a new... with some suggestions

NEW TOY FOR ME!!!

...CAMERA! GO ME!!

ok, so far, any pictures i've taken that have been submitted here have been made with either a Kodak disposable camera (only one or two pictures) or my p&s Canon PowerShot A570 IS.

i've always wanted something a little more professional, just without the price tag. LOL

so i found a great Intermediate DSLR that suites my needs (at least the next few years), has all the features i was looking for, and best of all, fit my budget for what i was willing to pay.

i got a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi w/ an 18-55mm lens and, of course, a padded carrying case.

now i know i'll be needing to get at least one more lens, but it'll have to wait for a little while.

what lenses would you suggest to go with this?

  • Playing: Iron Man
  • Drinking: Bud Light

i just bought a 40D with the following lenses:

Canon EF 50mm F/1.8 II Standard Auto Focus
[link]
Everyone swears by this one. excellent and inexpensive

Canon EF 28mm f/2.8 AutoFocus Wide Angle Lens - USA
[link]
i shoot alot of wide angle so i bit the bullet and shelled out for this one

my kit came with
EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Zoom Lens
and
Canon EF 75-300 F/4.0-5.6 III USM Lens

neither of which were particularly fast so thats why i bought the 1.8 and the 2.8

have fun :D

thanks!

i got my 50mm F/1.8 last week. unfortunately, work has kept me for getting to go out and use it for another couple of days.

i haven't decided about getting a wide-angle, but maybe later.

i know i'll be wanting a normal-telephoto lens, but it'll be awhile for i get another lens. the 50mm should be just fine.. for now. LOL

thank you again.

my submission rules

Camera: Canon EOS 400D (Digital Rebel XTi)

since i left my last message i sold the 28 and a 20 that i had and also sold the 18-55. i replaced it wth the 18-55 with image stabilization and its great. between the 50 and the 18-55 IS i'm having fun. i am looking at one more lens to cover my needs and thats the 10-22 super wide angle. its kinda pricey though so it might be little while. but i really love shooting as wide as possible when im doing fetish or nudes.

that 50mm would have been perfect for the portraits you posted called brian 01 02 03.

have fun with it!
