messing around the other day during lunch with my girl.. getting some authentic chinese cuisine

 

Nice. what glass were you using?

 

35mm 1.8.. nifty little lens.. i like its range over the 50mm

 

Nice. I'm shooting a 50mm 1.8, but I've been wanting the 35. I've heard great things about it.

 

I can't wait until I can ditch my 50mm for the 35mm.

 

lol. panda express! very authentic!

 

yah id say optically they are pretty even.. i just liked the length of the 35 better.. 50 was too close for me..

and you cant get more authentic then panda hahaha...

 

 

here are a couple more samples of what the lens can do.. i think its pretty solid..

 

if this were facebook, i'd like this 9 times

 

Looky what the man in brown brought for me today


and


I've also got a GF "Puffer" coming and a spare battery. And now that I think I'm hooked on this photography thing, I may be ditching the D3000 for a D90 in the next couple of months.... Thanks alot, jerks :D

 

took some snow pics

 

Few additions to my gear lately.

Just got a new 24-105mm f/4L IS lens, new Hoya HD filters for my 70-200mm f/4L IS and 24-105mm, as well as the HD Circular Polarizing Filter. Really dig the HD filters, they are awesome.

So I am happy with my gear so far, but next up is an ultra-wide angle (looking at Tokina 12-24mm f/4) as it is reported to be one of the sharpest UWA out there, and its quite cheap.

But as of right now:

Gear List:
Canon 7D
24-105mm f/4L IS
70-200mm f/4L IS
50mm f/1.8
17-85mm 4-5.6 IS
Tamron 1.4x Pro TC
430EX II Flash

Next on the buy list:
Tokina 12-24mm
Sigma 30mm f/1.4

Wish list:
Canon 135mm f/2L

 

I've got the 24-105 and I LOVE that lens. it is what I use 90% of the time. Just wish it was a little bit faster and it would be perfect.

 

I don't have any problem with it's speed, but the 7D is also very capable up to ISO 6400 so I just bump up the ISO if i need it.

If the light is that bad, f/2.8 won't save me and is still too slow. That is where primes come into play.

 

I'm thinking about a 2nd lens... I have a 18-70mm lens....any suggestions??? 75-300mm???

 

exactly. I'm starting to like the 3200 that the 5d produces.

 

NICE! you actually got the AF-S 50mm. i think i would rather buy the 35mm 1.8 and another lens for the price of the 50mm AF-S. BUT nice pickups though.. lets see some pics with the 50mm!

 

35mm is definatly my next lens, but 50mm 1.4 DO WANT!

 

No PP, just converted from RAW to JPEG... And I realize now the dog needs a bath now.
