| ______________________________________ [Oct 1,2013 12:26pm - the_reverend ""] -Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM Lens ? the fuck? why didn't you save the money and get a 50mm 1.8? |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 1,2013 12:27pm - the_reverend ""] don't get a 64GB card, get a few 16GB cards. so if one dies, you don't lose everything. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 1,2013 12:45pm - Alx_Casket ""] I liked that the 40mm was a pancake form, and I got it for the same price as the 50mm. I also preferred the metal mount (better build quality, didn't want to deal with the 50mm sticking to the camera that I've read a lot of people experience) and the STM for quieter focus. Plus, I don't have a huge bokeh boner, so the 1 stop didn't make a difference to me. Also focuses closer than the 50mm. I need a large card for raw HD video, planning to load up magic lantern once I've gotten the hang of the basics. Though maybe I'll get 2x32 instead |

| _____________________________________ [Oct 1,2013 1:54pm - the_reverend ""] the difference between 1.8 and 2.8 is a stop and a half. |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 1,2013 2:27pm - Alx_Casket ""] yeah, I might get a gray box 50mm 1.8 for manual focus HD... I do like the 40mm as a walkaround lens though |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 1,2013 2:28pm - the_reverend ""] I would have gotten the 35mm f/1.8. If you are going to get a 50mm manual, why not get a 55mm f/1.2? |

| _________________________________ [Oct 3,2013 4:35pm - CurlyRed ""] The 85mm 1.8 is nice to shoot with. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 3,2013 4:44pm - the_reverend ""] he's shooting with an APS so 85mm would be way long. the 55mm is an old lense. ebay. |
| ______________________________ [Oct 3,2013 6:09pm - hlrie ""] Personally I think you'd be better off with the 24-70 2.8 and call it a day. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 3,2013 7:23pm - curlyred ""] I have the 24-70, I love that lens. I was thinking of starting to shoot film again someday. |

I was thinking about getting the 24-105mm L lens with IS, reviews are saying it's sharper than the 24-70. The macro is a nice feature, but sharpness is more important. Have you had a chance to compare the two? |

| ____________________________________ [Oct 3,2013 10:30pm - Alx_Casket ""] Not to mention the 24-70 costs a kidney |

| ______________________________ [Oct 4,2013 1:11am - hlrie ""] I don't shoot Canon. But I have a real hard time believing that lens is sharper than the 24-70. Highly doubtful. |

| _____________________________________ [Oct 4,2013 8:53am - the_reverend ""] the 24-105 looks just plain awful at f2.8 |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 4,2013 8:53am - the_reverend ""] f/2.8 > f/4 > macro |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 4,2013 9:10am - Alx_Casket ""] Not paying 3x as much for 24-70 f2.8, going with the 24-105 f4 instead. hlrie: the 24-70 does have an advantage at 24mm but at 70mm the 24-105 beats it. It wasn't an easy decision, but then the price difference made it easier. And for a 1st gen 24-70 f2.8, its lack of IS compared to the 24-105 nullifies the one stop advantage in my book. |

| ___________________________________ [Oct 4,2013 1:43pm - Alx_Casket ""] Yeah, I've really shown my true colors by not spending $2500 on a lens when I'm admittedly new to shooting DSLR. Pfft. I can always turn around and sell any of this stuff if I want to upgrade later. |

| ______________________________ [Oct 4,2013 1:49pm - hlrie ""] You don't really need image stabilization at that range btw but hey whatever you like. My opinion stands. 24-70 is a far superior lens. And in camera equipment you get what you pay for. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 4,2013 1:57pm - the_reverend ""] every time I've gone with a non-2.8 lens when the 2.8 lens was available, I end up buying the crappier lens and then the better lens. |
| ______________________________ [Oct 4,2013 2:01pm - hlrie ""] Same. Learned my lesson pretty quick on that one. I'll never waste money doing that again. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 4,2013 2:05pm - the_reverend ""] ditto... well, I still bought a 17-35, 15-30, 12-24 that were all subpar... but after that. though the 15-30 and 12-24 are sort of in a world of their own. |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 4,2013 2:06pm - Alx_Casket ""] Have either of you ever dabbled in 3rd party lenses or do you stick to the make of your camera (Nikon)? |
| ______________________________ [Oct 4,2013 2:16pm - hlrie ""] Haven't used my 12-24 in ages. Might just sell it. The chromatic aborations on F4 lenses make me nuts. No I haven't bought any 3rd party lenses. If I was going to I would stick with Sigma though. They did just come out with a 1.8 zoom that made me think about it. But.... |
