Please share! I've been eyeing up fish eye lenses for just getting a cheap (£30) fisheye camera which doesnt look as great (but that kinda makes it look... great lol).

if you're pretty new.. for £40 you cant go wrong for a zoom lens like that! gives you more to experiment with and find out what you prefer (primes... low zooms or telephotos). bite the bullet and do it if you arent worried about cash :)

starting with a 55-xxx is pretty restricting imo. you'll want to drop down to 18 with the other lens alot to start with to get that width.

welcome welcome! great light painting shots btw!

over 3 years and havent found TP til now?! youve been missing out :P

You need to try a 50mm and you will see the draw to them! Prime's can be restricting but only in terms of zoom!

Just get hold of a remote and fire it off on a timer just before you drive off. Pull a quick U-ey and grab ur gear when its done :P

Epsom downs? by the racetrack is a great place to catch a sunset! high ground and all.

Not anymore! Wouldn't trust it in central london..

lmao nice! this is circulating my facebook now :P

Interesting how a third party can make a lens better than the camera manufacturer! Always makes me question what goes in to building a lens that two similar lenses can have such a difference in image quality. Let us know how you get on with the Sigma!

Great colours on your shots.. are you doing most of that in post processing?

I've had this but i've got used to the fixed zoom on it. I now find because i use my 50mm so much, i rarely zoom on my other lenses and just tend to move my position rather than zoom.

I'd shoot for the 50mm f1.4 (especially over the 1.8). insane depth of field will give you some solid portraits! the extra ££ is worth the 0.4 F stop!

I've recently discovered my beloved 17-80mm nikkor lens has some dust problems. But here's the issue - it's on the inside of the glass. Both ends of the lens are clean on the outside, but this dust is on the inside of the large bit of glass at the end of the lens. I have no idea how it got in...
