So I just ordered a Canon EOS Rebel T3i 18 MP DSLR Camera with EF-S 18-55 mm IS II lens and EF-S 55-250 mm f/4-5.6 IS telephoto lens. I also ordered the EF 100 mm f/2.8 Macro USM Lens.
Any serious on point help on using the camera and starting lenses would be greatly appreciated.
I may use the camera for more than just aquarium photography in the future and will consider a greater variety of less general use lenses at that time.
I use that macro lens at work and it's a great lens. I need to get my hands on a macro lens for my own personal use and this is the lens I am going to get when the time comes
So as I am likely to do I have gone crazy with the new hobby. I have purchased a 50 f/1.4, a 10-22 f/3.5-4.5, a 17-55 f/2.8 and a 70-300 f/4-5.6. I really love the two faster lenses and am learning the capabilities of the other two. I am really starting to see the possibilities with the 10-22 and the tele zoom works very similar to the kit tele zoom just with better quality and range.
It looks good, the camera did a good job on the video! It was nice to see the video because I normally don't see any fish in your tank unless I look really hard, that black triangle on their tails it perfect camo looking just like a leaf shadow.
For some reason I don't like DSLR's with video, I like the hard core M,S,A,P options without the 18 or 24 options of fireworks, active, portrait, etc. but every one is doing it now and the quality is good. I also like your camera it's a big bang for the buck, 18mp, video, etc. I would probably put on the 50 mm f1.4 and never take it off if it's a sharp lens.
It is a great lens, the 17-55 2.8 looks to be the one that will get the most use.
Thanks on the tank. The video came out real nice. Black and red fish do not show up well in my tank that is for sure.
