Most camera, including phones will shoot at least 60fps now. The fps you need depends on the type of video footage you want to create. 24fps 30fps is more natural looking. 60fps is more surreal and what games usually are. 120fps and above is used to create slow motion. The higher the fps the...

[emoji1] I have the sigma version of that lens. It's a great lens but heavy as hell.

Went with the 85mm in the end [emoji23]

Yeah, good advice. [emoji106]

I think my only problem with getting an 85mm lens on a crop sensor is the room I might need to use it. But I think it would be an amazing lens.

Thanks for the reply. I am drawn to the 85mm for sure. It's probably what I'll go for in the end. Just wondering if the 50mm prime is much different to my sigma. [emoji5]

Thanks for the feedback. I'll try and do that. Maybe I can pick up a cheap second hand lens.

Hi everyone. I own a sigma 17-50 2.8 lens and was trying to decide if it would be worth buying a 50mm prime lens. I'd use it for portrait type stuff, but I don't know if it's worth paying for the lens considering it might not give me results that are too different to what I can get now. My sigma...

You can teach anyone anything if they are willing to learn and have a good go at it.

Stay away from the sigma 70-300. I'm on my second because the first one broke. Auto focus failure. I sent it off under warranty and they fixed it but it soon broke again. Now it sits in my camera bag broken. I occasionally use it with manual focus.

Im not entirely sure what your on about mate. However, if you host on flickr you can go on there with your iPad and copy and paste the link here

Well I have the lens now. Just playing with it and I love it. I'm now questions if I need my 50mm and should maybe just sell it. I could achieve great portrait shots with this lens I think.
