Any thoughts on NIKKOR 28mm f/2.8D?

Just got a 50mm 1.8 for my t2i and loving this lens way more than my kit lens. The only reason i got this was because of the price and it seemed perfect at the moment as i rather spend my money on the trip that i'm going to take. Just one problem though i'm about to use this for my walk around lens and taking photos and stuff, it doesn't seem like a good lens for taking photos that'll include the background. I should have went with a 35mm instead huh? What are your guy's suggestions?

if you want the background, maybe bring it down to around f8 - f16?

but yeah, when i first got the nifty fifty years ago, i didn't bother with my kit lens anymore - was such a good cheap lens

Oh my bad, maybe i wasn't clear but i was just wanting a wide angle lens since the nifty fifty is so close i can't get much of a background unless i backup a lot. But yea i really like it, probably will not bother with the kit lens unless i need wide angles.

@ uEih, I have a canon 28 1.8 which is a lot better focal length to work with than the 50mm. It's also a wide angle so maybe that's something you should look into.

Sigma 30 1.4 is also another option. Cheaper and faster but I've heard a lot of bad copies are floating around.
If money isn't an issue, the canon 35 1.4 is what I would get.

But the 30/35 aren't wide angles.

If you have the money i've heard good reviews about the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 if you truly want a wide angle lens.
It's a zoom lens obviously so it also gives you the flexibility.
But, if you're talking about a lens just wider than the 50mm then the 35mm will give you a lot more room to work especially on the t2i. Plus, it's cheap.

Have you thought about the Tamron or Sigma 17-50 F2.8? I think you could find some for around that price?

Canon 28 f/ 1.8
Sigma 30 f/1.4
Canon 50 f/ 1.4

use your 17-40 and try and get a feel of what focal length will best suit you, since your on a crop sensor i say go with the sigma.

SupraRZ and calintz thanks for the help, appreciate it. I looked at those and maybe they're out of my range at the moment but i'll keep that in mind when i'll buy a new lens. I think this 50mm will hold me for now.

if you plan on going full frame get a 50 1.4 it will be kind of tight on your current crop though.

Hey guys, avid digital photographer, but I want to get a film camera as a side-project. I shoot Nikon and the only lens I would be using is my 50 1.8, what would be a good, inexpensive film camera? I was thinking the N2000

I've used em. Nothing wrong with em for the price. Just try to get one with remote sync because you'll end up wanting to use them for off camera flash eventually.

Pretty much yeh. You get what you pay for with lenses. Having said that, fisheye lenses are a bit of a gimic anyway (to me) and image quality/sharpness ain't a deal breaker in having a shot. The Samyang 8mm is cheap as chips and will let you experiment with fisheyes.

is the t3i worth getting over the t2i? if not is there anything better but in the same price range as the T2i? and is it better to buy just the body and leave out the 18-55 kit lens?

thanks

personally, I don't think so. Unless you care for a swivel screen which imho could come in handy in some situations.
If not, just get the t2i. I'd highly recommend going for a 60D if you got a little bit of extra cash.
Unless you can get a t2i/t3i for a steal deal.

As for the kit lens, depends. That lens isn't the best but it's great for people first starting out.
If you already own quality glass I don't see the point of getting it though.

Which one are you looking at? Im debating between the YN-460II or YN-560. I can get a direct mount for my sony for the 460II, but I would need a hot shoe adapter if I get a 560.

I went ahead and ordered both ahaha! I figure I could use the 460II for daily use and 560 off camera during photoshoots.

why are you using a 460II on camera? you know that's a manual flash right? what you were looking for would probably be a YN-468 (not sure if they make that for sony mount), but a 467 would work well too.

the 60D is kinda overrated to me (especially upgrading from a 50D) since there's no micro-adjustment, and the body isn't made of magnesium alloy like the 50D, 40D, etc. i'd rather invest in a T3i, and save the rest towards some glass.

but i agree with you on the kit lens statement.

^ careful buying off eBay, as you can accidentally buy a 'grey market' camera, which you can't get a US warranty for (through canon).

the first one MIGHT be good, but i'm pretty sure the one you posted in the 2nd link is a grey market (since most grey market ones are sold bundled with other items).
