Hello. have been a long standing lover of photography and have been absent for a few years ever since getting a PC. Have had a play with digital photography using a Minolta Dimage S304 and have just decided to go the whole hog and have bought a Canon 30D. I am in the process of choosing a lens to go with the 18/55 mm kit lens, hopefully these forums will give me the hindsight needed to make the decision.
Cheers
 
Welcome Shorn :)

What type of photogrpahy subject do you favour - I'm sure you'll have many lens suggestions depending on your preferences and budget

:canon:
 
I like all types of photography, but I do love candids, I think I will be purchasing a 50mm lens first, budget is tight after buying the 30D but canon just sent me my £100 cash back so the 50mm 1.8 looks good to me. Would like the 1.4 but I think it's out of my reach for a good while yet.
and hello to you too :)
 
:welcome:

:wave: Hi Shorn and welcome :thumbs:

You'll see lots of posts on here about a member called Kerso - he sells Canon gear for superb prices through his ebay store. If you send him a PM through the forum or email to kerso1123@msn.com he'll do you a really good deal. He's currently doing the 50mm f1.8 for £60 delivered!
 
welcome!
 
Howdy :)

Just ordered my 50mm 1.8 - Cant wait for it to get here now!
 
Thanks for the friendly welcome :)
Am about to pm Kerso now :)
Anyone have anything to say about the 50mm 1.8 ?
 
the 50mm 1.8 is awesome - no frill / does exactly what is says on the tin / sharp image. Good luck fella
 
Hi Shorn

Thanks for your comments.

I too was looking at the nifty fifty but my sigma 105mm took me to the top end of my budget, but then also got a 70-300 whilst saving up, darn it why do I do that.

Enjoy

Andy
 
Why do I get the feeling that this forums is going to cost me money :):bonk:

Feels like it's built by Fisher Price with a good handful of sand in the mechanism but you'll be amazed how sharp it is and the gorgeous DOF at 1.8

Just like to say, I have viewed asnd joined many forums since buying the digital slr, but none have been as welcoming as here.
Thanks
 
Hello InaGlo, funnily enough I spent 5 weeks working as a beach photographer. I enjoyed every minute of it but I very rarely go to the beach even though I live a 10 min walk from the finest beaches in the South West.
