On the list to buy as funds permit:
Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM lens: the wide f-stop provides a narrow depth of field and nice bokeh that is reportedly excellent for portraiture, and this combined with the small size and light weight makes it a positively reviewed lens for street photography. It is close to the 50mm f/1.2L USM, except that its about 1/4 the price of the luxury series… and do I really need that extra 0.2 f-stop? Granted, the L-series lenses seem to have a lot of plusses over the normal EF and EF-S lenses (e.g. build quality, glass quality, etc), but I really can’t afford it and probably wouldn’t notice the image difference at this stage anyway.
Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro lens: for all the fun macro stuff, this seems to be a medium price, good quality pick.
Canon Rebel K2 film SLR camera body: At $134 new and about $40 on Ebay, this is almost too good to pass up. Though digital will probably remain primary, this could become an interesting side adventure. Currently the high bidder! The best part… it fits all my XTi lenses, as they both have the EF mount.
Anyone know anything about these items?
