"Three Rules of Discipline." .
1. The lens is used for photography, is not to burn money. "Equipment" to make photography into the lens of appreciation and collection of art, putting the cart before the horse, not desirable. However, the talk about equipment, exchange ideas, and fun. Not to have fun.
2. Even if there is even the best lens, the most important thing is sinking behind the lens head. Lens is a means, not ends. More effort should be on how to use a good shot, shoot film. There are many discussions on the lens used for reference. .
3. Lens testing over. In order to test the movie, you can never end. Chop knife grinding, grinding it addictive, but don't miss the cut firewood event.
"Eight Points for Attention." .
1. Important than the fuselage. Limited funding, should the investment to infinite. The final lens decides everything. Lens imaging, but obvious. Buy the fuselage of the ultimate issue is how to save money to buy the lens body. Today the most simple DSLR body has sufficient professional photography, from the basic requirements of quality, you can shoot the picture completely professional. For non-professionals, some special functionality, as well as all-metal fuselage fully redundant waterproofing. The fuselage is developing so fast that must not be deemed durable goods. 18 months to introduce a generation, eliminated quickly. In the imaging, printing, large screen display technology driven, have three to five years of mental preparation for the fuselage. Good shot is different, can be "life." In addition, a good lens is relatively preserved in the secondary market. .
2. Canon 18-55mm hedging is just a start of transition coach head, feel free to use and very affordable jiaoduan. No header, you can use it to temporarily. If possible, it's best to take one or buy a second hand to the province. It holds a relatively short period. If you are in frequent use, instructions for users not yet out of DSLR entry stage, without a full understanding of the importance of the lens on the camera. Canon's marketing strategy is to let you throw this hedging sooner or later. Look at the 18-55 second-hand value - unwanted broken (very new at the ebay sold for half price only)! Therefore, the first elected head of the 18-55 equivalent to income of a chicken ribs. .
3. Canon 50mm/F1 .8 II personality. ' than the excellent good head. Image quality can be compared with professional L head. Saving money just hedging can buy the standard lens. If you do not buy the temporarily no better zoom, use the header you can taste a DSLR, very professional and good films. Portrait and flower flowers grass, with occasional scenery: 50mm/F1 .8, well studied. "large aperture using (demo), and soon you can make a good movie.
4. "A mirror with anything," no good. Optical technology limits the zoom lens than a good three to four times. 18-200mm is easy to use, but the film is very soft (not clear), especially in the telephoto section. After all, DSLR features and fun also lies in the ability to change lenses. .
5. The larger the aperture, the lens. F2 F4 price than .8. twice, but Aperture to F2. .8, lens Imaging cannot guarantee and F4 as good. Select the camera to take into account the large aperture really common to avoid waste. If you just want to have a large aperture of addiction, cheap 50mm/rather than F1 F2. .8. .8 fun!.
6. Relatively inexpensive lens, aperture-down two to third gear, usually F8 and F11, Resolving power will be close to a good shot. However, users have lost a good shot in the dark light, high velocity, low depth of field shooting under the conditions of technical support. Even a good lens, small aperture receive two to third gear, usually the best performance. .
7. The anti-shake IS lens is very practical that without it, a tripod or monopod is very affordable.
8. Seriously consider the higher price of EF-S lenses (only for APS-C format). If you want, do not recommend long-term hold. Transition to the 5D body as the whole site is a general trend. Until the time of upgrade, EF-S became a waste. A look at today, how many people use only manual focus A-1 and its camera? . .
Here I recommend you give more consideration to second-hand equipment, second-hand equipment is the best way to save money. 350D/400D and differences 20D/30D, I think it is absolutely no need to walk the new model. 400D extra 200W pixels that have little value?? Automatic dust removal has much value??? Remember a rule: digital SLR phase-out period is 16 months or less, which means your hand like a machine from bought that day, it's not far to obsolescence, it is simply to buy out the fairly, and also cheap!.

The four tall good quality, recommended to consider. CANON of the 16-35L ,24-70L and 70-200L F2. .8 Good, but it is too expensive, not very cost-effective. Tamron 28-75 as the "poor L-head." Comments from the network point of view, combined low-light focus only drawback slower, the advantages in addition to cheap, there is relatively lightweight. 3,000. Drawback there is the individual differences, and choose when to be careful. .
Price: EF-S 85mm 17-F/4-5. .6 IS USM ($ 3900) + Canon EF 50mm f/1. .8 II ($ 600).
Price: 3900 yuan (disassemble Edition 2500) +600 Element ,17-85 can provide wide-angle to medium telephoto focal lengths covered, but also has good anti-shake IS capability, only The lens can take a variety of occasions. Ferrari are the poor called EF 50mm f / 1. .8 II, although the work generally, but provides F1. .8 Large aperture, shrink 1 to 2 files can be sharp aperture imaging, used in the APS-C SLR on shooting portraits with outstanding performance, you can easily solve the problem bokeh. Portrait shoot out with this lens, it is a good impress.Weight 130g, very lightweight. 600 $ is not expensive.
18-85 IS and 17-40/4L. Both the price close to trade-offs difficult. 18-85 of the focal lengths are ideal, from wide angle to medium coke, there are anti-shake. But the first soft, another EF-S may be short-lived. 17-40 In addition to the expense of focal lengths, all other benefits accounted for. .
With the lens choice, 300d, 350d, 20d, 30d speaking, I was so equipped of:.
Wide Angle: Tokina Tokina AT-X 124 Pro DX 12-24/4 (3900 dollars) post-shoot wide-angle Tokina good. .
Dragon (Tamron) SP AF 17-35/2. .8-4Di LD (4000) travel abuse, available in full in the future.

Macro: shima 105MM F2. EX DG MACRO .8 (2900 Yuan).
The purchase order: header 50mm / 1. .8, Telephoto 70-200mm/F4, ultra wide-angle 12-24mm, the focus 28-75/F2. .8. No good telephoto wide angle at the beginning, spend less or no money get hold of 18-55 hedge against a while to focus on good use of the header. If you buy a bad head, and back to the first, but more expensive. Newbie difficult to play ultra-wide, not recommended. I think the difficulty lies in composition. Ultra-wide perspective exaggeration, line, color, block, qualities such as composition elements of the need for balanced, PP only comfortable looking. .
Optimum configuration scenarios: 450D.
Canon17-40L + 50F1. .8 / 1. .4 + 70-200 F4. .
Canon17-85mm + 70-200 F4 。.
Canon 10-22mm + 17-40mm L (or 17-85mm) + 50mm F1. .8 / 1. .4 + 70-200mm F4. .
Tokina 12-17-40mm 24mm + L (or 17-85mm) + F1 .8/50mm. 1。.4 + 70-200mm F4 。.
Sigma 10-20mm + 17-40mm L (or 17-85mm) + 50mm F1. .8 / 1. .4 + 70-200mm F4. .
The disadvantage of the camera is relatively slow speed, suitable for tourism, daytime, photography needs. I personally started using zoom all F4 following, but now gradually replaced F2. .8. Because after all, you want to eliminate 350D on 30D or 5D sooner or later, as the start of F2. .8 on zoom.
Practice tactical one: 50mm header wide aperture. Minimal depth of field, less than the ordinary eye can see, easy to highlight the theme, to achieve results. .
Practice tactics 2: large wide angle. Ratio of ordinary people saw large and full. Perspective distortion, vision, momentum is also easy to show it.
Practical Tactics 3: telephoto. Than the ordinary eye can see far and fine, easy to ignore the performance of normal sight, a small depth of field and also highlight the theme. .
Constant-aperture lens.
"Constant aperture" This is a concept only for the zoom lens, fixed focus lens is not "constant aperture" the said. Are large aperture lens (constant F2. .8 Of the majority, a small part of the constant F4. .0), The optical quality is excellent, and the mechanical properties also have good performance, therefore, a constant aperture lens was the highest natural to the high-end symbol. On Holiday is very tempting, which 50MM, 85MM and 135mm the most popular three heads, it is recommended to buy a 50MM, slowly feeling better on the other. .
From DC to upgrade to a DSLR, 50mm/1. .8 big aperture and 70-200 for telephoto (lens vision) feels there is a qualitative leap. It is recommended that you start with these two heads into a single serious photography. Plastics quite cheap Canon header 50mmF1. Although the work generally, .8 but offers a large aperture F1., shrink .8 1 ~ 2 stalls aperture to get sharp images that are used in the shooting portraits on APS-C SLR, you can easily solve the problem of background blur, scoring for more than 4. .2! many cattle head. Single on sharpness, 50mm F1. 8 can be described as remarkable. If you take this first shoot of the photo is not sharp, look up whether to run Coke, another good use! I felt I had each person should be the first SLR to buy this head. In addition CANON those "expensive" as the first head should be the same, the lowest useful (I know I'm dreaming!) Telephoto side, do not consider cheap 70-300,80-200, beat out the effect of you may not satisfaction, especially if you used the high-quality DC. Accumulate meter directly on the 70-200/4L. .
50mm header tips: get started.
50mm DC lens and the small difference can feel great need to adapt to training. .
1. Distance of one metre to metres, near the top, far removed from the forehead is to stay out of the upper body.
2. Can be positive, be side, can look down (on the female perspective of children, particularly attractive, prominent eyelashes, single point of focus to the eyelids). .
3. Avoid strong light. Do not have the direct rays of the Sun. Window and natural light, indoor lighting (white balance) are very good. Header performance skin permeability are very charming. Absolutely do not use Flash as the skin of dead skin.
4. Focus on the eyes. Measured with a single point of focus. .
5. Is stunning and the distance to some of the background, it is possible to put the background completely fictitious.
6. Using Continuous function, grasping expression, these cities making 5-10. .
7. With the continuous shooting performance suddenly shoot, the most natural of all kinds of comparison expressions, life has value.
8. Once you find a sense of the lens, may wish to overthrow all the above, efforts to create a new camera language and visual language. .
9. Use header making landscape, it is recommended that you keep the "subtraction" principle, prefer the King or King (no wide-angle shot big bad). Use the lens language "50mm virtual" F4 or F5 .6 or blurrier. vision or blur close-range.
10 buildings with a header shot (take part), windows, street sweeping documentary, very appropriate and interesting. .
Wide angle lens:.
Recently been concerned about the wide-angle, also discussed a lot of friends, all find it hard to choose, a friend I summed up as follows:. .
Learning EF-S18-55.
Fever-type EF-S 17-55. .
Practical T17-50.
Six wide-angle love main A16 T17-35 / 2. .8-4. .
Easy-to-use EF-S17-85IS.
Conservative EF17-40L. .
Macro-S17-70.
Full-Type EF24-105. .
Burning money-EF16-35.
Ideal type EF16-85IS/L2. .8. .
Economical Tokina 19-35 cheap easy to use.
Telephoto lens:. .
Considering that you're a beginner, you should choose the common jiaoduan usually 18-200mm line, cover a wide angle and telephoto, 18-200 is a typical tourist head, 18-200 is a tad better.
Canon 18-200mm 3. .5-5. .6 IS. .
Shima 18-200mm F3. .5-6. .3 DC OS (2600 Yuan) portable.
Tamron AF18-200mm F / 3. .5-6. .3 (2,500 yuan) a mirror to survive. .
Nikkor 18-200, Nike, this header performance is very good.
After all, Canon's original proposal, there are anti-shake, because it is fresh on the market, the price of two higher than the other. Tamron Sigma are good anti-shake Sigma also very practical. 3 Original Canon lens devaluation, followed by Sigma, and finally Dragon. Sigma lenses good, good imaging Tokina Tamron AF No, color does not work, that is cheap. Nikkor 18-200 lens is a lazy world go program. In a similar lens, this first performance of the best, but great changes to overcome the shortcomings than many. Sharpness is not bad, so drastic change than to change people's prejudices. But in general still can not resist a small change compared with the best shot.Accordingly, the 200 Nikkor18-should not be serious photography. Laypeople occasionally playing a SLR, true one-time investment, D50 + 18-200 is the most interesting. The telephoto side, not considering the cheap 70-300, 80-200, takes effect, you may not be satisfactory, especially since you used high-quality DC. Accumulate enough m directly on the 70-200/4L.
