For beginner's DSLRs depende sa ano ba ang gusto at feel mo na gamitin (i.e. user friendliness, operating platform etc.)

Ang mahalaga naman kasi comfortable ka sa body ng DSLR mo.

Maginvest ka much sa mga lenses. Iyan ang payo nila sa akin.

 

I got a EOS 550D last June 10, 2010 sa PC Show dito sa Singapore. Dami ko nakuha freebies!!!

 

I'm planning to buy a 50mm lens later para sa mga portraiture shots.

Yung existing ko ngayon na lens is EFS 18-55mm.

Puwedeng puwede para mag-cover ng mga events and gatherings.

I plan to go to the National Day Parade fireworks display ngayung August.

 

Guys, puede ba kayong magpost ng mga works nyo and their camera settings for the benefit of us newbies in the craft???

Another photog newbie here. Why buy a 50mm lens if your present lens already covers 18-55mm? May advantage ba sa fixed lens?

Having a fixed/prime lens is a good practice because it doesn't make you lazy compared with zoom lens. This makes the photographer much more focused on his or her composition before shooting because he (or her) is doing the manual zooming (walking back and forth).

 

Question is which 50mm will you gonna buy. Is it the f/1.8 II or the f/1.4 version? Both has an excellent quality in terms of sharpness but I don't like the build quality of the f/1.8 II version. When I touch it I felt that I can easily break it compared with the f/1.4 version. f/1.4 is much faster and has a much stronger build quality, not to mention it produces good bokeh. However its prices ranges from 18-19K whie f.1.8 II is only around 4-5k.

 

If you have the budget and you were aiming for the f/1.4 version then go for it you can't go wrong with this lens. Since you were using a cropped body so equivalent range is around 80mm so it can already give you both full body and head/shoulder portraits. However, pushing your budget a little higher you can already purchase the EF f/1.8 85mm which gives you a much longer focal range which is much more ideal for portaits. IMHO, I'll just stick (for now) with my 18-55mm and buy the 85mm instead since the kit lens already covered the 50mm range

hi pinoymale

 

im no expert sa photography but i also own a 50mm lens.

1 advantage of this is the f-stop or the aperture, which in this case is, prime lenses has LOWER f-stops.

meaning, these kinds of lenses are faster on low lights

i guess since you now have a camera and with kit lens on, you already have noticed that your lens is weak when there is very poor light.

getting blurry pictures is somewhat frustrating

but with f/1.4,1.8.2.0 you, shooting on this kind of environment is a lot easier

plus, prime lenses are very nice for portraiture photography

it has nice bokeh, nothing compared to zoom lenses

hope this helps

 

bytearray's comment is very true, but for me 85mm is a bit pricey, i think it is around 17k and up for canon (f1.8)

while 50mm(f/1.4) is only 4k in hidalgo

is the price on the 50mm f1.4 correct? wow that is cheap...i'm a nikon user and the nikon f1.8 is around P5500...and the 1.4 is much much higher...(don't remember anymore)...

 

there is an advantage for the 85mm lens if used for portraiture...you have more flexibility in terms of shooting distance from your subject. also, if i am not mistaken, the 85mm lens (for nikon) is also a macro lens...so 2 birds with one stone...
