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..

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?
