What Canon lens to Purchase?

[Azrielsc]

Hi there,

Just need recommendations. I've a Canon 40D and a Sigma 18-125mm walkabout lens at the moment of which, the Sigma has served me very well. Now, I'm thinking of getting a lens that allows me to take sharp photos of cars or parts of cars, amongst others. Usually close up shots, etc.

Can anyone suggest a lens for that purpose? I'm actually leaning towards a 50mm F/1.4 but I am open to suggestions/recommendations.

Thank you and best regards,
Sam

Depend on your budget. If involve in macro photography, you can try a 50mm/60mm macro lens.

Basically all prime will do the job for better bokeh and sharpness..

Thanks for the suggestions.

I'm just wondering what other lens there are that are similar to the Canon 50mm F/1.4 and also in that price range? Doesn't matter if they are Sigma/Tamron/etc but along that budget and performance. Toying with the idea of getting a 2nd hand Canon 50mm F/1.4, if it ever comes up!

Cheers!

Forgot to ask if the 50mm F/1.8 would be a better deal, if I couldn't be bothered with the plasticky feel?
