skip mo na yung 24-105. 24-70 f/2.8 L at 70-200 f/4 L IS na agad. hahaha!
seriously: as per your sig, meron ka nang decent focal length range. level up muna ng skillz bago ng gear

Just got my 55-250 yesterday. Will test it out this weekend in coron. :happy:
-
@slide, yup! ok nako sa range ng setup ko. kakatuwa paglaruan ang 50mm 1.8 hehe! more practice!
@suavegabe, nataon lang natepok lcd nung isang lappy, plan ko pa din pagawa then bigay ko sa nanay ko
@Udongski, nice! price and IQ wala talagang talo sa lens na yan. shot lang ng shot!!! woooot!
my plan kasi is to get 24-105 L and dream for 100-400f4 L IS mas mura kesa 70-200 2.8L IS
and doubled the boso! weeee!!!! sarap mangarap! kekeke
-
24-105 + 100-400 naisip ko rin yun hehe! but i'm more inclined to getting a 70-200 f/4 IS next kase mas mura and mas magaan kaysa sa 100-400 ^__^

The pancake Oly 17mm f/2.8 and the Panasonic 20mm f/1.7 look really, really nice. Both would go well with the newly announced Oly E-P1 or the Panasonic GH1 ...
The olympus E-P1 "Digital Pen" + 17mm 2.8:
(http://a.img-dpreview.com/news/0906/Olympus/EP1/main2.jpg)
Panasonic G1 + 20mm 1.7 prototype?
(http://www.digitalcamera.jp/html/HotNews/image/2008-09/12/20mmF17-L.jpg)
The 20mm would be a 40mm-equiv. normal lens, the 17mm will be a 34mm-equiv. medium-wide.

gwapo nung oly! may local srp na?
EDIT:
US srp at 899usd. ouch.

Imagine if you had a 4/3rd mount version of the sigmonster, and the Oly e-p1...

para sa mga nagde-decide sa 24-70 f/2.8L USM vs 24-105 f/4L IS USM
review by luminous landscape
http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/lenses/28-105.shtml
For all intents and purposes, both these are superb lenses and there is very little difference in their practical resolution.
At 24 mm the 24-105 mm lens is definitely better at the edges at f4 and f5.6. This finding is slightly surprising to me as f4 is the maximum aperture for the 24-105 mm lens, whereas the 24-70 mm is stopped down by one stop. By f8 the lenses are hard to tell apart. They are equally good at the centre.
At 35 mm the lenses are practically identical and I’d only give a very slight edge to the new lens, and only at f4. The difference is more one of contrast than resolution, to my eyes. The 24 -70 mm seems to have just a teeny bit of flare around small details.
At 50 mm the same applies; a tad better contrast from the new lens but otherwise it’s hard to discern any difference.
At 70 mm I can’t tell any difference between the two lenses.
In addition to eye-balling the screen with the pictures at 100%, I made a couple of 16 by 20 inch prints at the highest resolution my Epson 4000 can muster. I cannot see any difference in the results. From the point of view of a practical, working photographer, as opposed to an optical physicist working on a sophisticated bench, these lenses are essentially identical in their resolution.
If there has to be a winner here, it’s the 24-105 mm lens on account of higher contrast. The baffle mentioned above appears quite effective. I also feel that f4 is a very practical aperture for this lens, even though it’s then wide open.

and it was shot using a Nikon D300 :))
anyway, when choosing between the two lenses 24-70 and 24-105, you have to ask yourself "where will you use the lens?"
In my case, it was really a no brainer because I needed the 2.8 aperture for indoor sports.
The second concern is the weight. How much do you think can you handle heavy lenses (the 24-70 is one heavy lens)?
The third concern is usually the type of shots you usually take because the 24-105mm has a slight edge in the telephoto side. But nothing that the feet cannot answer
-
^^ I'm going for 24-105 as a hobbyist. Bring it anywhere lens. But I'm for 24-70 if and only if portrait photography is my profession. And yes, it's darn heavy.
-
yup me too, ill go for 24-105 ^__^
-
going for the 24-105 will keep you thinking... "what will a 24-70 2.8 can do?" hehehe
in any case, bitin saakin ung 24mm for a crop body.
-
kaya dapat may EF-S 10-22 na kasama yung 24-105 ;)
-
Meron bang store/shop dito sa pinas na nagpaparent ng lens?

24-70 is not exactly a portrait lens, it's more of a "wedding" lens. you'll be wanting a longer lens for portraits, otherwise you'll be often at the long end of the lens. 24-105 would be better for that; easier to hide distracting backgrounds and less funky distortions that you get from a wider lens. in a studio where you can control everything, primes still rock.

hehe uu nga, to think na f/4 ang 24-105. pagdating sa indoor and low light makikita ang powah ng f/2.8
-
ey, thanks for the link.
-
Para sakin mas ok p rin 24-105, mas versatile. Ung 1 stop diff nya s pwede mabawi using hi iso, or kung static subject lamang k n ng 2 stops Tv dahil sa IS. Kung dof naman paguusapan, hindi lang naman aperture ang factor, focal length and subject distance can be adjusted for optimum dof. The dof at f/4@105mm and f/2.8@70mm is almost the same.
Of course not every photog is like me, that's why canon makes both.
-
Ok na combo nga yung 10-22 plus 24-105. Or sa uwa yung 11-16 2.8 ng tokina para pwede din sa low light.
-
kaya nga in the end, the choice is really in the shooting style. In my case, lowering the shutter speed is a big no-no. Increasing ISO in a situation where an F/2.8 and ISO 1600 is needed as a minimum wlll also be a problem

True. That's why I got the 17-55, doesn't have the red ring but sure gives me the IQ I love!

And it would be expensive too. Any lens with “Jesus Glass” would cost 30 pieces of Silver.

Hindi na nga ako maka-afford bumili ng 70-200, gagastos pa ako para magrent ng extra body/flash :) Gusto ko sana lens lang para magamit ko yung existing canon body/flash ko...
@barurutor: walang 70-200 2.8 sa cameracart :(

Well, in the end, I rented a Nikon 80-200 2.8, and borrowed my brother's D200+SB600. Wasn't able to use my Canon

gusto ko palitan yung kitlens ko... minsan parang ang cheap tignan ng dslr pag kitlens ang naka salpak.. keke
gusto ko kahit 17-85 IS USM. meeeeyaaaaw...... meeeeyaaawww....

^^ You may also consider 17-40 F4L. Cheaper but it won't make you look cheap.

Or a tamron 17-55mm 2.8 =D

@heishi,
bigay mo na lang sa akin kit lens. hehe.

-
thanks for the suggestions, tamron 17-50 is around $300-350 here im not sure about the 17-40
1st thing to consider is the anti-shake feature, i honestly need it.. the 17-85 is the at the same price
range as tamron 17-50, therefore i need to choose between IQ or IS+range...
can i have all those features in just $300 range? kekeke!
-
upgrade ka na ng lens? wannabe ka kasi. lolz
-
I recently upgraded to Tamron 17-50 and sulit cya for its price.
No IS but I never missed it after upgrading from IS kitlens.

camera shake at 50mm? baka kailangan mo munang tumigil sa mga hand-intensive activities. tulad ng pagtanggap ng labada.

mukhang cheap? hindi naman pamporma cam eh! anyways, kung gusto mo ng looks, 17-85 still looks cheap, kahit tammy 17-50 2.8 looks cheap.
Pero kahit cheap look ang tammy 17-50, the IQ you get is waaaaaaaay better than the kit lens.
-

-
I LOL'd.
Baka naman slower than 1/30 yung shutter speed at 50mm...
yup! thats the prob kapag hindi maganda ang light source, syempre mas mabagal ang SP
thou pwede pang tapatan ng high ISO kaso medyo wala na ang sharpness. minsan kasi may
pagkakataon na alanganin gumamit ng flash depende sa subject. pero kung palaging OK
ang source of light specially shooting outside, park, garden etc no need for IS/OS
-
Got my tammy, I dunno why malas ata ako sa tamron, I first copy I got , after 30mins of testing it , the thing just "died" lol, the aperture ring locked so the viewfinder was dark. Luckily, the seller had another copy so I replaced it.
So far its pretty much what the reviews say, "ok" at F2.8, "very good" at F4.0.
-
^sample pics naman papi japz! and konting reviews na din ^__^
-
heheh mga japeks shots ito eh, anyway my initial impression are pretty much what the reviews say, very good IQ, specially +F4 onwards. I would think this would be a very good indoor lens for wedding receptions etc.
Feels/looks/ tiny / cheap / but thats probably because of the other red rings i use.
Just make sure you get a good copy lol.
Post nalang ako pics later.
-
here are some samples.

O.T. pupunta kami ni Mrs. sa Singapore on Oct 29 to Nov 3 for a holiday. Maybe take some pix. Sino kaya aka-EB doon?

I *should* be there as well pero Nikonian ako :P

continuing O.T. I probably should open a thread in the lounge, and I will... about how to maximize this trip.
lots of questions.

thou you can still make it work by keeping your ISO @ 800 or more
-

I don't think ISO 800 will suffice for that. 5.6 na nga ang aperture at the tele end, gabi pa yung setting. I don't even think ISO 1600 with 2.8 is enough
NO! toooooo......slow at low light. specially at night.
thou you can still make it work by keeping your ISO @ 800 or more
-
madilim pa din ba even with floodlights lighting up the track?
-
if you had a 200mm f/2.0... you can get away with ISO400 - 800 @1/500s, but 300mm @ f/5.6 is doable if you can push the ISO up, and you're willing to accept noise.
what I do when I'm trying to get and idea of lighting conditions on some event, I search on flickr and look at the EXIF data.
for example, searching for "singapore f1 night" i came across this pic. (not mine)

300mm @ f/6.3 | 1/400 | ISO3200
-
thanks for the link. well I got a couple of nights to practice till the actual race. Hope I can get a good spot around the walkabout.
-
don't rely on the AF of the 55-250 if you're gonna be shooting F1. better pre-focus your shots in MF mode and just have your finger ready on the shutter.
-
bring a monopod or tripod too. gabi rin ba yung qualifiers?
-
From r8dhex's link, I read that you'll be shooting through a fence. That'll be frustrating with AF.
-
Qualifying would also be held at the same time as the race. I'll definitely bring a tripod with me.
-
well, kung may flood lamps pala on the track, I guess okay na yan. No one can ever know now. Kailangan makita actual lighting
-
dean is right, if there's a fence, you should pre focus on a spot on the track. Maybe switch to back-button focusing

^ Agree. That's why I said "if", I did mention that it's still doable if he accepts a little more noise. Can't get anything for free, but ISO is cheaper than that lens.

i *might* be going on the 26th race day.
if all goes well, we will cover the Rivermaya gig. free walkabout pass. :D

^ Agree. That's why I said "if", I did mention that it's still doable if he accepts a little more noise. Can't get anything for free, but ISO is cheaper than that lens.
Do you own a 200/2L IS? Lovely lens dude! More power to you!
-
^ No I don't, just hypothetical, can't afford it either. Just to illustrate that even with a f2 lens, it's gonna be hard, but still doable.
With a 200mm lens, if you intend to handhold it, you'd need at least 1/250 shutter speed to avoid shake. Then factor in the moving subjects, to get 1/500. Then, the crop factor means that you'd need to have 1/800s to have a decent chance of avoiding camera shake.
Us non-professionals just have to up the ISO about 3 more stops, just to approximate what the f/2 can do.
-
With the 200/2L IS? With IS turned ON you could go down to 1/40 or a few stops slower with it if you have a solid grip. Also the sensor size doesnt affect the shutter speed so 1/40 will be fine on a full frame or cropped frame sensor. If sensor size affect the shakiness of an image it would show up on full frame images that were cropped to 1.5x or 1.6x dimensions.
1/500 is ok but if you're good with panning you could go down to 1/30.

hmmm... $600 for a tammy.
As much as I love my tammy's image quality, unless they REALLY improve the build quality and up the already great image quality, I dont see the point of buying it for 30K. For that kind of money, well I wouldn't any, ipon pa.
Does it have some kind of USM? Badtrip yung focusing sound pag shooting on a quite place, like a church or a convention hall.
I always thought the 17-50 was great because of the price, I dont understand why they would double the price when lens stabilization is getting cheaper and cheaper. Look at nikon.
Practice with the breathing technique, thats free.
Plus, careful when buying a tammy, first copy i bought didn't last for two hours when the aperture ring died.
-
better yet, get the older one and a flash. thats about 30K.
problem solved.

yup! ito din ang naisip ko, kasi $370 yung lens (w/o VC) then $280 yung flash
so konting squeeze pa ng bulsa may flash ka na.
siguro ok na setting kung stagnant f2.8 + iso 200. fast enough na kaya kahit walang VC
-

whatever your iso or aperture, basta mabilis enough yung shutter speed (as in hindi magsa-shake yung hawak mo sa camera), hindi mo kelangan ng VC/IS/VR etc.
-
dipende din kasi sa light source, so far ngayun palagi ko pinaglalaruan yung 50mm f1.8 ko.
try diff aperture, iso, shutter speed. kung ok ang light source kahit f4-f5.6 kayang kaya.
-
heishi,
aperture does not directly affect shake control. as eric said, it depends on shutter speed. kahit wide open ang aperture mo at high iso ka, kita ang shake pag mabagal ang shutter mo.
-
@slide,
hindi po kasi ako nagfu-full manual, hehe most of my setting is aperture (AV) mode.
so bahala na yung cam kumuha ng sarili nyang setting pagdating sa shutter speed.
pag OK ang lightsource kahit yung kitlens ang gamit ok kahit di naka enable ang IS
-
hindi po kasi ako nagfu-full manual, hehe most of my setting is aperture mode.
Ako din naman A madalas gamit. And I can still adjust the shutter speed to something fast enough which doesn't require VC/VR/IS by tweaking the following:
exposure compensation
metering
ISO
light (flash)
IMHO mas sulit yung non-VC + flash combo.
-
ako kasi hindi ko na ginagalaw or ina-adjust pa yung shutter speed, so far
ok naman fast enough naman sya pag OK ang ligh source, much faster on higher ISO.
yup naisip ko nga kung non-VC nalang tapos 430EX II..
-
baka i-discontinue na ni tamron yung non-VC 17-50 f/2.8 so better get one na while it's available... otherwise, it'll be the expensive VC version na :(
-
hindi naman siguro, kasi ang laki ng price diff ng VC vs non-VC almost double.
pero kung aabot ng $700 yung canon version (VC), tiyak lagpak ako sa non-VC haha!
-
Obviously you want the VC version, so you can say your camera has VIBRATION control!
=P
-
^ hehe. actually hindi naman para masabi na may VIBRATION control.
as of now mukang need lang talaga ng shaky hands ko...
nga pala nagtanong ako nung sunday, tumaas ang price ng tamron 17-50 $377.00 na sya
dati $370 lang... baka bago magpasko eh pumatak pa ng $380-400! waaah!!!!!!

papi dean, mukang hindi malayu, tumaas nga ang price ng non-VC mukang inuubos
nalang nila ang stocks! dang! the VC version might reach $700 here..
-
bumili ka na ng non-VC before maubos =P

^ muka ngang no choice! haha! tumaas sya ng $7
yung VC version mukang aabot kasi ng $700 malayu na sa budget

Walang ganyan sa Pentax! (ginagaya ko lang yung ad ng Petron) - or "Sony"
Ultra shameless plug. Kasi ang aking 26 year-old lens benefits from in-camera stabilization.

- mga bossing, need your input.
yung pinsan ko sa states balak bumili ng Canon 500D. So tumingin sya sa best buy (Rebel T1i nga pala sa US ito). meron kit with standard 18-55 lens, tapos meron din bundled with Canon - 55-250mm f/4-5.6.
ang tanong nya, ok ba yung Canon - 55-250mm f/4-5.6? di ko din alam eh pabili pa lang din ako ng camera hehe
TIA :)
-
im using 55-250mm FTW na lens yan! got mine for $220.
for its price and glass quality wala kang talo! FTW talaga!
you can also see some online reviews

kaya pala ang mahal ng mga lens natin
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7_wL0ZZi6k
That's an awesome video, and a good explanation of why good lenses are so expensive.
I wonder if they use different glass for the high-end (i.e. "L" glass for Canon) lenses compared to the regular ones.
-
^ meron din dyan bro, tignan mo dun sa mga related video, may ibang glass components ang L series ^__^
-
nice shots master crisp! yan din nga ang advantage ng in-body image stabilisation... the old non-IS lenses still benefit ^__^
in other news... nabasa ko sa pipho na may bumili na daw ng VC version ng tamron 17-50 and it costs 26k. still not a bad price... that's around half of the canon 17-55 f/2.8 IS USM.

reply from : PixelproInc
Tamron 17-50mm 2.8 XR Di II VC canon/nikon
srp 12months ---29,999.00
cash--- 26,000.00
holy cow carabao!!!!!!!!!!!!! mura naman sana ganyan din ang price dito!
-
mura ang 26K? wooow. i'm in the wrong place.
ang mura kasi sa akin ay, hmmm, P2,500.
ok, mali. ang target kong lens ngayon (pagkatapos kong ibenta ang K100D at yung 19-35 na Tokina) ay ang DA16-45/4, USD250, of course, USED.
-
mura na nga po talaga 26k sya, sa online shops nasa $620 above sya..
visit ako sa sunday dun sa suki shop ko sa HCM sana may stock na
-
henryscamera :
17-50mm VC II - P26,500
grabe ang baba ng price! droool!!!!!
-
if the price stays like that, very good deal nga yan... imagine, doble yung price ng 17-55 f/2.8 IS USM ni canon hehehe...
-
they kill the 17-55 :(
-
di naman siguro... i'm sure there're still people who will prefer a canon/nikon over a tamron even if the tamron offers really good value for the price.
-
tamron 17-50mm f2.8 FTW! kahit non-VC ako, super sulit yang lens na yan sa akin.
my one and only lens. :D
pimp ko uli flickr page ko:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/ajayjorge/sets/
pag wide shots, 17-50mm yan. pag close up, 70-200 f2.8 (not mine).
dream combo yan. hehe
-
yung 17-50VC pag nagkaroon dito baka bumili ako agad IF around $600 at ok ang matest kong unit
pero yung 70-200 IS USM f2.8 hangang pangarap nalang yan kekeke
-
kayang kaya yang 70-200 IS USM f2.8 heishi.
para ka lang bumili ng isang bagong rig. :)
-
grabe ang price $1,700usd, kulang pa isang kidney ko dyan! wahahaha!
hindi naman pwede 2 kidney ang ibenta ko.. kaya wag nalang! LOLx!

investment naman yan. hehe

AJ?
Investment?
Invest a kidney?

I'd love to have one of those, or actually the 100-400 L f/4.5-5.6 IS, or even a bigma.

Got the Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 last week kay mang Ramon. Mas mababa nya nabigay compared kay Henrys. So far so good, kailangan lang mag adjust sa walang VC.
Available nadin kay henrys yung 17-50 2.8VC for canon, 26.5K ang price.

guys may friend akong nagpapatulong lang kung ano sulit bilhin sa dalawang canon lens?
he's using EOS Rebel XS yung 10MP
Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Ultra Wide Angle Zoom Lens $1,420.00 amazon price
or
Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM Standard Zoom Lens $1,274.95 amazon price
many thanks.
-
24-70 na hehe
-
i dunno, whenever i get to use the 5D, i'd always use either the 16-35/17-40 and 70-200/85/135... 24-70 usually stays in the bag.
in the cropped world, 17-55 or 85/135 naman :D
-
24-70 handsdown for me.
-
i guess it's because "a whole new world" talaga ang UWA sa FF. sa film camera ko, laging yung 17-40 rin ang nakakabit while the 24-105 stays on the crop body.
-
24-70 na hehe
24-70 handsdown for me.
got it many thanks. haayzz if only i got money to buy that lens :( camera pa lang target ko haha :D

Hindi sa minamaliit ko yung XS, pero medyo hindi balanced yung setup na yun with those lenses, magaan lang kasi yung XS, pero yung mga lens na yun malaki at mabigat.
16-35 - expensive, moderate wide-angle only (on a crop body), long end only goes to 50mm equiv.
24-70 - not very wide angle, much more useful zoom range, heavy and big
17-55 - lighter than above, less expensive, goes wide to short-tele, IS, no red ring
Suggest getting the 17-55 for the XS

agree, before they were (people from other forums) think that this lens did not have that "Red Ring" because it's not a full frame camera. but performance wise, it deserves a red ring.
at least that's what they say. :)
-
why not the tamron 17-50 2.8 also?

he's looking for L-series lens hehe and right now he considered selling his XS for T1i upgrade dahil gusto niya 720p video rec :D di muna siya mag venture ng high end DSLR body dahil kulang sa budget hehe.
-
it's true... bitin nga ang rebel body paired with an L but sometimes you have to make do with what you have. just because it feels bitin on the hand doesn't mean the camera + lens combo is already a bad idea. what matters more is the photo and not whether it feels good on the hand or is balanced in weight.
hmm... pero diba bitin rin ang video capability ng T1i?
why does he want an L? if it's IQ, the 17-55 definitely holds its own against the other L's it's just that it doesn't have weather sealing and the red ring. range-wise, the 17-55 is really ideal for crop bodies.
-
i don't know why he likes the "luxurious" lens hehe siguro influenced ng ads/friends/photo mags and online reviews. he only wants a little of video recording on DSLR as added bonus to his hobbies daw. hmm if I were him I would rather buy the 17-55 and stay with XS and have some spare money to spend on other things para sulit. tama kayo re L-lens on XS dahil super heavy ang mga yun at ang gaan2x ng XS parang di bagay hehe.
-
san merong tammy 17-55 canon mount? might look to replace my kit lens as the auto-focus no longer works.

if the IQ is as good as the first version and it's priced just like their 24-70 F2.8 EX, i'd definitely sell my 17-70 and upgrade to this version.

Canon 17-55 2.8 or Nikon 17-55 2.8

^ either that or a tamron 17-50 F2.8 , if you can stomach the price of the VC version, go for that. Otherwise the non-vc will do fine
Or if you want more versatility, ie. longer range and decent macro , go for a sigma 17-70 f2.8-4.0 OS HSM.

i have inherited my brother's d50 but he sold off all the lenses already. what would be a good all around lens? kit lens of the d80 maybe?
-
go for the 18-200mm.
wide to zoom.
or if family/close up shots, tamron 17-50 f2.8. very good for low light situation.
kapos nga lang sa zoom power.
-
+1 on the 17-50mm. a decent flash should be next, should you be shooting family most of the time. rent/borrow a fast, long lens (70-200 f/2.8) for school events.
-
The 18-105 VR is also nice but not as fast as the 17-50 2.8
-
http://consumer.vetspecialistsinc.com/
Thanks.
Ramdam ba ang difference ng non-VC sa VC version? If the price is significantly higher on a VC and the difference is negligible then I'd go for a non-VC.
-

I upgraded to a 18-200VR more than a year ago. Not that I regret doing so, but looking back now, I may had been equally happy with the 18-105VR at almost 1/3 the price.

We have an 18-200VR at home and it's heavy. I don't think I want that unless I get it for free haha.

that's not wide angle.
-
try to consider tamron 17-50 f2.8 as well. yan ang aking one and only lens. :)
-
+1 on the tamron.
-
that's not wide angle.
that's wideangle for crop sensors because it gives the equivalent 29.2mm (on the wide end) FOV in FF cameras.
if you're thinking ultrawide angle, there's the 10-22 which gives an equivalent 16-35mm FOV in FF cameras.
but if you want something wider without going ultrawide, consider the EF-S 15-85mm of canon.
also, sigma doesn't have a 17-70 f/2.8. what they have are the following: 17-70 f/2.8-4 OS and 17-50 f/2.8 OS (replacing the old 18-50 f/2.8).

i sit corrected :D
UWA pala yung iniisip ko when i replied earlier.

salamat sa tip :) oo nga walang fixed 2.8 yung sigma hehe tamron pala iniisip ko :)
so i might pulling the trigger on that tammy 17-50 f/2.8 kasi nasa range siya sa budget ko :)
-
@newcastle_29,
meron fixed f/2.8 yung sigma: the 17-50 f/2.8 OS and the 70-200 f/2.8 OS :)

-
can anyone recommend a shop or person where i can have my lens cleaned?
-
Nakakatawa yung ibang comments dun sa Nikon Lens sale FB page.
@Al you should have Columbia Digital clean it since they're the local Nikon Service Center. Ewan ko lang kung magkano, tsaka sa QC siya.
-
Yeah... that's the idea. Baka sakali lang na may mas malapit sa akin. Hehehe. Will probably go there next week if there are no alternatives.
Buti na lang hindi pa urgent. Them moldy spots still don't show on my photos, thankfully.
-
ok ba ang tamron guys?
-
tamron gamit ko sa film dati. ngayon din, 28-75 f/2.8. Magandang lens siya.
your zoom is too long, really and has too many compromises. get a 17-50 and use that first. epic lens. kung bitin pa, get a 50-150 f/2.8 or a 70-200 f/2.8.
try to save up for good lenses so you only have to buy them once.
-
@slide
thanks sir slide sa feedback. yup, medyo di nga sharp ang images ng 28-300mm na tamron sa long range.
is there a tamron equivalent ng nikkor 18-200mm vr pero mas mura ang price with decent image quality?
...or get the nikkor 18-200mm then tapos.
-
yung 18-270, i guess. nakagamit na rin ako nung mas luma na 18-200 ng Tamron. both are pretty slow, especially on the telephoto end. avoid both, if possible.
i own a Nikkor 18-200. i wouldn't say it's bad, but even i think that it's a bit overrated. i honestly think it's better to get a Nikkor 18-105 if price is an issue, and then a 55-300 or 70-300 later on. or follow slide's suggestion and get a Tamron 17-50 first instead.
-
try to consider tamron 17-50 f2.8 as well. yan ang aking one and only lens. :)
self-quoting. hehe.
tammy 17-50 f2.8 user since 2008. di na umalis sa 400D ko.

yung camera ko ay canon eos 1000D or Rebel XS tapos kit lens lang gamit ko. kung mag upgrade ako to tammy 17-50 malaki ba talaga ang improvement ng IQ from kit lens? yung esmi ko kasi gusto nang makasiguro muna bago kami bibili ng tamron 17-50 f/2.8. thanks.

IQ-wise, it's the same unless you're really anal about it. The biggest difference is the aperture size: the Tamron is much faster and makes it a great upgrade.
-
you'll see a difference in color rendition, contrast, flare control, and a bit on the sharpness side too even with web-sized samples. the expensive lenses aren't just about larger apertures.

Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 vs Canon 18-55 kit
http://web.comhem.se/contentz/canon/tamron1750/tamronvscanon/tamron1750vscanon1855.htm
-
i've used one for a very short period only and i wasn't able to do comparison shots side-by-side the kit lens. IQ-wise, it was good and i can imagine it being better than the kit lens even at comparable apertures. maybe our resident tamron 17-50 owners/users can also chip in.
-
hmm, figures. i say again: the IQ difference is much less than the difference in speed unless you really get anal about it. Buy the Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 because it's cheap and fast. if you want epic IQ, get an L.
-
i concur with the above statements.
the tamron beats the kit lens in all categories. noticeable difference especially in sharpness and fastness.
my personal issues:
1. minsan bitin sa zoom. :)
2. maingay mag-focus. not that loud pero pag katabi mo ay mga naka-L lenses, rinig na rinig ka.
3. reverse yung focusing rotation nya. counterclockwise instead of clockwise like a normal canon lens.
other than that, I'm very much happy with my tammy.
-
thanks for the input guys, napansin ko din yung 1000D with kit lens ko medyo di maganda ang AF kahit yung mga AF points naka set sa subject. minsan ma-out of focus siya kaya ginawa ko palagi is mag manual-focus at either AV/AV-DEP/TV or Manual modes, it would take a little bit more time, so if lalagyan ko ng tamron 17-50 f/2.8 makakatulong din ba yon sa AF issues? or sa issue talaga ng 1000D sensor yung problema?
-
i honestly think it's better to get a Nikkor 18-105 if price is an issue, and then a 55-300 or 70-300 later on.
pwede. nice upgrade path.
kung nag D90 ka ang kitlens na nakasama yung 18-105 VR na. sana 70-300 VR nalang pag iipunan mo.
kita mo hindi ka naman nakatipid kung bibili ka pa ng 18-105 VR sana nag D90 ka nalang.

ano ang scenario pag blurred ang pag-focus mo? kung dark/dimly lit ang surrounding, hirap talaga mag-auto focus.
either way, 1/50secs ata ang kelangan ng kit lens para stable ang shot mo.

blurred images occured during shooting indoors with sufficient light or dimly lit surrounding w/o flash kahit yung subject di gumagalaw tsaka kahit naka servo yung AF type niya mali pa rin yung pinofocus minsan.

Pwede pa rin mag-blur pag dim light kahit hindi gumagalaw yung subject. Yung 1/50th na sabi ni AJ is the minimum shutter speed to counteract camera shake. IS helps, but shutter speed is better.
You don't need AF servo for dim-light portraits. Use one shot AF, center-point focus. One-shot because it only needs to focus once, stop, then shoot. Center because the center AF point is usually the most sensitive.
AF servo is used for moving targets usually, it means that the lens will keep focusing continuously on the subject while the shutter is pressed. Technically, it won't even focus on the subject, but on the subject's calculated future position at the time of the shutter release. This works well for sports or similar subjects where the subject is moving towards or away from the camera at a constant speed. Sports shooters tend to shoot in bursts because the first few frames are off sometimes, because the prediction does not yet have enough data. The additional computation also adds a bit of lag, although mostly it's negligible.
-
^nice
thanks for the tip
-
i decided to keep my camera for 1 more year dahil marami pa akong kelangan i explore sa 1000D tsaka yung budget very tight na kaya yung lens upgrade options ko nagbago. gusto ko din mag shoot ng far subjects tapos pang all-around din. Medyo limitado talaga yung budget dahil sa ibang gastusin so ito yung lens na gusto kong bilhin. help me choose which is better between the 2 :)
or kung meron kayong i suggest na lens basta around USD250-USD300 lang budget range ko

Mahirap gumamit ng mahabang zoom tapos walang OS or VC.

tapos 6.3 pa sa telephoto end, iso bump dyan
-
for your 1000D, just keep the kit lens and get a flash instead. even if you just use it mounted on your camera's hot shoe, you'll see how much a flash can help you with your photos.

@newcastle
50mm f/1.8 is win
+1 on barurutor. save up for a flash with and adjustable head, like the 430exII. i would also advise against off-brand flashes, the Canon flashes are totally worth their price. They recycle faster, have much more consistent lighting and have way better build quality. Wag kang matukso sa presyo nung ibang flash.
-
i suppose you could go off-brand on your secondary flashes but don't skimp on your main flash.

on 50mm f/1.8... that's what you call nifty fifty.
too bad i sold mine to my in-law. totally worth the buy! you can buy a reverse ring adapter and mount it on reverse to have a poor man's macro lens.
on flash, i have a 430exII as well. servicing me well. :D

i suppose you could go off-brand on your secondary flashes but don't skimp on your main flash.
hehe... i'm guilty of not following this advice. i couldn't get myself to spending more for something i very rarely use. this was more than two years ago, though. for now, while my Nissin Di622 has its quirks (a few reliability issues), at least i am now slightly better in using flash guns. more importantly, i didn't destroy my D80 in the process. lol... i also know now that, in my case, spending for something like an SB600 will probably not be a waste of money in the near future.

ok so naawa yung esmi ko sakin dahil sa kakaisip ko kung anong lens ang dapat bilhin hehe nag decide siya na tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 na lang daw. yung flash mga later this year na lang daw yun or kasama pag upgrade ng body next year woot!!! hehe "sigh" makatulog na talaga ako ng maayos nito lol.

so ok lang ba na walang VC? kasi ang mahal masyado yung may VC model. siguro naman ok na ito. babawi na lang ako sa shutter speed while adjusting focal lenght :) thanks.
-
congrats! sulitin yang lens na yan!
-
Congrats sa lens.
-
ayos na yan. IS/VR/VC/OS is not critical for that range - ask AJ.

thanks guys. i'll be ordering one from amazon in a few days :)

this has been running in my head for quite some time so i might as well just type it down
current 2-lens combo on my APS-C canon system
17-40 f/4L = 27.2-64mm FOV, 2nd hand usually goes for 27~30k
70-200 f/4L = 112-320mm FOV, 2nd hand usually goes for 24~26k
total 51~56k
planned/target 2-lens combo on the same APS-C canon system
17-55 f/2.8 IS = 27.2-88mm FOV, priced at 42,000 @ dbgadgets
100 f/2 = 160mm FOV, priced at 18,700
total of 60,700
reasons? larger apertures not for low-light but for better subject isolation (especially the 100 f/2). the total cost of those two lenses are pretty close to the total value of the current 2-lens setup when sold and since i'm pretty cash-strapped right now, buying more expensive lenses isn't really an option i'm considering. IQ-wise, the 17-55 and 100 f/2 aren't L lenses but it's not like the 17-40 f/4 and the 70-200 are the best L's out there. canon's 17-55 is like an L when it comes to optics and the 100 f/2 is one of the most under-appreciated lenses in canon's lineup.
downsides
well, bye bye L's (lol) no more red rings :P. lesser build quality, less versatility (for the 100 f/2) and less telephoto range. oh, the non-L's don't have lens hoods included when purchased so that's an additional cost.
but yun... just sharing hahahaha i do like my current setup but this has just been running in my head for a while.
of course, the even further away plan is to move to full frame and probably stick with the 24-70 f/2.8 and 135 f/2 combo :) the 17-55 + 100 (or the 85 f/1.8) are pretty close to that in the world of crop.
-
thumbs up to your planned/target lenses!
imo, I'd put more weight in larger apertures rather than the red rings at f4. 17-55 f2.8 is da bam. if i had enough money when i bought my tammy, i would have bought that canon lens instead. this is the major major upgrade for the kit lens.
on 100mm f/2, is this the macro lens? if yes, then go! go! go!
nakagamit din ako nito. hanep sa talas at sarap ipang-macro.

fafa aj,
the 100mm f/2 is not a macro lens :) i have a set of AF extension tubes for my macro needs which i use with different lenses. here's a thread over at POTN for sample photos of the 100 f/2
http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=226590
so far, the f/4's haven't disappointed me. i really love the color and contrast on them. so... just sharing some lens thoughts hhehehehe. i'll make use of what i have for now and just keep saving and see if an upgrade is really needed or not in the future :)

Nabigla ako nung nagpa-quote ako sa Columbia Digital kung magkano palinis ng lens. They were asking for P3,500 with a one week waiting time. Buti na lang nag email muna ako bago ako sumugod dun. Ang layo pa naman sa akin. I wouldn't be surprised if people would rather buy a new 18-55mm or 50mm/1.8 than have them serviced.
So, naglakas ako ng loob at tumawag ako kay Mang Ady. Lots of glowing feedback regarding his work dun sa PiPho, pero siyempre, malay ko ba. Hehehe. So pinuntahan ko siya sa Trinoma last Wednesday and got my lens back earlier today tapos 1,200 lang singil niya. Best of all, my lens seems like it's as good as new. At the very least, everything seems in working order and the glasses are clean.
Dirty lens problem solved!
-
+1 kay Ady, nagtaas na pala cleaning niya? nung huli ako magpalinis ng 70-200 F/4L IS ay 800 lang hehe.
@Dean, I've used the 17-55 2.8 IS and it's on my camera 90% of the time! IQ is on the same leage as L's minus the build quality. The older versions *I think* had a nasty habit of IS breaking down after 1-2 years of use. The newer ones seems to have corrected this issue. IS replacement costs around 6.5k @ Canon assuming it's no longer under warranty.
-
palagay ko depende kung ganung kadumi din. sabi niya, medyo may kadumihan daw talaga yung loob ng lens ko. hehehe.
-
just out of luck here, or maybe a blessing in disguise.
my wifey decides to cancel my tammy 17-50 order and went to a super cheap one canon 75-300mm III (no IS / no USM ) grrr. she said she has too many expenses this year. sabi niya don't worry may next year pa naman eh hehe. i prefer zoom over the nifty fifty so i decide to buy this lens. mag experiment muna ako nito hehehe.
-
no IS grabe pagdurusa sa long range :))
hi-ISO + tripod

@jason,
just wondering... how's the dust issue on the 17-55? i keep hearing that it's bad but a lot of people also downplay that and say that as long as they use a filter, it isn't really an issue. i know it's rare that dust affects IQ but i guess i'm just paranoid or OC about it. any comments?
-
@newcastle, don't expect much from the 75-300 hehe. hopefully, maganda nga yung kapalit nyan na next purchase :)
-

So she decides to not get you what you wanted and get you something you didn't want instead? How nice.
So I guess you could be justified in getting a Canon 17-55 2.8 IS next year?
-

yeah i know i've read some of it's reviews and photo samples but i'ts been a challenge for me how to make the best out of it :) next year will be a blast ... hopefully mas marami na akong experience sa photography by that time.

she said better to have one than nothing at all ( USD150.00 @ amazon) so binili ko na lang hehe. challenge din ito siguro to be a better photog haha. Siguro 60D+17-55 IS 2.8 next year hopefully :)
-
good luck with that. at the very least you could trade it for a 50mm 1.8

idagdag ko na lang si nifty fifty next month pag magka pera ako hehe
-
50mm 1.8 nalang sana...
nung nasa Canon side pako mas gamit ko yung 50mm kesa sa 55-250mm
ngayun Nikon na gamit ko plan ko pa din na bumili ng 50mm 1.8
and why not 55-250 IS nalang kesa 75-300?
konti lang price diff nila

last time na check ko sa amazon.com it was USD249.99+shipping yung 55-250mm. sayang nga eh di ma-stretch ang budget. yung si nifty fifty may nagbebenta sa kin ng USD80.00 pero next month pa daw niya ibenta sa kin so good deal na din yun antayin ko na lang.
-
noob question.
anong advantage pag fixed na lens?

huwat?! $220 sya dito bat mas mahal pa sa amazon? B&H $199.95 sya
@zer0 , hindi ka palit-palit ng lens para di mapasok ng dumi yung luob ng cam at magkaron ng sensor dust
na sobrang nakamamatay ang feeling pag lilinisin! imagine touching your cam's sensorzzzz!!!! :))
-
@heishi
what i mean is may advantage ba ex. ang 50mm vs 50-200mm na lens @50mm in terms of image quality?
yup natry ko na maglinis ng sensor... 7 attempts bago natanggal lol.

@jason,
just wondering... how's the dust issue on the 17-55? i keep hearing that it's bad but a lot of people also downplay that and say that as long as they use a filter, it isn't really an issue. i know it's rare that dust affects IQ but i guess i'm just paranoid or OC about it. any comments?
My experience with the 17-55.
1. It's not true that if put a filter on it all the time, it will lessen/prevent dust. Dust comes in from the vacuum when zooming in/out the lens barrel. Whoever said that a filter can weather seal the lens should jump off a plane and use an umbrella as a parachute.
2. It's true that the dust doesn't affect image quality at all but it's also annoying to see a few specks of dust inside.
3. It's not true that the dust problem is THAT BAD. I used my 17-55 for about 2 years and I had 3-4 small specks of dust every year, not even at the center. You'll have your lens cleaned and calibrated at least once a year anyway so it shouldn't build up in the first place. I've used it heavily in light rain and usual dusty areas. I think the dust specks comes from your shirt lints.
hope this sheds some light to you :)
-
If saving money is the order of the day I'd just cancel the 75-300 altogether and stick with the kit lens.
-
@heishi
uu nga nakita ko pala sa B&H USD199.00 pala yung 55-250 tsk tsk tsk sayang pwede na sana yun
@splerdu
hehe i can always return the product if not satisfied.
-
repost...
may advantage ba ex. ang 50mm vs 50-200mm na lens @50mm in terms of image quality?
-
^wider apertures I guess. at least from what I understand
-
the prime 50mm will undoubtedly focus faster and have higher IQ. and there's the depth of field allowed by the wider opening.
-
thanks for the replies :)
-
50mm better in low light+creamier bokeh wide open+ good IQ , 50-200mm medyo gapang sa low light, but ok if outside + gives you extra reach... i miss my 55-250mm canon :(
-
maganda lang ang F1.8 kung low light at mas mabilis.
pero di naman tama na mag compare ka ng magkaiba ang F.
dati na try ko i compare yung 50mm at 55-250mm , 50 vs 55 F8 and F11 totoo lang
wala ako makitang pagkakaiba.. dipende nalan siguro kung parehong
good copy ang glass na kinukumpara mo ^__^
-
generally a prime (fixed focal length lens) would have the ff benefits:
lighter
faster (smaller ƒ number/bigger aperture opening)
because it has less glass elements. but since these are fixed focal length, you'd have to:
change lenses often
bring many lenses just to cover a range of focal length
when comparing cheap zooms (entry levels/kit lenses) and prime lenses, prime lenses also has the advantage of better image quality (chromatic abberation, color, contrast, resolution) because of the same reason LESS elements as compared to zooms (4-9 elements vs 20-40 elements), and of course it transmits more light (ƒ/1.8 vs ƒ/4.0-5.6)
the more expensive zooms however (Canon Ls and Nikon Ns) have comparable image quality compared to primes, because these lenses use higher grade glass and has higher precision manufacturing, and aperture openings of this
usually the advantage of zoom lenses are:
one lenses covers multiple focal lengths
no need to change lenses for different focal lens
higher end zooms also have bigger aperture openings, but not as wide as the primes.
on a slightly different topic.
different lenses has different sweet spot. but generally wide (below 50mm on 135 film/fullframe) lenses' sweet spot is 3-5 ƒ-stops from it's biggest opening, normal lenses (50mm on 135 film/fullframe), 2-4 ƒ-stops, while tele lenses (above 50mm on 135 film/fullframe) have their sweet spot at 1-3 ƒ-stops.
example:
a 50mm 1.8's usual sweet spot is at ƒ/4.0 or ƒ/5.6
while a 70-200 ƒ/2.8 can be sharp at also ƒ/4.0 or ƒ/5.6
but a 70-300 ƒ/4-5.6, you'd need to stop down to around ƒ/8.0 at 70mm or even ƒ/11.0 at 300mm.
...
anudaw? hahahahah! sorry sabaw moments..
-
L lenses are usually very sharp and excellent at max aperture and only improve slightly when stopping down one stop. the nikkor counterparts are the same i guess.
-
Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G VR IF-ED $540
Nikon 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6 VR DX $410
both f/4.5-5.6... both slow.. hmm..
-

that's true! ^_^
@Heishiro
ayaw mo yung 55-200 VR? di naman ganun kalaki difference ng 200mm and 300mm eh.
mas mahal yung 70-300 kasi unang una FX lens vs the DX lens. tapos M/A-M type focusing pa, it's not a big deal for some, but for me it's useful. :)
-
nope i will never buy the 55-200, we never know when and where the 100mm difference might be useful.
mahirap na pumasok sa sitwasyon na "pwede na" i already learned my lesson :)) i might get the 70-300 vr pag may pondo na
-

Quoting for great justice.
there's a reason why the fast 24-70 and 70-200 lenses are used by pros: they work.
if you can't afford good lenses, save up for it. If you can't get great photos from the kit lens, buying better lenses won't make you more able. if the focal length is too short, walk closer or buy pricier event tickets.
-

+1 sa M/A-M switch, another reason I chose 70-300 over 55-300.

mga guys,
any other differences between canon 18-135mm vs 18-200mm aside of course the focal point?
-
the 18-135 goes all the way to f/38 on the long side, 5oz lighter, and newer and probably less expensive.

maganda ng lens yang 18-135 ,IS can go up to 4 stops, for me ok din yung range nya sulit para
gamiting walk around lens. then later you can buy a new teleboso lens 70-300 IS USM.
but for me kung canon pa din ako ang gusto kong lens setup is :
Canon EF-S 15-85mm IS USM + 70-300 IS USM + 50mm 1.4
im also thinking to buy the Nikon 70-300 VR but im also considering the Tamron AF 18-270mm Di II VC
since the nikon 70-300mm is f/4.5-5.6 mukang mahihirapan sa low light.. yung tamron magagamit na din
as backup lens kasi 18mm(wider compared to 70mm) to 270mm naman sya.

for Canon, I prefer 10-22, 24-70L then 70-200L.
-
re: canon lens.
I suggest you get what you REALLY want.. yung range na gusto niyo. Believe me, you'll end up with L lenses din... L=LUST! :P
anyways, I think I have my dream lens setup na...
50 1.4 for everyday
24-105 F/4L for travel
70-200 2.8L for events/sports/sometimes travel
135 F/2L for baby portraits!
least used ang 24-105 at 135 f/2l saakin kasi I seldom travel and shoot serious baby portraits.
I'm selling my 135 btw.
-
jason,
sample baby pics using 135 mo? how much are you letting go?
-
for Canon, I prefer 10-22, 24-70L then 70-200L.
only prob is the price of those L....
-
Travel lens of mine is the 17-40 f/4L... lightweight, sturdy, weather sealed, and great quality output. (Cheap too)

thanks heishi. so 18-135 is a way to go then 10-20 kaso ang mahal. merong sigma at tamron counterpart 10-24mm ata at cheaper price. any thoughts on it? gusto ko yung 18-135 at 10-20 combo thanks.
-
for me ok lang ang mga 3rd party lens, as long as walang issue at maganda ang IQ then why not (and cheaper).
as of now im not interested on buying UWA lenses.. di ko din alam san ko yun gagamitin! :))
im more interested on Macro photography..
right now i also like the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM!!! i want! i want!!!

@athlonfan
how much are you selling your 135mm ƒ/2L?
hmmmmm...
lens selection :D:D:D
i'm quite happy with the following lenses:
Canon
24mm ƒ/1.4L (i super love this lens, compared to the 28mm ƒ/1.8 which is soft)
50mm ƒ/1.4 (tried the L version, but I can't get why i should spend soo much more with not much improvement, the 1.4 is pretty solid, the 1.8 is good for it's price, but the 1.4 is waaaay better)
85mm ƒ/1.8 (i have yet to try the 1.4 one of these days, i can't find a rental that has this lens)
100 2.8 macro (the L macro but the non-L is good enough)
and of course
the 135mm ƒ/2 L (you have to try it to understand why)
but then I worked with a cinematographer who owns a couple of M-Mount lenses. I immediately fell in love with the M-mount lenses, Leica brand to be exact. :) Canon Ls are clean but these Leica has this different feel just like the zeiss primes
wish I could borrow some Nikon primes. :D
i'm not a fan of zoom lenses anymore (or eversince actually)
but i still love my (brother's) Nikon 80-200 ƒ/2.8. :Dmga guys,

i've tried the Sigma 10-20, not so happy with not that sharp, tokina 11-16 2.8 as well. for ultra wides, i'd still go for Canon 10-22 or Nikon 12-24, or the cheaper Tokina 12-24. i have yet to try Nikon's 10-24. :D for full frame users: 14mm samyang, or Nikon 14-24 :D:D:D loveleh. :D

Nikon 14-24 2.8G Review [16-9.net] (http://www.16-9.net/lens_tests/nikon_14_24mm_1/nikon14_24mm_a.html)
At 14mm, the Nikon 14-24mm gives us a whole new level of performance: it's not so much that it rewrites the rules, it doesn't seem to be aware of what the rules are . . . sharp, vignette-free corners at 14mm / f2.8? No problem! With performance this good at f5.6, I think we've just found a lens that may challenge the Leica 15mm f2.8 for the title of ultimate ultrawide. Without question, this lens is at least as good as the Zeiss 15mm f3.5.
So what we appear to have, at first glance, is a Zeiss 15mm + Canon 24 L in one lens for a bargain $1800. In overlapping focal lengths, it's better than the Nikon 17-35mm, Canon 17-40mm, 16-35mm II, and even, I suspect, the Contax N 17-35mm f2.8 zooms. More than that, it looks like it might better than every prime in that range: you can forget the Tamron 14mm, Sigma 14mm, Canon 14mm Mark I, Zeiss, Nikon and Leica 15mm f3.5, Tokina 17mm, Olympus 18mm, Zeiss 18mm, Nikon 20mm and Olympus 21mm variants.
But is it better than the Leica 19mm? Easy – yes: superb colouring v superb colouring, but the Nikon has better corners.
Is there a better 24mm lens? Maybe – but not by much. The 24L is pretty special, and two stops faster, so it's unlikely to be dethroned in the near future. But the Nikon zoom is as good as anything else you can use at this focal length.
Is is better than the Leica 15mm f2.8? Ah – good question! Can I get back to you on that when my 1Ds III arrives? It may be the only tool capable of giving us an answer.
Is it better than the Zeiss 21mm? Oooh, now you're asking . . . perhaps not. But we'd have to define 'better' better: is it as high resolution? Perhaps not – though given the fact that the Nikon comes very close to outresolving the 5D in the corners makes this something of a moot point. Colour? Zeiss – just: but the Nikon glass draws very similarly. Distortion? At 21mm, no contest: the Nikon is much better. Flare and ghosting? Nikon (just) again . . . .
Is it perhaps the most impressive wide angle lens ever by a huge margin? Yes, and yes again. Run – really, run to your local dealer and buy one as fast as you can. Then sell all those other lenses it replaces and treat yourself to a case of Chateau d'Yquem with the proceeds.

kaso ang mahal... :(

ano advantage ng primes?
-
usually they have larger apertures and are generally sharper than their zoom counterparts at the same focal lengths (though some zooms now are also at level with primes in the sharpness department). and primes are generally smaller.

love my 50mm f/1.8 :)
grats on your new lens@heishi
-
^ haha NO! NO! wala pa akong bagong lens.. tipid mode muna ako, im planning to buy the 1.4
the price of the new f1.8 is double the price of the old f1.8.. and still f1.8!!! is that an upgrade? hehe
-
some people like the fact that it is AFS (mostly dxx00/d60/d40 users), hence the need of an AF-S 1.8.
got the 50mm 1.4D recently, and i'm really happy with it. tried the 85 1.8 before, i think i'm going for the 50mm 1.4 or the 105mm f/2 DC.
my next lens will be a 24mm 2.8 (no budget for the 1.4 version, but it is lovely)

hi guys, anyone here tried a sigma or tamron 18-200 lens? thinking of replacing my 18-55mm kit with something with more zoom power.
used it for a series of shoot before (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMl7r1fJCcM) mostly for interviews. it's good enough, it's really slow/dark though, focusing is also slow (more or less the same as the 18-55 kit). not as sharp as the kit, but if you want more zoom power this is the lens to use.
this lens needs a lot of light, useful for outdoors. not so much indoors. unless you're comfortable shooting at iso speeds more than 1600. the one on the link usually is 1/50, f/5.6 ISO400-800.
-
thanks dom. if compared to the kit canon 18-135 is the performance more or less the same? i just want an all around walk about-casual shooter type lens. the 18-55 kit lens has limited zoom power, and kinda regretting i didnt get the 18-135 kit lens in the first place. i have a canon 550d btw.
btw was it a tamron or a sigma 18-200 that you used?

that was a tamron 18-200 f/3.5-6.3, it's heavier that the 18-135 but the tamron has VC (IS) which will help from time to time. we used two versions one with 67mm thread and another 72mm thread i think. i'm not sure how different the two models from one another, i haven't fully used it for stills.
for walk around the tamron or the canon 18-135 will be a good buy. :) you'd barely go 150-200mm anyway, unless sa beach or an outdoor sports event.
-
would VC (or lack thereof) be a big concern? kim has a non VC 18-200 Tamron for less than 10k. the vc equipped Sigma is about 6k more.
-
I've used a non-VC Tamron 18-200. I have no intention of using one again.

hi guys, need your help.
my Canon 18-55mm kit lens died on me. kept getting err 99. so I'm looking to replace it.
my 2 choices are the Tamron SP AF 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di II, or the Tamron AF 18-200mm f3.5/6.3 XR Di II. I would like the 18-200mm for the extra zoom, but I am seriously thinking about the 17-50mm since it's faster.
I rarely use the zoom but it's a nice to have.
also, how do you compare the quality between the two. thanks!
-
I would go for the 17-50 2.8 since its fast and sharp. You just have to check for a good copy. The Tammy 18-200 doesn't have VC so you'll probably have a hard time getting sharp image on the long end especially at 6.3.

tammy 17-50 user here since 2009. nice nice lens.
some minor complain: a little noisy when focussing (the whirrrring sound), finds hard to auto focus on dimly lit situation.
other than that, sobrang nasulet ko na itong lens na to.

Go prime Canon 35mm F2.0 :D

Go prime Canon 35mm F2.0 :D
Malayo na yung sagot. Yung dalawa lang ang tinatanong ko.
-
^ lol.
Go 17-50 F2.8, although mines rubber grip disintegrated just last week after heavy use, IQ is still very good even after a couple of years and the things AJ mentioned like focusing. I also noticed tamrons are really prone to fungus, mine has and another buddy of mine even when we regularly use it.
I'm serious about the prime though, @ 16K its a real bargain, someone here is already saving up for the L version :D
-
actually, instead of buying a new lens, I'm just gonna sell the body. I have decided to go SLR-less for next year.
any takers?
-
going P&S bro?
-
dunno. gonna wing it from there.
iPhone maybe?
-
Recommendations on where can I get my lenses (Canon if it makes any diff) cleaned of fungus? I live in Pasig, but work in Alabang, so I'd rather bring it somewhere near one of those places?
There's also a Canon service center along shaw, that's pretty close to where I live, anyone know how much they charge? Worried that it may cost a lot, so I'm wondering if third-party would be cheaper, what's the typical price for lens fungus clean?
-
Last time I checked it was 1.4K
AFAIK canon along shaw is already closed (contract expired daw, when I went to canon last month) so your gonna have to go the magallanes main branch.
How bad is it? has IQ been affected? Might take more than a week to have it cleaned. I suggest you give it some sun treatment to stop the infection.
Meron ding "mang adi" sa pipho which I've read many positive feedback as well. But I'd go with canon.
-
Canon Shaw closed!!? Dang.
It's not so bad yet, IQ hasn't been affected, but I'd rather deal with it early. I already put it under the sun for awhile, I don't know if it worked.
I read about Mang Adi, but after texting, he said doesn't do meetups in Megamall anymore, Trinoma's too far away.
Is the 1.4K at Canon service? If so, that's not too bad, I might try Magallanes.
-
going P&S bro?
ako going G12 + 270EX or P7100 + SB-400.
im going to swap my D90 + SB700 then kuha ako ng Canon PowerShot S100
sawa nako sa super heavy at bulky na dslr
-
LOL. Heishi pareho tayo. I still have my DSLR but I now use Panasonic's ZS7 more often primarily because it's more convenient. Unfortunately, my "GF" also finds it convenient so I often have to resort to lugging the DSLR when she's using it. :D
-
@eadejesus,
sinulit ko lang si D90 sa kasal ng kapatid ko last Dec, kahit GF ko sumuko sa bigat ng D90 + Sb700 nung kasal sa simbahan.
pagdating sa reception ayaw na nya mag take ng pictures! :D sakit na daw ng braso nya LOL
possible G12 + 270EX ang kunin ko then dagdag ng konti para sa S100
-
ako iPhone na haha! kelangan ma-dispose ko na yung 350D.

I work and live in LB, Laguna. But I was able to find the time to go meet up with Mang Ady at Trinoma to have my 18-200 cleaned up (I might have to go to him again). That 1.4k would be his typical charge, IIRC. Asa pa na ganyang kamura sa Canon, haha. Another thing... I'd bet that Mang Ady would get the job done faster.
I'm guessing na hindi magkakalayo ang singil ng Canon tsaka CDSC (for Nikon). If I'm right, I wouldn't bother if you're talking about a kit lens.
-
The 1.4K is for Canon.
Its actually Php 950 and they charge another P500 for service thingie whatever. Call 884 9000
Pero yeah Mang Ady would probably finish it much faster, canon says its 7 to 14 Working days, of course they told me that as well when I had my cambody fixed, which actually took over a month. But hey they did a very good job.
I'll probably try out Mang Ady for my tammy (lol) but I will stick with canon lalo na pag mahal yun lens :)
-
I will also have to backpedal on the 1.4k being a typical Mang Ady asking price. I'm trying to recall, and I vaguely remember something like 800 or something a bit above 1k. So it might be best not to quote me. But I'll know how much again soon enough.

guys ano bang magandang lens pang portrait? yung prime lens ?
85mm/f1.2L or 135mm f/2L? or buget Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM or anyone suggests? thanks
-
^ di ba meron ka telephoto na lens?
try mo muna doon kung saan focal length ka magiging comfortable mag frame/compose. headshot or half-body ba?
-
^ di ba meron ka telephoto na lens?

yup yung 55-250mm. gusto ko yung half-body shot palagi then yung headshot minsan lang.
-
+ 1 on choosing the right focal length first.
If your talking about pure IQ, for sure the 85mm L / 135mm are both epic portrait lenses but consider your budget and how many times your actually going to be using it. I owned a 70-200 F4L and a 85mm 1.8, and I tended to use the tele more than the prime, more versatile and allowed me to stay put. Sold the 85 and went with the tele. That was about 2 years ago.
Since I was using it primarily for a portrait shoot like say a model, the tele gave me that flexibility to concentrate more on her (like directing her poses, talking to the model more etc). But nowadays I dont do the "stay put - just zoom" technique , maybe if its a studio I would ,but walking around produces better results. So if you can afford it, then go with a prime.
Btw if your into portraits, try your hand with lighting. A reflector can make a huge difference, and then go strobist :)
By then you'll realize a good lens is just part of it.
-
the 55-250 can do both headshots and half body portraits so you can practice with that first. it won't make your subject pop out as much as a fast prime lens though.
-
^hmm salamat sa mga tips guys. i'll be better start off with my 55-250 muna then getting expose to studio light techniques muna using that lens. kelangan lang talaga more time and lots of creativity.
-
i would say 85mm for crop sensor... if naka full frame ka, go for 135.

Review of the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 Art lens
http://slrgear.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/1677/cat/30
By targetting the super-expensive Zeiss-Otus 55mm f/1.4, it seems Sigma has made THE 50mm lens you want to have. Apparently, it delivers a solid thumping to the Canon f/1.2L, and the everything Nikon has between 50 and 58mm.
Conclusion
The Sigma 50mm f/1.4 Art is the most exciting lens we're likely to review this year. All competing lenses from Canon and Nikon fell short when compared to the resolving power of the 50mm Art. We haven't (yet) tested the very best from Zeiss, but we are confident Sigma will trounce it in one key area: price. This difference is likely to be a yawning chasm. Our expectation for pricing on this lens is for something at least a bit less than Canon's 50mm f/1.2 L, which goes for $1,700; despite a variety of rumors and no official price for the Sigma yet, we're expecting it'll be less than that.

They're one of the big 3rd party manufacturers for Nikon/Canon/Sony DSLR systems, along with Sigma.
Quality varies from lens to lens though, but their 17-50mm f2.8 is quite popular alternative to the Canon/Nikon originals.

I have a friend who swears by his tamron 70-200, for about half the price of the canon and nikon equivalents there isn't much you'll miss for the price point. I've also read that the G2 version of that lens is even better than the canon and nikon equivalents.

I still have my Tamron 17-50 2.8.
after about 8 years of use, medyo nag higpit yung zooming mechanism nya. It still works though pero kailangan na ng konting force para mag-zoom out or zoom in.
Ginagamit ko pa rin sya ngayon. Kapag tuluyan na syang nasira, I will still buy another tammy 17-50 2.8 rather than the canon equivalent.

Interestingly the highest-rated lens on DXOmark (https://www.dxomark.com/best-lenses-under-13000-dollars) is a Nikon-mount Sigma 85mm f/1.4 prime, beating out Carl Zeiss and first-party glass.

**sigh** it's been a while for me & I havent check my lens, mostly M Lens, that are in the drybox & camera bag.

35mm or 50mm?
-
They serve different purposes IMHO, 50 is close to half-body portrait at normal 35mm scene distances, you have to move a fair bit backward to get equivalent of 35mm field of view on a 50mm. Same applies for 35mm for portraits/close-ups.

I'd personally go with 50mm.
pag kailangan ng wider wider shots, camera phone pwede na. hehe
