Also if you intend on doing car shots get a polarizer filter too. photography-on-the.net has a ton of info in the forums, so just look around and see what people are using to help you decide what lens should be next.

i have an xt, heh. but yes, i plan on the 50mm 1.8 as one of my next lenses. i just registered on that forum this past weekend. hope to learn a lot.

as far as clarity goes, i think the first set came out clearer. the second half was more grainy than the first. you should come to SD so grant can take pics of your car and i can practice.

Very nice work. Looks like you're using a tripod, I need to get one...they make a world of difference.
Nice wheels, nice car.

Already?

IMO, waste of money. That lens is perfectly fine for a starter. From what I hear, it will take you alot of experience until you max out the perfomance on the starter lens.

By the way,I have some good websites about lenses if your interested.

I've had my camera for about 6 months and i'm already ready to get the Tokina 12-24mm and the canon 85mm. I will also be getting the, as they call it "nifty fifty" just to have some fun with.

$75 bucks?

Wow, I take it back. Can't go wrong with that, as long as it does what its suppose to do.

Cal, most lenses I see usually start no less than 250, so I assumed you were going for something that expensive.

Can't wait till I see one in the mail, with Henry on its ship destination
