Re: Photography Thread
It uses a manual screw drive to focus. There is a little slot in the lens where on older film bodies used to have a rotating flat head that would control the auto focus.
It does not have an internal motor. Like most of the (DX series especially) lenses do these days |

Re: Photography Thread
I agree. You can still go old school and focus manually. :r the 60mm micro (macro) is nice too.

Re: Photography Thread
My buddy keeps insisting I get the 17-200 lens. I'm not sure why. He said it's the best "walk around lens".

Re: Photography Thread
what everyone else said, especially with the perspective. I NEVER use my 50mm 1.8, but you'll have to pry my 85mm 1.8 out of my cold, dead hands! 50mm on a crop body just doesnt feel right. Although oddly enough, even with my current 5D,s 50mm still doesnt feel right.....

Re: Photography Thread
The 18-200mm is a walk around lens in the way that is covers most focal lengths. You wouldn't have co change lenses while on a hike or walk or something. But there while offering an excellent range you sacrifice details and the distortion of the lens becomes annoying at times. The variable aperture is what kills iit for me. You might as well spend that 700$ on the 85.
We've had this discussion before on this psrticular lens and it is a story of comprimises. It isn't as sharp at the 70-200 but you won't miss any shots changing lenses. Even so IMO you won't notice the unsharpness unless a. You are looking for it or b. You are printing very large. Everyone has their own thoughts. |

Re: Photography Thread
actually the "lens" will be an artificial 100X Eagle eye that can see the fur on the belly of a snail.

Re: Photography Thread
