Firestone Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Still learning here and love the pics. Could some one tell me or PM and let me know roughly what one of these lenses costs?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~*Shell*~ Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Depends on what brand of SLR you have firestone. If you have a canon, you're looking at about $120 for the 50mm 1.8 and about $550-600 for the 50mm 1.4 - the sigma 50mm 1.4 is about the same and comes with a nikon or a canon mount. I'm not sure about the other brands. Last I heard, the nikon 50mm 1.4 was cheaper than the canon but it all depends on where you get it from.

macka Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I just paid $380pp for my sigma 50/1.4 second hand (barely used, as new) which I consider to be a bargain. The canon 50/1.8 or "nifty 50" gives you good bang for your buck - as Shell mentioned you can pick one up for around $120. I'm not a fan of the canon 50/1.4 -I don't think it's as nice as the sigma. The canon 50 1.2 is gorgeous but will set you back about $1200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firestone Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Thanks Shell and Macka. ;) I have the Canon 450d and a learner. I just loved the pics in this thread. The 1.2 is outside my price range thats for sure hubby would have kittens. I will keep this in mind and as I get more confident and learn more I just might have to have one of these.

Kirislin Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 If I was buying again knowing what I do now about the Canon 50 1.4 I wouldn't buy it again. Mine is faulty and it's having it's second stint in hospital. The first time they couldn't find the fault. Now it's only 2 months out of warranty they suddenly find it needs work and will cost me $374.63 to repair. ;) After another email from me they've decided to repair it free of charge, as a gesture of goodwill, they say. Yeah right. I think it's an obligation, I should be able to expect a $600 lens to last longer than this. Next time it would be a toss up between the cheapie nifty fifty or the Sigma which has better bokeh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anniek Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 just keeping this thread bumped - these were taken this morning with the 1.8 it's the only lens i can cope with at the beach as the others are too bulky to deal with when i have the dogs flying around! hey - there's a toller up your bum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogs4eva Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Hi, a newbie DSLR owner here, thought I'd post a few pics I took with the 1.8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 Annie that first photo is just lovely, just makes me wish I was standing there too, I bet that's going on the next calendar. Congrats dogs4eva on your new camera. Are you thrilled with it. I especially like your first 2 photos, beautiful expression on your lovely dog and I like the way he/she's isolated from the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to stick to GSN dogs in the calendar, but I might put it on redbubble so I can buy a card :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirislin Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 A Herd of Whippets consisting of my 5 and I met up with another friend who has 3, one of which I bred, Muffin who is Kibahs daughter and Feathers sister. Stitch in foreground, then from L - R Muffin, Penny, Tag, Puck, Tex, Feather and Kibah. Hang about you lot. Something I must get used to is trying a higher ISO and smaller f/stop so I could've got them all in focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
