Or just order it from Amazon who has them in stock

u/BrainSlurper · 10 pointsr/smallbusiness

If you're learning to become a commercial photographer please for the love of fuck don't buy a powershot. That's not me being gear snobby (though some of your clients definitely will be), you won't learn much and a ton of essential skills will be essentially off limits. For $300 Buy an older used DSLR and either this lens or this lens (the latter is wider than the former)

It isn't about quality, any flagship smartphone will get you that, it's about flexibility. If the used camera bothers you, you can spend maybe $150 more and get an entry level dslr

Also, flume is great for instagram from a computer if you have a mac.

u/fatherjokes · 7 pointsr/photomarket

It's $110 on Amazon. Can't beat that with a stick.

If that's too much, check out the Yongnuo f1.8. I picked one up on eBay for $40. Amazing value. It takes great photos.

50mm is very nice for portrait-style photography on an APS-C camera--shallow depth of field with great bokeh. It can feel rather 'zoomed in', though, especially indoors. A 24mm lens is pretty versatile indoors, and the Canon STM lets you get in real close if you want. Bear in mind, you can buy a third party 50mm for only $53 if you're feeling noncommittal. I own it and it's quite nice for the price.

was the lens i used for most.

But i recently upgraded to a much more expensive lens (which isnt featured in any of these except for the butcher)

sigma 18-35

space shots were shot with a rokinon 8mm 3.5.

Id recommend either a good 35mm or a 50mm (their close, but the 50mm are usually way cheaper)

Other than that, the 17-55mm kit lenses are decent starting points for everything else.

u/bastiano-precioso · 2 pointsr/photography

Okay, here is a better list, sorry for the mess:

Flash -- around $65.

Transmitter --around $35

Light stand + umbrella + flash bracket // around $30. I got this one used for $20 on Amazon. There are different ones and with different quality.

Canon 24mm f/2.8 -- around $150

Canon 50mm f/1.8 -- around $110.

Also, Yongnuo makes their version of the 50mm ($50), the 35mm ($88) and some others. I can only vouch for the 50mm, I either got a great copy or it is just great.

u/visionsofblue · 2 pointsr/analog

Thanks!

I actually got mine brand new, many many years ago. It was the first real camera I ever actually owned, so we have a long history together. It's treated me well for a very long time and I've grown to really enjoy shooting with it.

If you're looking for a cheap EF lens I would recommend this one. It says it's for shooting digital, but I use it for both.

u/Aperson3334 · 2 pointsr/photography

Besides the closer minimum focal distance, is there any reason to buy this lens over this one?

Found a few YouTube reviews that said it was a better lens

u/madsfilms · 1 pointr/videography

From reading the other comments I'm guessing you don't so I would either get a used camera or use your phone. The budget of yours is quite limiting to fit in audio, lighting and a decent camera however it may work if you get a slightly older camera.

I would get the t3i body only which you can get at an average of $300. This has an articulating screen, good for interviews, and is still a good beginner camera years on from when it was released. The lens I would get is the YONGYUO YN50mm f.18 which is an cheap autofocus lens at a fixed distance to achieve the best quality.

For microphones I would reccommend the Takstar SGC-598 which is really cheap and surprisingly good. You can put this on a mic stand and get it as close to both the interviewer and the interviewee for the best sound. You will then need a wire to connect it to the camera. However if you have extra money you can save up for a Zoom h1 which you plug the mic into and it records seperately for better audio.

All in all this kit will cost you $500 for just the audio and no lighting. This would cost you about $50 extra for softboxes however if you shoot in daylight it will be much easier and require less lighting.

Another kit you could try is using your phone for video and then buying just audio and lighting. For this I would get the Rode Videomic Pro, the Zoom h1, a mic stand, a softbox lighting kit (2 lights) and any other things like memory cards etc. This would cost you around $400.

u/jollybumpkin - the least expensive native EF lenses you can buy are probably the $45.79 Yongnuo 50mm f/1.8 and the $86.70 Yongnuo 35mm f/2.

Here are a few examples shot with Yongnuo glass and Canon DSLRs:

u/wyndhamheart · 1 pointr/canon

I used a cheap 50mm to get this photo last weekend that's similar

This $45 one to be exact: Yongnuo 50mm

You really need to define "something cheap" for this crowd.

For example the 70-200 F4L is described as "cheap" (and it totally is cheap.... relatively), but $600 for a lens ($470ish used) if the $300 body is a stretch may not seem "cheap" to you.

As other's have said the 50mm is your best bang for buck. If every $$ is critical you may save an a bit on a used older MK II version which isn't as good or as quiet but on the 5D may be just as fine. If you want to go really cheap YONGNUO has a 50mm F1.8 for $50 new. Going with a name like Yongnuo can be scary (compared to canon) but the 50mm (unlike the other yongnuo knock offs) gets good reviews by users on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QEXM4YC/

If you want some more flexibility, a bit more reach, and a cheap price, something like the much derided, gets no respect, 70-300 can be had for $100ish used/refurbished or you can get tamron/sigma version for $100-$200. You'll get the flexibility of a zoom and you can get some decent pictures (in good light) with the 5D.

Other lens to consider are the 85mm F1.8 ($350ish new) and the 100mm F2.8 USM ($600 new but $300ish used). These may be a bit better for traditional portraits as the 50mm is a bit wide for that use. Like the 50mm they both deliver a lot of bang for the $$.

Unfortunately on the wide end it's a bit more challenging: The 40mm is not much wider than the 50 and goes for $200ish. Even at that price and the slower speed it's a fine alternative to the 50mm . The old version of the 35mm/F2 still goes for $200 used as does the 24mm F2.8. YONGNUO has a 35mm F2 knockoff that sells for $90 but reviews are fairly meh. For a wide/normal zoom the 28-70 F35-45 for $100ish is probably the best bang for your buck but here are a slew of other options in that range (35-80, 30-80 etc) that may be worth researching:
http://www.opticallimits.com/Reviews/187-canon-ef-28-70mm-f35-45-ii-test-report--review

Consider adding a flash to your kit. The low-light AF/performance on the 5D is abysmal but with a flash equipped with an AF assist lamp/beam it improves greatly. I use a 580EX (Version 1 sells used for $100ish) but there are some 3rd party knock offs that may work just as well for a few less $$. The 580EX AF asssit lamp is really.... gentle. It paints your target with faint red stripes that are so great compared to the blinding white light or blinding strobe used for AF assist on other cameras.

The 5D is fun but it can be really challenging. One thing I did not realize when I first started using the camera is that there are two different "on" positions and the camera behaves differently depending on which one is selected. I was driving myself crazy, thinking I had a defective model "It just worked a few minutes ago!"

Also check on the status of the mirror repair for the 5D you are buying. It's a known issue and if it has not been repaired using the original canon repair kit (no longer available) it may fail. Mine failed after a month and the vendor fixed it but for me and since then has been fine. (knock on wood) but as it's not the genuine canon repair with the re-enforced mount I figure it will fail again, hopefully not before I get my $300 worth out of the camera.

This is $50, with an 80mm equivalent on a crop. You can get some good results from it.

u/thechauchy · 1 pointr/AskPhotography

Ya so the the blurry backgrounds are basically products of really wide apertures on a camera lense, and it really is all about the lense in this regard.

With your camera you can't change lenses and that's gonna be the main issue. Your camera only goes to f/4.5 which is a very common limit. However to get the shots you want you would need to have a DSLR body and a prime lense that brings your aperture down to *f/1.8 or something similar.

You can buy full cameras with built in lenses that are not interchangeable and even compact with something like an f/1.8 range. But they tend to be a little more expensive and limit lense options obviously. This is really cool though Fujifilm X100 12.3 MP APS-C CMOS EXR Digital Camera with 23mm Fujinon Lens and 2.8-Inch LCD https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0043RS864/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_UQabAbVMM6FZN

My suggestions.
1.) For now the best thing you can do on your gear is take photos from father away from your subjects. If you can access manual settings make sure your aperture is as low as the number will go. (that may mean compensation with shutterspeed or ISO) Google it.
2.) Go on eBay or Craigslist and pick up an older Canon or Nikon DSLR body. I sometimes see old D60s for like $60 online and sometimes they come with a lense. But you really don't want the lense that comes with the camera anyways so don't worry about getting them together. Once you find a body, go online again and buy a prime lense with a 1.8 aperture. This guy isn't the best lense ever. But it ain't bad. $50

And thats how you go pro with under $150.

You mean the aperture? Why is that?

And no not temperature, it feels like it's getting jarred slightly and i'm just surprised that it would be that easy for it to change the focus like there should be more resistance, I'm thinking

And it's this lens: https://www.amazon.com/YONGNUO-YN50mm-Standard-Aperture-Canon/dp/B00QEXM4YC Yongnuo 50mm f1.8, maybe this should teach me not to buy an off-brand lens?
