Tryna graduate from the Standard kit lens my canon 60d came with. What should be my next piece of glass?

I'd say a Canon 50mm/1.8 (better value than the 1.4) or the Sigma 30mm/1.4...

i know malaujai said to get a 50mm, and he's kind of right. you should get a solid 50mm lens, but with the crop factor on the 60d (x1.6), you should go with something like a 28mm, so you effectively have a 50mm. Otherwise that 50mm you buy will look like what an 80mm looks like on a full frame sensor from the same distance.

Any suggestions on lenses to upgrade from the standard Canon 18-55mm? Rule out: Tamron 17-50mm & 50mm f/1.8. Those are already on my hit list. Thanks.

^ Sigma 30/1.4 or 85/1.8

The 30/1.4 will be an overlap in focal length but the larger aperture justifies it IMO. The 85/1.8 is a good lens too.

it depends on what you want to do. like if you're shooting lions frolicking in the sahara, you should probably get a telephoto lens. if you're doing video or something, you should probably get a 28 or 50mm prime.

I was going to use the 50mm prime for video and the tamron for a walk around. i'd like a decent wide angle lens that's not too pricey but worth the bang for its buck. thanks!

dude if you're going for that, get the 28mm 2.8
www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/12096-USA/Canon_2505A002_Wide_Angle_EF_28mm.html

and if you feel like dropping some extra, the 28mm 1.8
www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/102851-USA/Canon_2510A003_Wide_Angle_EF_28mm.html

that 1.8 is the only lens i have, but i use it for nearly everything. check my sig, all the video on that website was shot with it. especially for doing night time stuff, having a 1.8 is heaven. 1 stop may now seem like a lot, but when you're in a dimly lit club, you saving yourself whatever noise bumping up the iso may cause. yeah it was expensive, but i've never looked back.

Those who have or used Magic Lantern before, can you tell me if it changes the layout of the screen? Or does it just only add on? I don't want anything changed apart from default/stock camera but i'd like the add on.

GREAT ADVICE!, i'll put this into consideration. Thank you.

So my grandad is sending me his old canon 35mm cam and a bunch of old film from vietnam era....Now my question is, will the film still be usable? Like it's obviously older than me, but I still want to try anyway.

They might be too old, but just give one roll a try and see. Might come out all extra vintage hipster looking.

Figured I'd try asking anyones take on lens fungus. Recently purchased a Minolta X-570 w/ a Minolta MD 50mm f/1.4 lens. Saw that it had mild fungus but since it was fairly cheap, I decided to pick it up. Now I want to know if its reasonable to take the lens to a respectable lens cleaner/repairer , if there are any methods to for DIY, or ditch the lens and buy a new one. Im currently using the camera to see if the fungus affects the picture quality.

Hmm...what are your settings for video? I have a t1i aswell, and I think the best settings to use are 128x720. You get 30fps but but it's still 720p. Sounds like you have it on 640x480.

I currently have a Canon 50mm 1.8 (XSi) and I want a little more flexibility, preferably on the wider side.

My choices:

1) Canon 28mm 1.8 USM
2) Sigma 30mm 1.4, I've heard there a lot of bad copies out there?
3) Tamron 17-50mm 2.8, unsure about this one, is it worth it? Are there bad copies?
4) Canon 17-40mm f4L, slower lens but I'm assuming the sharpest out of all my choices.

suggestions?

Fuck the f4. That's stupid slow. I'd rather get a canon 28mm out of all those choices. I personally like prime lenses too...

Tamron if you don't want to switch lenses. It's sharpness is almost as sharp as the canon 17-55 f2.8. Otherwise I'd go for the 28 or the sigma 30 1.4
