Question for the photographer types here...[views:1859][posts:12]______________________________________ [Oct 10,2007 10:47pm - JayTUS nli ""] Anyone ever bought from this website? http://www.1wayphoto.com/ Prices are great, especially on the lens I am thinking of getting. It's a couple dollars more on an ebay auction ending in a few and just don't want to get burned... thanks. |

| _______________________________________ [Oct 10,2007 11:30pm - the_reverend ""] yeah, the prices there are saving under like $10. I would add http://www.jr.com to that list to. call them up and you might get free things too. |

I was looking at the Canon Zoom Wide Angle-Telephoto EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens and they had it for $249 but no way am I ordering there now. I just wish I had looked into this earlier so I didn't miss that ebay auction... |

| ______________________________________ [Oct 10,2007 11:57pm - JayTUS nli ""] What would you recommend for a decent lens for now that's not going to break the bank. The ones I have are... meh. I thought the image stabilization would do me good. I got some decent shots at the Patriots game over the weekend with my 75-300, but still, I need a solid lens for shows. Not stoked with the stock 18-55. [img] [img] |

| ______________________________________ [Oct 11,2007 1:56am - the_reverend ""] there is a 70-200IS |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 11,2007 7:58am - JayTUS nli ""] Yeah but I would need something less than 70 for shows. I can barely even use my 75-300 at shows right now. Just looking for a decent close range lens... |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 11,2007 8:12am - the_reverend ""] that lens isn't much better than the kit lens that you have. on a DX camera 28mm wide angle is almost useless (unless you really liketaking arty photos where you cut off the person's head and most of the guitar). use you kit lens and buy the 580ex II and a 50mm f/1.8. then save up for a 17-55 f/2.8 you claim that you don't know anything about this camera stuff yet so why toss money out on things you don't need or aren't right? if you are willing to just toss cash like that, I need a new sb-800 and they are like $300. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 11,2007 9:15pm - JayTUS nli ""] The flash is going to make that big of a difference huh? I guess I'll bump that to priority #1. That 50mm f/1.8 seems pretty cheap and I've heard others say it is pretty good, so I'll try that one out. For some reason I just imagine that was the lens most other people were using. Oh well, I trust your advice which is obviously why I am here asking haha... |
| _______________________________________ [Oct 11,2007 10:47pm - the_reverend ""] no, just lik everyone else, you ask advice to hear youself talk. not to get people's Advice. the flash is a must and will extend your usage of the kit lens until you can buy a good lens. the 50mm f1.8 is $80 and a must. you can learn the fundamentals with that. |
