for that budget, it is either the sigma 17-70 C or the sigma/tamron 17-50. you have to weigh in what you need more, constant aperture(17-50) or longer reach(17-70). personally, i went with the 17-70 because i wanted the reach and i am happy with the bokeh on it. however, if you are only into...

For a beginner like myself, entry level DSLR like 1100D(which i am using) is good enough. can check marketplace got several good deals on second hand entry level dslr like 5xxD or 6XXD series with lens going for about 500-600 which seems pretty decent. just my 2 cents sharing. :)

so which websites do most of you guys use?

great pictures! will be going roughly the same places as you in dec!

amazing stuff!

hi, please quote me on the sigma and canon 50mm f1.4. thanks!

not so rich.. :( it seems USM is faster but STM is more silent.. better for video? may try my hands on a video log for the trip. even with a nice background, sometimes blurring the background with the focus on the person would have a very nice effect? i don't know but that's how i...

i tend to shoot more full body portraits. so maybe i should consider a 35mm? the thing about my 17-70 is that it is not constant aperture. the max hits f4 at 70mm.. hmm.. sounds like the 10-18mm is the way to go.. i'm guessing my technique is not quite up to standard yet. will keep working on...

not selfie but like portrait shots? i somehow feel that f2.8 does not give me enough blur in the background.. and i feel that my 17mm is not wide enough at times to take landscape.. i was also considering that winter in europe causes the day to be dark fast so maybe the 10-22 with a higher...

will be heading to Swiss/Germany in dec and i was thinking about getting a second hand lens to bring along my travels. currently i have a sigma 17-70 C on my canon 1100d along with my tripod and remote. currently considering either a wide angle (10-22) or prime (50mm f1.4).. i take both...

good advice! will work on it. should try using the live view and zoom to see if photo is really focus. thought the leaves were great subject, guess i was wrong. shall try to improve my eye for a better subject in future. thanks! roger that! thanks for advice the photo itself is blur? i...

was trying to get more focus on the leaves but can't seem to do so, will brush up on my skills. how do i make the green look better? i was actually trying to get the leaves in focus with the bokeh complementing it. i guess i could place the leaves better? haha the kranji reservoir was to...
