Both also not wide enough for crop.
Best solution is pair with 10-22

buy 10-22 if u like landscapes. shoot at between f5.6 to f8 for optimum. 3.5 is unusable imo. about the same fov as the 16-35mm on FF.
imho the 70-200 f4 non IS is hard to use. usable outdoor only mostly. indoor at f4 its quite hard to use when u zoom in... z:p


hi steven, if u r shooting on a tripod it's best to turn IS off on that lens. on some higher end lens it detects if the body is on a tripod but i always turn it off as well. since u r on a tripod if IS is turned on, the gyros are spinning inside and will try to compensate for movement which isn't there. so what you are showing in the pics is expected.

I'm aware that the manual says to off IS when using a tripod (reason is to safe battery ), i never thought that the picture quality can be so much different. Anyway, just now i tried with steady handheld, the difference is less noticeable.

trying multiple exposure using BULB mode~ will upload the result later~

Hi to all sifus here

I wanna to ask about the Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens.....does it a good buy?

It costing around RM350....my purpose to buy this lens is I want it's wide aperture which allow. Easier shoot at night and most important the bokeh produced by it

It is very cheap compared to the 50mm f/1.4L which is costing around 2K and 35mm f/1.2L which is around 5K something......I wonder how it's quality

50mm f/1.8 II is RM 290 and it is a very good lens at its price.
And 50mm f/1.4 is not an L lens.
You get what you pay.

definitely as a first lens. good for portraiture on 1.6 crop factor bodies. the build quality is not so good though with plastic mount but for that price nobody shud complain bokeh is nice.
the 1.4 ofc is better in build quality and optics. it's got a 8 bladed diaphragm which makes bokeh slightly rounder. the 1.8 has 5 blades. 1.2 is L series so price is multiple.

imho. just buy it first. even if u decide to get a 1.4 or 1.2 later u wont lose much to begin with.

p.s. as fruitie said u get what u pay for la haha.
