how bout the ef-s 55-250 IS, cheap and decent lens or Tamron AF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di LD Macro Autofocus Lens or Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 APO DG Macro Autofocus Lens, since these are cheaper telephoto lens dun expect them to be sharp across all focal range though

Hi,

I think the 1st generation hard to find compare to the f1.8 II.

Ebay got sell last week. But now i dunno whether still available?

Why???

Host thread pls include me.

I bought the Canon 350D about 6 months. Just start to play around.

My Camera as below:

Canon 350D
Nissin Di622
Canon EF-S 18-55mm 3.5-5.6 II
Canon EF 50mm f1.8 II.

Thank
*
the 1st generation of the 50mm f1.8 is of much better built quality, and well worth it if can find one in good working condition

I read alot of books on about the setting for the camera.

Now is the time to put my knowledge into the art.

I got 1 sifu about 50 years old. He tell me on the camera knowledge.

I tell u he still have the canon AE-1 program and Nikon FM. Still function.

Now he plan to buy E3.

This lens hard to find liao. Like try to catch a needle in the sea.

The 1st manufacturing year is 1989.

So long time.

If u can find it. also not worth to buy.

Better buy 50mm f1.2

I plan to buy end of the year. Waiting bonus


Added on January 18, 2008, 9:24 pm

For sure i will dry up all him knowledge.

He ask me to buy the Nissin speedlite.

cause not need to waste money to buy the original canon speedlite.

This speedlite is nearly same as 430EX(RM1050)

My NissinDi622 just RM 525. Damn cheap
*
actually quite worth it if u can find a good working one, lens last a long time if well taken care off. I myself got the 1st generation 100mm f/2.8 macro lens recently, super sharp lens and good quality built. The 50mm f/1.2 is too expensive though.

with UV filter? smile.gif
yeah. it's around RM5-6K right? unsure.gif
*
yeah the 50mm f/1.2 L is around that price

QUOTE(hornetEJ @ Jan 18 2008, 09:59 PM)
The USD 120 lens is which one? 50mm F1.4?

The Fotokem at Sunway Pyramid also quoted me RM380. I guess RM380 is their list price. The salesman at another Fotokem that I talked to offered me RM300 though.
*
USD120 i think is for the 1st gen 50mm f/1.8
the 50mm f/1.8 if above RM300 expensive already, coz the lens alone got shop selling at 280-290, the 52mm UV filter is just 20+ only coz I got one for my 100mm

QUOTE(dazzle @ Jan 18 2008, 10:00 PM)
No uv filter. Is just the Lens.

Depend lah, 50mm f1.2L got 2 version 1 with USM and 1 wtihout USM. I think so
*
just one version i am afraid, 50mm f/1.2 L USM, the previous version is 50mm f/1.0

QUOTE(HKNP @ Jan 18 2008, 10:00 PM)
hahah I ask f1.4 .. some 1 poisoning for f1.2 pulak...
hahahhahaha

I got my hand on f1.4 tomorrow... but at night so cannot use during the bird shooting... even though I am not attending hahaha sorry guys.. tomorrow afternoon going to YL to get myself a decent camera bag 1st..
*
f/1.4 is good enough already, unless you got a lot of cash to burn smile.gif

UV filters is more to protect your front element rather than make your photos looks better, so of course it still works wonder. Just becareful not to accidentally poke anything on your front element though, UV filters are cheap, but the lens are not.
Other filters like CPL, ND Grad, etc are a different story.
