for Canon mount? When I checked on Sigma's site, its stated that the HSM version is only available for Nikon mount. Does the HSM make a significant difference in terms of focusing speed?
The only drawback of the 17-70 is that it does not has OS compared to the kit lens.

The other option is to get the Tamron 17-50 but I heard that this lens has focusing problems.

17-55 F2.8 lol.
It's the best lens to replace the kit.

17-55 f2.8 is 3k+. Just got my 70-200 and to get this one is like

Seldom hear ppl complaining of T17-50 focus problem
some ppl say the 50-70 mm gap is not noticeable
at the long end it's 2 stops faster than kitlens
or you can get S24-70 f2.8
haha..then get C10-22 to cover wide angle

Get it if you can get money from somewhere. Take advantage on canon's 1+2 year warranty promotion.

raptor_cZn : I used both tamron 1750 and sigma 1770 before. Somehow i prefer sigma in terms of colors and sharpness. My tammy had some focusing problem...and its really noisy

i dunno why so many ppl so 'eager' to 'replace' their kitlens with something that is similar in terms of range...

i can even say a 18-200 lens is a good replacement for a kitlens. why not?

Got bored today and went to shoot a Gundam

are all the 50mm f/1.8 II soft at f/1.8 ?
is there a chance to find a sharp copy at wide open ?
I used to own it but due to funding something i sold the lens.

I have some gundam shots as well, but not as colourful as Redcross's...
