I think most MKII user are waiting for the MKIII to arrive end of the year or next year. If you can find one now. get it first and shoot.

Which one u recommend - a 50mm f/1.4 or 85mm f/1.8?
Don't have too much budget so looking for non-L prime...

F1.4 handles low light better and D1.8 is what i am using. The dust gets into the lens easily

Visited e universal studio today. Had fun w my 5d2+24-105. Sun was bright high. One thing I'm still getting used to is that my 24mm on a FF is wide ha (n distortation)! but was kindof sad I kindof missed my tele longer side as well (was using my 24-105 on my previous 50D).

Now seriously thinking if I would complement a tele instead of a uwa (initial plan).

New day, new experience! And, not worried to up my iso when I go indoor at all! Saved my back & knee from bringing my 580ex2 (also not allowed indoor). But a pop up flash is definitely useful when e sun was sky high... Oh well.

Yes its a great camera indoors.. but i still getting a flash for event coverages.. contemplating between the 430exII and the 580 exII.... saw some good prices for these flashes at artworkfoto website....

Just wondering if artworkfoto is a safe shop....

Using the kit lens only.. Thinking of getting 1 for low light environment.. I knew my question is stupid, haha, but I not sure about the differences of 50mm vs 85mm..

 

[sinned79]

I not sure about the differences of 50mm vs 85mm..

difference is the length (reach)

Note: Ignore the text below the photo, just view the photo and the illustration as it is on the photo.

Haha.. Of cos I knew.. Just that 85mm mainly used for potrait, how about 50mm? Usually u guys used them for what purpose? Thanks for sharing

it depends on your shooting style.

u can also use 85mm for landscape (upclose shoots) or street shoots.

most uses 50mm for general use (portraits -> landscape -> macro with the use of filters or extension tubes to add macro capabilities) etc

personally i dun really like to use 50mm, cos i find it not here or there. i prefer 35mm over 50mm. and i use my 35mm for general use (as above minus macro).
