The 24 is very sharp, the 50 not so much. I don't do a lot with video, but the problem with these lenses is no stabilisation..Enigma wrote:That fixed 50mm and 24mm must be super sharp lenses, especially for video.
I have pretty much the same setup, love my d90 but want more resolution and slightly better sensor for long exposures.Boognish wrote:Got a Nikon D90, my favourite lens to use in the 50 mm f1.8. Also got the 18-105 mm kit lens and a 70-300mm.
Need to save the $$ for a good wide angle lens

I'm surprised that the trees aren't fully blurred or something.Boognish wrote:Hey hawkeye...a good option for long exposures (by this I mean minutes or hours) to get an intervalometer (say something like this http://www.d-d-photographics.com.au/pro ... 52d36.html) and then take multiple 15s exposures,then use a image stacking program such as startrails (see below) to make one photo

This was my first attempt at star trails and it was a full moon so there was a lot of light pollution but came out ok....I need to try again when they sky is dark
I'm considering upgrading to a 7d actually. How have you found it?mpi wrote:I got me a 7d a few weeks back. Also got a 50mm f1.8 though I still mostly use my 10-22mm for urbex stuff. I'm getting a 70-300mm IS L in a few weeks for wildlife too
I love it man - upgrading from the 1100d goes without saying. But honestly, I try to take this thing with me everywhere. I also shoot nature photography so a cropped sensor is a no-brainer for me. Due to this I'll not being going full frame any time in the foreseeable future. Getting that extra 1.6x out of every lens is very useful, particularly for birding etc. If I was only interested in urbex, architecture or portraits etc. I think I would have waited and saved up for a 5d mk III. Then again, the 10-22mm on the 7d gives me more than enough field of view for even the tightest spaces.d0dg3r wrote:I'm considering upgrading to a 7d actually.

Yeah the 50mm on a crop body is probably too long for most urbex photography.

Yeah I'd say that's what happened, I just put the filter on and couldn't get it off. After taking it to the camera shop they said the only thing they could do was smash the filter.Midget wrote:Did the threads bend or something?Urbane wrote:I'm currently using a Nikon D5100 with the standard twin lens kit as well as a 35mm 1.8 lens, though I did manage to get a 10 stop ND filter stuck on it so its now only good for day time long exposures.
Well if it means you can put other filters on again, why didn't you? I'm sure a 10 stop ND doesn't cost THAT much right?Urbane wrote:Yeah I'd say that's what happened, I just put the filter on and couldn't get it off.
