50mm f1.8 is super useful. Zoom with your feet.
Originally posted by flyboyx View Posti can't remember if that camera is full frame or crop sensor. if its full frame, the lenses are going to be relatively pricey.
i don't know your budget but if you can afford the latest iteration of the rebel with a 18-250 sigma zoom, you would probably be a lot better off.
Generally superzooms like the 18-250 are optically very poor, even the best of them are worse than your average mid-range prime. They're soft, full of distortion and focus breathing, have terrible "micro-contrast" and, worst of all, are slow. My (arguably) most versatile lens (Nikon 18-200mm VR) is the lens I use the least because my images just look worse with it. Even my $120 35mm f1.8 (my DSLR is a crop body) produces better looking images, and it gives me far more control over depth of field.

A lot of yes and no, depends in that up there..... foot zoom yes, that's fine, sometimes not practical, in a room cant get further away for a group shot, landscape can't get closer due to terrain. Better noise performance, likely yes at is 200 and down, those old sensors dont like the power turned up on them at all, and the new senors in even the rebels is going to produce better low light high iso results.
As to zooms in general your right, but the white canon 70-200 is one of the sharpest, and distortion free hunks of glass on the market, rivaling most mid and upper end primes in iq. Build quality on old 5d is going to be far superior to a new rebel. Your 18-200 is mid level consumer glass, and of course it's going to look wishy/washy compared to a decent prime. Get your slef a 70-200 f2.8 low ed and 24-70 low ed and get back to me on those thoughts. Trade off is cost and those better lense elements are much heavierLast edited by mrsleeve; 03-25-2017, 07:49 AM.Originally posted by FusionIf a car is the epitome of freedom, than an electric car is house arrest with your wife titty fucking your next door neighbor.

I also said in general
Nothing I said is "yes and no" it's all factual and that which I am not sure of or is opinion I qualified. There are situations where zooms are more convenient, and I have a few for that reason, but superzooms are so bad optically that you're better off giving up the long end and going with a standard length zoom of better quality. The long end of the 18-250 I am replying to a comment about or any superzoom is of very limited usefulness because it'll be slow and soft.Last edited by varg; 03-25-2017, 07:58 AM.

I always laugh every time I hear someone say that a 50mm prime is a versatile lens. I'll let you in on a little secret: that's the shit photography instructors have been telling students for years because they don't have the money to buy anything better. I know this because I taught photography at the community college for a few years. If you want to carry 6 or 8 lenses around with you in a 40 lb. backpack, by all means.....go to town! I suggest the equipment I mentioned above because it is light and portable-oh wait.....I already said that.
Enjoy your collection of prime lenses. They are great. They take tack sharp photos. I have several of them too. There is no way in hell that I am going to bother carrying them around with me though. Fuck that.sigpic

Those lenses are indeed a compromise. They are not as sharp as prime lenses. That's pretty much the same as saying shit stinks or wood floats.
I noticed from this little bit alone that you must not have read a word of my post thoroughly too since I very clearly and repeatedly said superzoom lenses are optically crap, not "all zoom lenses"

Or, you know, start a P&R thread on which lenses/bodies/sensors are best.

Taken with my cheap tablet and a potato super zoom lens, low evening lighting.
Always said "I would never buy one of those expensive tool boxes" but got a killer deal on it slightly used (paid less than "sold" eBay ads :)) has the SS worktop and locking riser cabinet. Came off the truck, so has the factory warranty.
