Photo and Pictures

My second camera is Canon and i have it borrowed out to my brother. Taking photos show that a new world opens up with the fixed lens at 50mm: 1.8 and I have been a little hard to see why they insist on passing a crude zoom lens with startup packages. I can take much better pictures with the cheaper fixed lens at 50mm, which has both improved brightness and sharpness across the image. Since i wrote this the quality of the zoom-lens improved and are stabilized too.

It seems quite clear that they have been screwed over and over when you realize how much better images as the cheap fixed lens does. Okay, I may run more because the zoom can sit in your feet, but the images are huge much better. Furthermore, I can shoot in lower light indoors and I think most beginners in the photo is more than served than to avoid moving around. Are you buying your first SLR so skip the half dodgy kit-lens (since i wrote this kit-lenses has improved though) and get a 50mm fixed lens instead. Then, to get a zoom lens, it is still better to go for a little longer focal length.

My advice to you who like to get SLR is to buy a fixed lens on 50mm and then obtain an economic lens and Canon has, I believe that their new 55-250mm can be an economical option where you get a very good zoom lens with Image Stabilizer . The problem with cheap lens is the brightness which is not at all particularly good.

What is frightening is that many retailers look to the cheap option is difficult to obtain by small stocks and long waits. I had to wait three weeks before I got my fixed lens. They obviously want you to buy the more expensive options where they have higher profit margins. They bite themselves in the foot and you make sure to order the more expensive option and force then to have to wait more. We as customers can control the market by requiring that there be good cheap quality products in stock. The complainant and above all do not buy the more expensive option because it is what they have in stock.

You will find pictures with the lens here and here (if you refresh the page will be more random images).
