Hi guys, I have a bit of a problem here. I was out taking sunset pictures tonight and after a while I noticed that my camera (Canon 70D) stopped saving pictures I took. I used a mirror lock up function on. It saved them up to the point and then just stopped. I dont understand why. Could I have...

I bought Canon EF 24-70mm II lens from them quite recently. Paid with a credit card for protection. The order arrived promptly, in fact the order was placed on Friday and delivered on Tuesday. Everything was in order. Original Canon packaging, sealed etc.... Can't fault them. I only used them...

Thanks, I did read a lot of great things said about 135 f/2....

Do the more expensive L primes suffer from CA too?

Cool!!! Thanks!

Well, it's not really me. I am looking through the pictures people give as examples of their shots with 85 1.8 and purple fringing is quite strong....especially on trees in portrait shots. They say, even when edited it doesnt look right. And to be honest, I prefer to spend minimum time in...

Thanks Adam, I plan to do so as soon as it stops raining :) The more I read about these lenses, the more frustrated I get. I sort of made up my mind on 85 1.8 as the second option (on top of 24 or 35) but now I read a lot of users complaint about very strong cromatic abberation with this lens...

Canon 50mm 1.4 has quite a bit of controversial reviews from professional photographers who use it day in day out I dont know... I dont have a real need or urgency for buying it right now. I think I'd rather stick with something mmore universally approved.

Thanks Pete. Will 24mm be wide enough to just use as a walk-around the cities lens you think? Too shoot streets, buildings, sights etc. Thanks, I'll check the shops you mentioned.

:) thanks guys

Yeah, can buy 24mm from Amazon for £458 as well

As I have a travel site, I do take a lot of pictures of sights, cities, landscapes, markets...anything that would be interesting for tourists to see. So, I think your suggestion of 24mm would probably suit this purpose better. What do u think? I also like taking portraits...for my own pleasure...

Where did you buy them second-hand from AdamTudor? Where's a reliable place? Thanks

Thanks a lot David!

I dont have much experience with prime lenses.... that's why I am asking for advice here AdamTudor... I am looking for one (maybe two) primes within my budget that I would be able to use in low light, for cityscapes and time to time for portraits (I am not a pro, it's mainly for taking portraits...
