On the night photos, this was the first time I was extensively taking bus pics and the general scene @ Times Square at night. I'm amazed with the camera's capabilities. Now if only I can get a corrector lens ........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realizm Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share #9 Posted August 2, 2013 A corrector lens? What for? I'm having problems taking pics from distances on the zoom, a drawback with DSLR cameras where the user has to switch lenses for the effect the photographer wants, I was told. There is a zoom function on my camera but it only goes as far as 50x, hence the need for the additional lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHV9218 Posted August 2, 2013 Share #10 Posted August 2, 2013 What do you mean by problems? Is the image foggy or out of focus? As for an additional lens, a new lens or a "corrector lens"? Those are two very different things. I assume your camera came with an 18-55mm kit lens, right? If you need zoom capability, you can buy a 55-200mm for a cheap addition, only you'll have to swap it on and off. Or, you can do what I do (and many others do) and use a single lens capable of a wide angle and telephoto (zoom) -- that would mean buying an 18-200mm. You could do that through Canon, or use Sigma (my lens) or Tamron for a budget alternative. I roll with a Sigma 18-200mm, a Nikkor 35mm 1.8, a Sigma 18-50mm 2.8, and a Nikkor 18-55mm.

OK I'm going to research this later and see how this hurts my bank account then lol. On the zoom yeah out of focus, that's the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realizm Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share #13 Posted August 2, 2013 OK might have to order it online for savings after I can roll out my loans for tuitions since I'm paying rent and utilities at my place as well as internet, cable and wireless when I'm accessing the site away from home, say when at work providing IT consultation services. I figured so, shit......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHV9218 Posted August 2, 2013 Share #14 Posted August 2, 2013 Whatever you can do, it's a pricey hobby! I haven't bought a new lens in years, just costs a lot of money. I tend to make it a rule of thumb to not spend more on my gear than I get paid for things I use it for (shooting events, YouTube, etc.). I always order online as well, often some pretty decent deals on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
