I have the Canon 5D MarklL and Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM Lens. I do both portraits and candid shots and am trying to decide what other lenses to purchase.
I have a Sony a330, which I got in order to still use my old film Minolta lenses with. I’m big on shooting animals – my cats and dog, and especially horses at a ranch I visit. I’ve gotten amazing action shots of the horses and as young as one day old foals running for the first time. I found out real quick while my lenses are great for outdoor, the aperature does not go low enough for indoor arena shots (I attempted to work a horse show and probably a third were really good where on my outside shots its more like 95%). So I dropped in a Wolf’s Camera and picked up a 50 mm f/1.8 lens and what a difference! I’m now on the lookout for two things – a longer low aperature lens (100-200 mm, 100 will do) which is way out of my price range so far, and a great all purpose point and shoot, which I found where Sony has come out with an 18.2 megapixel 30xdigital that will get me some great indoor shots with its f/2.8 and the long range zoom will allow me to capture the horses way out in the fields as well as photographing other nature objects. That one is not out of my price range so just waiting on the tax refund to order it since I haven’t found one around town to test out. It also has many great features and being a Sony user much of the controls are second nature to me, plus I’ll have 1080p video recording. I was thinking of looking at a Nikon before finding the new Sony. Thanks for all the great tips! I’m still an amateur with a great natural instinct for certain subject matters – it’s art for me so the tips I get for things like lens flare are awesome! I love using my camera to paint the perfect picture.
