I currently have a kit 18-105. I've been more interested in street photo and portrait shots. I've been debating over the
35mm 1.8, 50mm 1.4, or Tamron 17-50 2.8. What do you guys think? Thanks.

How much do you guys think a sigma 17-70 f2.8-4.5 is worth?
What's a better all around lens for the price?

^ i've had a sigma 17-70 before and it was pretty good for the price. the f2.8 is actually only from 17-20mm then it goes up, but for what it costs vs (back then) canon's 17-85 f4-5.6, i was pretty pleased. had a sharp copy too some people don't like the "warm glow" it provided though but i was always particular to the warmth.

i have the sigma 17-70 haha. it was the first lens i bought after i got my first camera earlier this year. im just wondering what would be a nice upgrade for around the same price range.
mine isnt every sharp shooting people but its sharp when shooting objects. the pictures it takes are kinda soft. im just asking for a price check because i think i got ripped off. i bought it for $400 and i see some for cheaper but with os hsm but not in the best condition. but i got mine mint with everything in the box. right now im trying to figure a price to sell it for.

@moky, i love the warm glow too! i like to increase the temperature when editing on top of the glow haha

yeah I have the HSM OS and it's a pretty good walkaround lens, I stopped using my 17-40 L because of the OS helps loads at night without a tripod. It's very sharp, maybe you should just upgrade to it

Has anyone used the MP-E 65? It seems like a really neat lens
Any suggestions for macro lenses, flowers, bugs, small objects etc.?

Im looking for a little more reach from my 70-200.

Anyone know anything about the Kenko MC4 1.4x Teleconverters?
Reviews are a hit and miss with this thing. Some people say its as good as the Nikon TC-14E, and others say its shit.

What do you think of the Canon EF 35-105mm Zoom Lens f/4.5-5.6 for $30 dollars.

Basic use, just bored of my kit lens from my t2i.

The only thing is that the electronic is disabled ? Getting it on ebay, and this is what the seller is saying.

" The electronics for this lens have been disconnected and the aperture set on full. "

So this pretty much means manual focus ? anything else i should know about it ?
Spoiler!


etc..

I'm still looking for a new prime and I'm not sure which one I should get. I'm either thinking the 35mm 1.8D or the 24mm 2.8D.

I was leaning towards the 24mm since it's a wider prime and would be interesting to play with one. I currently have a 50mm 1.4D and a 85mm 1.8D as my primes.

Also, anyone have any experience with the Nikon 24-70mm 2.8? Thinking of upgrading from my 17-50mm 2.8 to one of them.

I had one for about a year, until i sold it for bigger things. It's a great lens, but you NEED a MR-14EX, or the MR-24 or whatever its called to make it happen. It's the hardest most frustrating lens you will ever use, but the results that you get out of it are amazing if you know how to use it. If it's your first macro lens, get a Canon 100mm macro, the Sigma 105mm Macro, or even the Tamron 90mm Macro. They are all good first macro lenses.

Fuck I'm drunk. Had to rewrite this about 5 times to make it make sense.
