Yeah, I've already got it. Rebel T4i. So everything is building from there.

Since it isn't a primary hobby, I'm not looking to change ships right now so good or bad, it's what I'm working with.

Or not, because I aint' got time for that.

Yeah, me too. But because I've been intimidated with getting a second lens. It's all foreign right now and I haven't the time to jump in and start figuring things out. I tend to get all obsessive about things and just can't afford to do that with photography right now.

I'll check out some 50/1.8s though. Sounds like a good next step.

Sell the kit lens, such shit.

50mm 1.8 canon for 100 bucks is a great first prime lens.

then you can jump to something like a 17-55 for a great workhorse lens (that will fit full frame cameras). Stick with EF yes. THe EF-S lens i have is the 10-22. If I ever go full frame, I'll sell it and get a 8-15 or something..

13 seconds if I wrap an elastic band around the base of the shaft, and another around the ball sack.

Well that's what condoms are for man! It's really hard to get your balls in it, but once it's done it keeps you up if you know what I mean.

Majofo,the 16mm 2.8 pancake lens is a good cheap lens.

It's equivalent to 24mm on a full frame camera.

I use it a lot with my Nex-6 (generation before a6000)

The canon 17-55 2.8 IS is an EF-S. I know because I had one, it won't work with full frame.

Well I normally have to tuck my balls in the condom anyway, otherwise it just falls off. I swear, it's like condoms are made for giants, or something.

Umm. I think you converted wrong. 25 megameters is 82,020,997 feet 4½ inches.

Which seems large.

Light colors?

Dark usually absorbs the energy better and will cut. Light needs moar powa.

So I'm fairly new here, and have a question about my TL-S. Everytime I try to get in/out of the car, the damn door closes back on my leg. Is there a part known to go bad over time that will cause this, or is it something just have to get familiar with?
