I want some new Lenses...

[Justin]

10-22mm is what I'm after!

 

[Ali]

^Whats that for.

Bought the 50mm there!

 

[Rasclart]

10-22 is an ULTRA wide angle lens. Mainly for landscape work but gives great distortion effects up close as well

 

[Ali]

Not what i want.

Filters...What and where should i buy, To go on the 50mm.

 

[Justin]

UV and CPL lenses are good.. Think mine are Hoya ones

IMHO I wouldn't bother with a filter unless you want a CPL (polarising filter). Even then the CPL will cost about the same as the lens itself and is only worth getting if you can use it on one of your other lenses.

It is not really necessary to get a filter for protection as the front element is recessed anyway so there is less chance of catching it on something.

edit: although the prices in the link above make it easier to justify!

price up a cpl for a 70+mm lens... and i mean a good make like a hoya etc...

My 72mm Hoya CPL was £47. Hardly the price of a lens.

We are talking about a nifty fifty..... from the prices I had seen, a CPL was only 10 quid less than the lens.

 

[Ali]

CPL!?

 

[Clart]

my 77mm hoya was £30 - 10 times less than the lens? not quite sure what you mean?

Views on this lens? I've seen the pics from it and it's superb! Just wondering what the body of the kirk feel to it?

 

[Justin]

I have that 70-300 lense, though I have never used it! Never really had a use for it, although I think if I was taking more pics at say knockhill it would be pretty useful

Yes, is good kit

£10 less, not ten times less.

Canon 50 f1.8 = £50-£80
B&W CPL = £35-£90.

You can get cheaper filters of course which makes it more worth doing..... but then you get arguments about quality etc etc.

Thats the one i'm about to get Ali. I have found for something like £116 delivered from onestopdigital. UKASKEW recommended it to me!

 

[Ali]

And that lens is for what...Macro? - CLose up stuff?

Can be used for macro stuff but it has a long zoom so i'll be using it on trackdays, etc when you can't get very close to the track.

 

[theduck]

Macro just means it can focus at 1:1 or greater (in theory anyway)

 

[182-racing-blue]

Just bought this. Take it I get the thumbs up?

[Nigel]

Great lense, i use my 50mm Nikon a lot when out and about.

 

[182-racing-blue]

Just out of interest, I saw fisheye lenses mentioned earlier in this thread and I was wondering if anyone has actually spent 3-400 quid on one???

They provide great effects but I know its not the sort of thing that you carry around with you all of the time,

Also are the lens adaptors any good???

 

[Nigel]

I have a 10-20 Sigma and I love it for landscapes and some street photos, but I don't think i'd buy the sigma again. It just seems the images are soft and low light performance is poor IMO.

i agree on the low light performance, but mines not soft at all. There are known issues with these though, if u have a soft one i'd return it to sigma.

 

[JJ!]

I'm starting to enjoy my Sigma 30mm F1.4 more at the moment... in low light its performance is superb!
