If you're a Micro 4/3s shooter (Panasonic "GF" series, Olympus "EP).. the sharpest lens you can possibly buy for under $400 is the Contax G 45mm F/2 Zeiss Planar. It's sharper than my friend's L primes and is, in relative terms, extremely cheap.

45 Planar is one of the sharpest lenses available.

What is the difference between the Nikon d60 and d3000? Anyone care to explain?

I'm not to familiar with cameras since I am just getting into photography

No real difference. They share the same 10mp sensor as the d80. The d3000 is just slightly newer.

If you're choosing between the two id definetly get the d60. The d3000 has a retarded menu system. I loved my d60 when i owned it, perfect starter cam.

all I do is sip espressos and listen to AZ -mrelllis.tumblr.com

I think Canon just release a few new flashes, one of which has a light for video recording.

Is anyone with a Nikon/Canon shooting with a Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8-4.5? I plan on upgrading my kit lens on my Sony to one. I'm already using a Sony 35mm F1.8 and Minolta 50mm F1.7

That doesent seem much better then the kit lens. You need an 18-50 with a constant 2.8 apeture.

That Minolta is alright. But that price is a little steep. And the meters suck on those so you would need to get a light meter. Almost every thrift store in my area has Srt series minoltas and they sell em for like 5 bucks.

I would recommend a canon ae-1

Thanks, I'll look into something with a constant aperture.

Expect to pay much more for a constant aperture versus a variable one.

I already know what I'm expecting. Time to wait for deals. Hopefully the 35 and 50 suite my needs for awhile. I just get crammed shooting once in awhile when I go to places with limited space to move around.

I would suggest you first read the manual front to back. You can also download the manual from Canon.

Some features are explained here: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos1000d/page14.asp

I'm curious...Could I still record video on my T1i with a FD lens and an adapter? I know I can take pics without AF and shit but will the video option work?

edit: also what are the pros and cons of a FD adapted lens vs the normal AF one? the price difference between the models make the FD seem evermore appealing.

I just looked into that recently as well. From my quick research it is possible, but it's a bit of a pain in the ass. One recommendation I've seen is to use an F to EOS adapter for manual Nikon lenses (albeit said lenses are usually more expensive than Canon FD).

Video should work regardless of lens.

^Thanks man I might use this as option for the future. The price of all the modern Canon lenses are a bit too expensive for my wallet right now.

Guys I'm shooting videos on my T2i and have been hired for music videos more often now.
I have a 50mm 1.8 but the crop factor is 1.6x its too much.

I was thinking a 24mm 2.8 but then I lose some low light functionality. I saw someone else shooting with a 50mm 1.4 and doing a great job. Which one should I get?

www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtyhxO5NOj0&feature=channel_video_title << This was shot with a 50 1.4 on a Panasonic Lumix

I'm thinking of getting the same thing for my t2i (50mm 1.4) and selling my 50mm 1.8 because me and this guy shot on the same night and his quality is a lot better - what do you think?

24mm 2.8 or get a 50mm 1.4 (I'll be shooting a music video in a party soon)

Is a 50mm F1.4 FD with an FD to E0S Adapter a viable option? Considering I mainly want to shoot video? it would save me

Word I know, I just wanted to see if the quality would be affected, the only thing I know of is that i'll lose an fstop or two with the adapter.

Fuck both of those and get a 28mm 1.8, the canon version is roughly 500 bucks, but there is a sigma version that's about 50 bucks cheaper. I was going to shoot a video at a party as well and I often find that the 50mm on a crop body is way to close for my liking in doors.
