Many people (including me) will recommend saving for a lens better than the 50/1.8 ... especially if shooting multiple/active subjects. The next time I see my grand-daughter #2, I'm going to give her mine.

But for under $100 it really can't be beat. Plus it doesn't require a whole lot of saving!!

More stuff than skill

Good day for testing AI Servo with my 1100D (T3):

Was curious about how the 7D would perform with car photography. These where taken with the 55-250, photoshoot was done with other lenses too, so I will post those later.

Cars was what it got me hook with photography in the first place. I became a "birder" later.

@mansaj: moody pic! I like it.


Here're the obligatory squirrel (one of my very first with this lens, from last fall) and chipmunk (from this spring) pictures. (ok, screw the squirrel for now, I can't resize it properly...I'll post it in the squirrel thread later on).
