Hate you funky... That is my ultimate wish-list lens

EDIT: Holy ninja post chopstick!

Man, if I wasn't shooting stuff that required wider angles lately, I'd be all over that lens.

+1... my lens requirements seem to be seasonal. Long lenses in the spring/summer. Wide lenses for fall/winter. I never seem to have the money at the right time to buy the lens I need either...

Wait, I never have money period. (sad2)





EDIT: Anyone look into this lens?

18-250mm F3.5-6.3 DC OS HSM

 

[sleeper3]

I've heard about lots of frustrations with ~18-~200 lenses... Not much good, unfortunately... plus, f/6.3 at the zoom side? yuck.

my next lens will be a Canon L. Right now, it's looking like it will be a 24-70. If I buy in the summer, it might turn into a 100-400 though.

I think as of right now my lens list in order of precedence is:

50mm f/1.8
10-22mm f/3.5
100-400mmL

tehe! though I'm surprised you're not lookin at the 1.4 instead.

 

[sleeper3]

if you want to get the 50mm f/1.8, just do it! it's $100! that's chump change, man! The one you would have to contemplate is the 50mm f/1.4, cause it's like $3-400 or so. I kind of wish I had gotten that one. One stop faster FTW.

I picked up my mkI for $125... like most things I own, I basically stole it.

Yeah, I know. 1.4 is really tempting, but it comes down to money. If I have it at the time, I'll get the f/1.4, but for now my budget says 1.8

24-70 is a good lens. I miss mine. It's out for repairs right now haha. I think I used it too much.

I bought the mk2 for $80. (shrug)

50 1.4 is better than the 1.8 but the 85m 1.8 is better than the 1.4

LOL..rent it man and try it out for yourself. I think you'll like it. Actually, LOVE it.

Why would you tell me this? Are you trying to ruin me? (toetap)

debatable... depends on what body and how you want to use it.

I want to do that, but I'm afraid to. I know I'll like it, it will just make me want it more.

The 85 f/1.8 is the same money as the 50 f/1.4... it's just a question of 1, enough room to work with, and 2, is the extra stop of light important.
