So I decided to keep my 1100d and bought some lenses etc. 18-135mm 10-20mm sigma But after playing about with the lenses, im not really feeling the need for the wide angle. Well the extra 8mm that it gains from my 18-135 im not really noticing the need for it, even for my landscapes im...

This has totally cleared it up for me. Focal length is always the same. Distortion is always the same. Field of view is the thing that changes. Correct? :D

so the only difference is how much arround the edges is seen? distortion on lenses will always be the same Thata what im wondering aswell martyn hehe, for example a 12mp camera is a 12 mp camera no matter what, so you would think the cropped image would be better quality as its more pixels into...

Thanks for clearing that up. So when people say 100mm is a good portrait lens, i should buy a 100mm? i was under the impression that my 50mm prime was great as its equivilent is 96mm. I think the whole perseption of this cropped stuff confuses alot of people, for example "i want a really long...

Hi there, Been studying photography for a year now and heading onto my HNC in august. Doing great and producing some great images but one thing that's always confused me are focal lengths when it comes to full frame or cropped sensors. For example, when I buy an EF-S lens for canon and...

i just dont know what to do lol!!! Would keeping my 1100d and spending the money on fast lenses be better option? I think its going to between keeping 1100d and getting new lenses, or going for 5d and one nice lens.

Thanks for great reply. I think I will have a rethink on what to get, but its hard trying to find a 5d with low shutter count as most are pretty old now. So the prices are quite high for me, I have £1000 but I want to get quite a wide variety of equipment to expand on my learning experience...

Thanks for the comments mate etc. much appreciated. I just worry that getting a used 5D with very little life left in it might not be worth the cash. Ive bought of digitalrev plenty of times with no imported tax etc Very professional company with a great community orientated website...

What about compared to a 600d or a 60d? im heading towards the 60d. here is a list of things I plan to get/upgrade. My £1000 limit!!!! £30 - A third cheap flash - ebay £10 - A third trigger for flash - ebay £319 - sigma 10-22mm f4.5 from digitalrev £40 - Seagate 500gb usb 3.0 external...

Only thing putting me off the 5D is the age of it and lack of features. High ISO etc and overall speed. Would the 60D be a nice upgrade from 1100d?

I am using £1000 of my student loan to buy equipment, from lenses to portable harddrives etc Got my eye on the 60D now, looks pretty nice and specs are interesting.

Would love a full frame but prices are through the roof are they not? Would the 60mm macro not be about 90/100 on a cropped sensor? I will look into your ideas, cheers :)

Hi there, Im coming to end of my NC Photography course and im starting my HNC in august and with my student loan I plan to invest in some lenses but was also thinking of upgrading my camera but not sure if its really worth it. My current equipment is: Canon 1100d 18-55mm Lens 50mm 1.8...

Hi there, Have just bought some cheap studio lights but the modelling bulb which came with it was smashed, im awaiting another. But in the meantime I bought a EVEREADY 20w / 1152lm / 220-240V/50Hz energy saving lamp. The 20w is equal to 100w, which is still a lot lower than the recommended...

Hi again, This is the edit i done, you think its better or you think i should just go with a squarer crop of original (to take bike away) ?
