Hi guys,

Need to ask, what kind of model of lense should i get if i wanna look for a wide angle lense? wide angle is multi focal or cannot focus wan?

what about this zoom lense? u think it's worth buying ah?
EF 75-300mm F4-5.6 III USM = RM 850

First up, how wide is your definition of wide?

Wide angle lenses, usually, are able to focus.

coz like sometimes when i do close up to ppl's face, it's really close and no place to see background at all.
i was thinking of getting a type of lense can be close up to face yet still can see background. i dunno how to show oso ehehe

What lens are you using now then?

i'm using 18-55mm only the original wan. hehe i was thinking of a lense to get so i was considering the said above zoom lense or a wide angle

but if u use wide on a person's face close up, the distortion will look pretty funny. try it!

The only wider lens i know of is the EF-S 10-22 Ultra Wide Angle. It is not often used for portraiture the wide angle perspective is difficult to control.

The telephoto zoom on the other hand is a typical consumer level zoom. Nothing good or bad about it.

just wondering.... did u zoom to max when u take that pic?? or did u put the cam too close to the subject?? because i had been wonder how can a face cover full image...

did try to move away further from subject?

hehe... im just thinking about cheaper alternative compare to buying new wide lens just for portrait purpose...

ppl usually use wide lens to capture panorama right??

on on the other side.... full portrait sometime can be nice also... in some situation i think....

Canon EF 14mm f/2.8L USM Ultra Wide Angle AutoFocus Lens

Beware though, wide angles are NOT for potraits, u'll distort the person beyong recognition. Its for a whole new perspective in photography. It'll make u go REALLY close. =)

Get the EF-S 10-22mm F3.5, good ultra wide zoom and all rounder lens also.

No good! Get the EF 70-200mm F2.8 IS = RM6200

lol ac98, 6200!!!!!!!

EF 75-300mm F4-5.6 III USM IS FOR ZOOM LENS RITE?

i think wide definition is for lens that focal length is lesser than normal human eye focal length right??

and yes... 70-200 and 75-300 is zoom lens....


correct me if im wrong...

wide angel lense got multi focal and also fixed focal. depends on what u want
if you want those potrait then background blur, then get a fixed aperture wan

for EF 75-300mm F4-5.6 III USM worth buying or not
yes if you use them
no if you dont

helps?

for EF 75-300mm F4-5.6 III USM

the F4-5.6 part is the number smaller the better? coz how come i see the number smaller the price bigger wan?

ac98, u wanna kill me meh?? beginner only buy 6200 lense ah?

ppl wont look u as a beginner when u r holding it

haih..ya lo ya lo...
went to genting last weekend to practise a bit on photo shooting.. ppl from here n there asking me whether i'm a photographer and they would like me to shoot them hahaha

wow thats cool
charge them~ hehe

No, it's for peeping your neighbour's daughter

Dun ask questions about what number bigger or smaller, BUY FIRST then we'll teach you. Kill you? You're about to spend Rm875 on a lens and I am just recommending a better one for you wor ... Rm6200 is MONEY and Rm875 is not, you're very rich man, it's half month of salary for some people
