Finally Made The Move To A D-SLR (PIC - BOOBS)
 

We've been using the Sony P&S cameras (707/717/828) since we started NaughtyAllie but finally made the move to a D-SLR. A question for the photographers out there: Is this a good starting package for content? I guess I probably should have asked this question before getting it.

Looks like a good 'starter' package to me. Best of luck. :)

I was really hoping to see Jake's boobs for a change of pace.

sweet equipment :)

nice gadget...

Really awesome Jake. The EOS is an incredible camera.

very nice

I've got a boner and I don't know what's causing it...the camera or the boobs.

You really don't want to see Jake's boobs. TRUST ME!

Thanks Easton, I actually went in to get the 1Ds but they didn't have any in stock. When the guy asked me what I would be using the camera for I told him that I'd be taking naked photos of my wife. He said he thought the 1Ds would be "a bit of an overkill for such purposes". I think he just wanted to make a sale vs taking the chance that when I came back for a 1Ds someone else would pick up the commission instead. :winkwink:

the 20d is an excellent choice - i just predict you will soon wish to have one lens that covers full body shots as well as closeups without running around or changing them. :2 cents:

You asked for it :winkwink: :

yeah.. you could've just gone with a 17-88mm and saved time in switching lenses .... good setup though :thumbsup

What lens do you recommend for that?

Which lens would that be?

Player hater! Did you get those spinners hooked up on your Escalade yet?

Looks good to me. I went with the 20D too.

Precisely why I should have asked this question before buying this stuff! So what what lens would be best suited for both close-ups and full body shots? And does it come in the "L" series?

My recommendation is to throw down for a fixed 50mm lens...

Like the 50mm 1.4 or 1.8

I use the 50mm 1.4D Nikkor for most of my shoots and its just a stunning lens... super sharp...

You've got a great setup with the L lenses... esp the 2.8 Zoom... thats just a dope a lens...

I would round it off with the 50mm...

If you'd like to see samples, just holler.

Jake,

I shot Allie as well with my EOS, but she was with another guy.

Poppy wanted to see her O Face.

jake: nice equipment! we just bought a digital rebel xt w/28-135mm lens and the extra flash but we're still babies learning how to use it. :P

allie: NICE equipment :winkwink:

can we keep this thread going for more pics of allie please? ok, thank you! :thumbsup

That is just a normal lense though, doesn't that come in the box he has?

Plus he has a wide angle past the normal.

When Madalton said no changing, I thought he meant something that ranged from normal to say, 200....

You know chicks dig guys with the EOS! :)

ha, if i only knew...

we work with the 24-70 from Canon as well, but for the pinkshots you always have to crawl towards the model.

we recently tested the last weeks a Sigma 18-200 - for the zoom it was excellent, exactly what we wanted. but a lot of pics were suddenly blurry and in the corners the pics were a bit distorted. overall the comfort was not worth the loss in quality. so we are looking for another one now...

I see. I sometimes get lazy at shows and try to leave my Canon USM 70 - 300 on, but man, it is tough to take closer photos with it. You have to step back a lot. The normal lens that Canon provided me with when I bought my EOS is damn good. I use it a lot.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ :winkwink:

There is nothing "normal" about the 50mm lens.

You can have all the zoom lenses you want, but the 50mm lens will consitently produce sharper images between F/5 and F/8 over the L lenses he has because its a prime lens. (plus it's a low light lens with the 1.4D, making it a lot faster than the wide angle and medium zoom he has) which would be good for hotel shoots.

His wide angle is a great lens.

If he was to get anything else, besides the 50mm, I would say the 70-200 2.8. But you tell me if he wants to throw down more than 1500 for the best tele zoom on the market?

I don't mind crawling closer to the model for the pinkshots, that's part of the fun! :winkwink:

That shit sucks. You need to give it to me and I will get rid of it for you.

the 70-300 is a heavy fucker - no need to workout anymore :1orglaugh

trying to hit u up :)

in this case you will have a lot of fun with that lens - the optical quality is excellent :winkwink:

This is one of my favorite pics!

Forgive me, as I am no expert, but isn't he already getting 50mm?

I have the Canon 70 - 300, USM, but it lacks the IS like the one you listed shows. To be honest, I am not paying that much for a lense right now. Do you have one? Do you think it is worth it?

I spent a lot of money on a Manfrotto tripod / head set up instead.

That looks great.

I hiked on the 4th of July with that lense, the normal lense, and the tripod. My back was really sore that night.

because you get the 50mm between the 24-70mm doesn't mean the aperature blades are gonna be the same when you shoot.

There is a reason why they make prime lenses instead of just having everything zoom, trust me... You'd love the 50mm. I can shoot day in day out and not change a thing...

I do not have the Canon lens I listed above because I'm a Nikon guy.

I will be purchasing a 70-200 2.8 ED VR IF-S Nikkor Zoom in the next 2 weeks though, everyone is out of stock.
