Well it's X-mas soon... time to get yourself an early X-mas gift
 Planning to get 1-2 lens myself by end of this month... but budget constraint will probably make me settle with only 1 of my fav lens and maybe 1 cheap substitute.. |

Hi a new (second hand) 6d user here.
 using a 16-35, 50mm f1.4 non l and tokina 100mm macro lens. Still have no chance to do street shooting yet as i am busy  Finally got a proper dslr after fiddling with mirrorless (m43 and a7) all the while. I think all different type of camera (DSlR or mirrorless) have their own place and it all depends on the need and circumstances at the time  |

QUOTE(mingyuyu @ Dec 10 2015, 09:14 AM) i would suggest getting something like a 50mm + extension tubes until you managed to save up for a new set of macro lens. i sold my 50mm macro to get the tamron 28-75  QUOTE(g88 @ Dec 10 2015, 09:17 AM) common error 01 i got a shock actually, while the camera was idle, suddenly the sound as if u forcefully grind the gear, the kind of sound that will hurt u bad...  |

So no need to purposely get a macro lens for now good thing then  i wonder how much magnification do you actually need for food shots? i guess very seldom you will go more than 1:2? |

QUOTE(mingyuyu @ Dec 10 2015, 08:43 PM) good thing then Hardly, but just love a macro coz we can go very close to the subject instead of cropping in pp later... i wonder how much magnification do you actually need for food shots? i guess very seldom you will go more than 1:2? This is the last shot of the sp90, just love how it can capture the details on the stem, somehow the earlier 24-105 wasn't that pixel sharp...

QUOTE(ganick5461 @ Dec 14 2015, 11:08 PM) Why do you switch from A7 to 6D? I still have the a7 using old Nikon lenses. I suppose a7 is light enough to use when weight is problem. Something I miss using AF lens so 6d with 50mm lens will do the work.Still not used using dslr for street shooting.. |
