http://www.robnunnphoto.com The EF 50mm f/1.8 belongs in the camera bag of every Canon photographer – it’s Canon’s cheapest lens, yet this great little prime offers sharp images, great low-light capability and fantastic selective focus options.
The 50mm is more like the 35mm equivalent of an 80mm on a crop sensor camera, it’s slightly telephoto, so you’ll find yourself moving back a little if you’re into landscapes – but it’s a great portrait focal length.
Build quality isn’t the best – but what do you expect for £100? Get one, stick it on your camera and have some fun.
Canon EOS 550D Digital SLR Camera – Part 4 – The Review. Yes, this is the video you have all been waiting for… the main review. Here I take a good look at the camera including photos and video footage taken with the 550D.

I bought it and used it for ONE weekend and then sent it back,
I now have the SONY DCR SR290E which I will get a comparison done soon, so PLEASE do not message me asking about the features of this as I wouldn’t know, thank you
A couple of side by side videos showing the comparison between a MiniDV and a Digital Camdorder
The first clip is from the MiniDV Sony DCR-HC27E and the second is from the Canon FS100, which stores the image on an SD Card

The Helios 135mm f/2.8 offers a fixed focal length (no zoom), so you’ve got to move your feet to recompose or change the framing of your photographs – not a bad thing when it comes to expanding your artistic vision.
M42 lenses need an M42 – EF lens mount adapter, available on eBay for a few pounds, you’ve got to focus manually, but they’re perfectly usable.
http://www.robnunnphoto.com I have to admit I was a little sceptical about using this lens at first – I’ve never been that successful with long telephoto zooms.
http://live.pirillo.com – I am a fan of the Canon Digital Cameras, but not such a fan of their software. Whappo sent me an email to let me know about an open-source program called CHDK, which can be used to update the software for your Digital Camera.
http://www.robnunnphoto.com Another lens I bought from eBay a few months ago. The Canon EF 28mm f/2.8 is a prime lens, which means there’s no zoom, but it offers great image quality and a pretty fast (wide) aperture for a bargain price.
Offering about the equivalent of a 45mm lens on a crop sensor dSLR like my 350d / Rebel XT, it’s great for landscapes or portraits where you need that extra angle of view.
Watch out for some barrel distortion at the edges, but overall I love this lens, and it’s the one that I always leave on my camera.
