Gift One: This lens. I want it I have just the kit lens and I really want an OK telephoto. This one is really nice for the price from what I've seen.
Off this list
Gift Two: This. Same WL I just don't want a neck strap and this is cheap :)
C'mon...gimme
Also, Damn gurl! You look nice today!
I have a cheap UV filter I bought just basically to protect the lens. It is by Tiffen. The lens was a Cannon EF75-300mm 1:4-5.6 III. It is an ok lens and serves its purpose for me as a beginner to DSLR photography.
I bought this camera two years ago and have loved it. Feel free to ask me any questions about it.
Lowest price the 60D has ever been, probably because of the recent release of its successor, the 70D. Check out this page for more information on the lens bundle deals

Hey welcome to the sub-reddit, can you give some more information on what you want to do with the photos that you will take? Will you go on to sell them or are they to be printed out for family members etc.
If this is just for a hobby or to get some nice pictures you can go with a cheaper camera/setup.
I have the Canon 1100D and have used it in a wide range of situations and it's been perfect for what I wanted.
Paired with this lens you can get some cracking shots from a great distance away.
If you are shooting cars I assume they will be going fast, the 1100D does a great job of freezing them while keeping all the detail. This is an image I shot of a multi-copter which has blades that spin way faster then a real helicopter but it makes them appear frozen.
Also paired with that lens you can do some awesome long distance shots which may be perfect for landscape shot from afar.
The stock lens isn't the best in the world but if you just starting out and don't plan on selling your photos it's fine. You get some barrel distortion which is noticeable when taking texture shots.
Hello r/photography!
I recently saved up enough money to buy my first serious camera. This Cannon EOS Rebel T3 caught my attention and I keep reading in the reviews that it is an excellent entry level camera. Is that a true statement? I would be willing to shell out some extra money for this T3i if it would be a better buy.
This Cannon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 or this Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 seem like good lenses to go along with them, but are they too much to soon?
Again, this would be my first major camera purchase. Would this be a solid purchase or is there another cheaper camera that would be just as good?
>Just a bit over the top there. If you have the money, drive a Ferrari, but that doesn't mean that no one ought to ever drive a Corrola. They are not ideal cars, but they can get you around town.
Well, that's only because it's just a joke :) To take it further, you're using a poor analogy, I'm not telling him to buy a 70-200 f2.8 (Ferrari), I'm telling him the 75-300 (Chevy Cobalt) is not worth using when he has the 55-250 (Corolla) [not anything against chevy or for toyota, the cobalt was just a shitty car, like the 75-300 is a shitty lens], the cropped 250 should have just as much detail as the uncropped 300 between those two. I had a 75-300 when I started out, too, it was shittily built, and it literally wobbled in the middle. At least the 55-250 IS has IS.
Further, regarding,
>The 75-300 is a fine lens for the price point.
I disagree, the lens is barely cheaper than the 55-250, at best about $40, and lacks IS, is worse construction, and worse optics, it's not worth buying when the 55-250 IS II is right there in reach :P
Edit again: Citing References just to take this way too far: $140 US vs the 55-250 IS II for $180
I would by a buy a body (canon) and an entry level telephoto 75-300mm usm. I would start out cheap like I did and then buy better lens once you get a hang of it. Here is some pictures I have taken so far with that lens: photos
Lens one, two, and three. Two came with the package when I bought the camera as a deal at Best Buy, the other one (the 18-55) I bought used off of Amazon. 85% of the time I just use the 18-135mm anyway.
> 75-300 is complete garbage
I have it, like it. I'm not the only one, 796 reviews on amazon, 4.5 out of 5 stars and 61% of the 700+ reviews on amazon are 5 star:

But those are actual users versus pixel peepers.
Here's 9000+ pictures from some more users:

I also own the 55-250 which is definitely a sharper lens but.....
But as with most "kit" quality lenses you need to work with it for decent IQ.
But that's 1/2 the fun isn't it?
Hello all,
I have some Lens questions.
I recently bought a new camera Sony Ax 6000. The kit came with a E 3.5-5.6 16-50mm lens and E 4.5-6.3 55-210mm lens. I'm trying to find out if I can use my old lenses from my Dads Canon. From my understanding they are a lot better then the Sony lenses I currently have. Is there some conversion kit I can pick up or is it not worth it and I should just buy better Sony lenses. Or since the old camera is a dslr those lenses wont work on a mirror less?
It is an EOS 20D Canon.

Really appreciate the help. Thank You
Uno de estos :O
Difference between these 2 lenses? Would the 75 - 300mm be a good beginner zoom lense or is there something out there for about $300 that is better?

A 75-300 4-5.6 costs around $150.
I got a "deal" at Target where I got the Canon 75-300 mm telephoto for $100 when I bought my body. I've seen other people say it doesn't have great optics, but come on it's $100. It takes decent quality pictures if you know how to operate your camera. There is no built-in IS though, so either shoot during the day or use a tripod.
Honestly, 99/100 of the pictures I take are with the kit lens and I'd recommend on holding off for now unless you're doing sport or nature photography.
As for figuring out how "far away" you can see, try reading through the Photoclass that was on reddit a few months ago. It's got some great information about what focal length means in terms of images.
Haha you're right, it can be overwhelming. You should be warned that photography equipment can get pretty damn expensive. This is the lens I have, it goes for $200 but like I said I got a deal on it. $200 may sound expensive for just a lens but it really is the low end of the spectrum.
You may also be interested in this link, which shows you what different focal lengths do to a shot.
Edit: It should also be noted that the T3i has a crop sensor, so focal length values are skewed slightly, but that's next-level shit and you can read up on that on your own if interested.
I would head to my number one vacation spot that I have wanted to go to. Alaska. I would look to rent a cabin in the woods somewhere very dark so I can enjoy the stars and the silence. Something with a campfire pit, water close by to go fishing, hopefully a dock and a row boat, and maybe a hammock. Do some bird watching, nature walking, take piles of photos, roast marshmallows. Just get away from people, away from technology, and just relax. Of course, I would have to bring my wife. As much as I would like to bring my kids I think I would see if they could stay at my parents house. just some alone time for my wife and I to lay under the stars together.
I would bring this Lens for my camera. I would want to get the best pictures I can and sometimes that always is't possible with a regular lens.
Hey!
New-ish hobbyist here. For a tele lens, I'm currently using an old Vivitar 80-200 from the 80's adapted onto my Canon T3. Inherited it, and I'm having a ton of fun with it.
Only thing is, when it comes to wildlife photography (particularly birds), I always find I'm lacking a bit of range, and the lack of autofocus is particularly noticeable. I found a bird park of sorts nearby that I really want to take advantage of, but I'm somewhat lacking in funds right now.
I've been keeping an eye on the Canon EF 75-300 4-5.6 III on Amazon.ca (I'm in Canada), and it's dropped in price by 10% since I've been following it. I know it's the cheapest of the Canon tele lenses, but... thoughts?
Should I wait for it to be cheaper? Is it an okay lens? Or should I try another brand of lenses instead?
Last thing I want is something that I'll grow out of quite soon, so I want to make sure I'm making the right purchase.
This is not the best lens out there, but for the price I have always gotten great results. It's a good low budget option for a telephoto zoom lens.
