Canon Rebel Xsi Club III - EOS 450D Only

[gman23xx]

haha considering my age, thats expected. my family is not rich...i saved for 1.5 years to get my camera. i started with a 2nd hand film SLR (EOS300) for $250 5 years ago but the developing costs drowned my interest.

Being rich is not a issue. I'm not rich too.

In some conditions, it maybe essential.. like to much flare from surrounding.. i.e. a low lit hall with lotsa spotlightes all over.

some1 correct me if im wrong..

im not saying you are bro. being NOT rich is an issue for me. my parents dont have extra money to spend on me. they are barely surviving on the low pay they are getting, so the last thing they'd need is to sponsor my camera. just to get my stand right, im not envious of u guys nor am i dismissive of ppl who have sponsored cameras. just sharing my situation since everyone is sharing. i have no intention of flaming anyone or implying anyone is rich.

this thread is again approaching 1000 posts. it is too fast for me to catch up actually. considering permanently retiring from this thread liao.

hmmm.. but then again for the kit lens , the hood is quite useless as its so darn shallow, so i think the preventing flare part, it cant be of much use.. I am presuming the third party is of similar shape with the original

Hey guys.

Although I had yet to fire off my 450D alas a test shot at the shop, I'm into landscape and nature photography and sometimes do shooting for events. Wat are the recommended lenses for such shoots?

Cheap and yet good.

haha.. pardon me, from the request you are asking for .. You seems to want a all purpose lens. So actually there is no solution to your request, unless you really specify what you really want or need.

Anyway.. stick to the kit lens first... no rush into buying so many when you are not even well verse with the kit lens :thumbsup:

I have a lens hood for my 50 f1.8. It's easier to hold it.

Hi RyanG,

I'm not sure what is your budget. IMHO, you may want to consider getting Canon 10-20MM for landscape, having wider angle is definitely better. For shooting events you may want to consider how close you will be with your subjects. If you are the person who likes to take candid pictures of people during events. You will need a fast lens. If it is outdoor, you can consider 70-200MM F4L. It is much more worth it then having 55-250MM. A second hand cost $800 average. If you are taking indoors, get a faster prime like Sigma 30mm F/1.4 or Canon 28mm f/1.8.

Hey there, I would too think that the recommendations you gave will suite his request. But i think thats everyother range of lens ! :bsmilie: And thats doesnt equiv to his definition of cheap and good. At least not the cheap part.
10-22 is = around 900++

70-200 I would recommend F4 Is version = 1500 ++

Sigma 30 F1.4 Altho the 1.4 seems attracting, maybe talk about its softness wide open.. so you may want to take note = 500++

28 F 1.8 Same with the sigma brother , It is said to be soft wide open , so it may not be that good. = around 750++

So i would recommend him to really try his style of photography first

How do you use a lens hood..? Is there a fixed position to put it?

Yup there's a catch on the front part of the lens... just put in and twist.
