Sigma 30mm 1.4 and canon 28mm 1.8 are almost the same price. i oso had this dilemma a few months ago - which to buy?

In the end I went with canon 28mm bcos it is an EF lens, so it can be put on full frame body, unlike the siggy, which is for crop body only.

Reason to get this range:
not as tight as the 50mm when using crop body.
Depth of field is wider, so when taking group shots at f1.8, not that many people are out of focus.
Can be used as a walkabout lens? biggrin.gif
When paired with one of the xxxD cameras, it is actually quite small - can stuff into almost any bag you carry.

as for the loss of 1/3 stop of light (compared to the siggy), i thought to myself - "newer bodies can push very high ISO oledi", plus if it really becomes so dark until i need that tiny bit extra f-stop, i might as well use my flash tongue.gif

OK, so 28mm and Siggy 30mm is almost the same price? sweat.gif
28mm is made of plastic right? unsure.gif
How's the 28mm's performance? biggrin.gif
If in that case, I'll go for Siggy 30mm because I think I'll still stick with cropped body for a while. laugh.gif
Anyway, don't misunderstand guys, I'm not getting now.... laugh.gif

THAT is very hard to believe brows.gif

Ya, the lens is made out of plastic, but so are a lot of other lenses nowadays. Lens mount is metal, though.

The siggy is also very nice, as some owners have already stated earlier. I tried one in the shop while I was making my choice. I just didn't get it bcos of previously mentioned reasons.

Anyway, performance-wise of the canon 28mm is nice, nothing to shout about... but one nice thing is that the minimum focus distance of these lenses are quite short, in the canon's case, it is 25cm, so u can do in-your-face shots of people tongue.gif
heck, u can even do macro shots - but not very effective macro laugh.gif

K, thanks for the update and will have some thoughts later. biggrin.gif

I guess for now an UWA should come first before the prime. laugh.gif

Yes, more pricey, but u have to understand I got this in KK, Sabah. Prices here are slightly more expensive than in KL or Penang.

Model = 550D
Remote control = Meiko

When I press on remote control, it directly auto focus and take a photo.
How to enable it with remote control + timer?
Means, after I press on remote control, photo will take after few second (not directly).

Need some advise, thanks.

Change your drive mode to 2 sec timer or 10 sec timer. It's that simple.

Okayy i know what others and i myself would say if you were to say "yes" biggrin.gif

Perhaps you might wanna look at prime lenses? Maybe a 85 f/1.8...great for portraiture

Or couple a cheapo 50 f/1.8 with a nice Nissin Di622 flashgun smile.gif

I just try it, timer is working, but not working with remote control.
One more thing, as normal timer, there are 2sec timer and custom timer (2sec-->10sec),
but the custom will take continuous shooting.

Question:
1) how to enable 10sec with one shoot? (by finger press on shutter button and IR remote control)
2) how to enable/set take photo with IR remote control with 2sec delay?

Model = 550D
IR Remote control = Meiko

Anyone can help blush.gif
