FLASH FLASH FLASH ..  most important ..

Period!!!

L plate ??

NO NEED ..  not for NEW user at all ..

I have 2 ..  I DON'T use them now at all ..  $250 a piece ..  but added weight ...   bluh bluh bluh ..

Only goood thing about those RRS plate ..  is scratch resist .. lol

After the RRS plate, you need to buy a nice ball head ..  etc ..  ( say another $200 )  and then tripod ..  another $300 ..   so ..  like $800 EXTRA stuff ...  which is basically useless for you ....  

get a camera, play it with kit lens, and a 50mm prime lens first, then add flash ...  tripod ..  filter or not on kit lens, doesn't matter ..   

After you play the DSLR for a little while .. if you find yourself really into it, then sit down, and think about, are you more into the "HOTO"graphy part ..  or photoSHOP part ..   then go to take a course or buy some book to read and learn ..  ( dont just go forum and learn from those C hing .. )   

If you find yourself are into the PHOTOgraphy part, then you can start to spend more money on gears....  

Or we can suggest you to buy all the fancy gears now, then after a while, you get bored .. then sell to us cheap ..  lol

而家啲閃燈幾乎都係全自動…唔係廠燈會唔會有啲咩FUNCTION 用唔倒而要用手動？

分段入市…三支鏡…暫時只係要三支鏡…
24-105mm f/4 kit lens
16-35mm
70-200mm f/4
一年一支…呵呵呵呵… ...

一年一支 ???  how can u perdict what happen and what to buy in 3 yr ??

Even if you say you are planing to buy something in Christmas, still 7 weeks too go .. WAY WAY WAY too early to think now ..  

Unless you are going to buy something next day or two, or next week ..  otherwise ....

Just like I am not rushing to think what car to buy for my grand son now ..

50mm x 1.6 = 80mm
31.25mm x 1.6 = 50mm

which focal length is the prime lens for DSLR (non-fullframe)?

FOCAL length is NOT any lens at all ..   it is a measurement ..  

Just like ..   6 inch .  7 inch ..   which is a Banana ?  they both not banana, they both are the measurement for LENGTH ...   

A lens with fixed focal length ..  is Prime lens ..  doesn't matter LF  MF   FF   APS  or APC  whatever format ...

Just go chapter, buy a whatever photography book .. etc ..  for just $15 or so ..

三年內 ....   stock market may go back to 35000 pt ..  or down to 8000 pt lei ..

Who knows ?   lol

Catpiano

Any ..  who cares about body ?

Not talking about "專業"   even my little brother .. when he was 16 .. he knew LENS  etc are way more important then body la...

body is just $3K (5DII)  but lens? easy for extra $20K plus ..  in order to perform the 22MP sensor ...

By the way .. other LYK replied this :

" my plan is.... drive Versa... and then upgrade the rim and exhause pipe in 3 years... "

(but he doesn't want to use his user name to reply wor .. lol)

WAH ..  how can u hv so many choice ??  

take off 14mmL la.. it is not a lens for newbie .. period ..  

So 16-35 , 24-105 and 70-200 F2.8 IS  are good .. but $5K there already .. which is ok .. but that is a waste for new user.


定係支1.8 既質地真係差 ??    If you think that way ...  then ..      50mm F1.8 is probably better then 24-105 in quality ..  

50F1.8 with flash .. can take WAY nicer pic with MUCH more expensive lens ..  in general.

Don't bother too much, get the 5DII + Kit lens .. and 580EX II first ..   may be in 2 month .. you will be bored .. and many lens coming in 3 yrs anyway.

Go FM or DP for some research la..  dont go HK forum ..   or u will be one of those C hing ..  lol

(I hv those lens about, but 50.8 MKII, so I guess my comment should be fair)


( Ar Lik .. where are you? we need you ! lol )
