I recently purchased a Digital Rebel XTi and I already own a 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5
lens which I figure to be a good standard zoom lens for starting off.
My first question is what is the best telephoto lens that I could get for my XTi
within the price range of $300-$700? At the moment my top choice would be the EF
70-200mm f/4L usm lens. Any suggestions or past knowledge about a lens that
would be the best telephoto for the price range?
My second question is concerning the sub-frame sensor in the XTi. If I was to
use the EF 15mm fisheye lens on my camera would it fill the whole image? Or
would it create a circle.
I was also wondering what would also be the best wide angle lens from $300-$700.
I have been looking at the ef 17-35mm f/4L lens. I am looking for a very wide
angle lens because my concentration is working with landscapes. Do you think
that the 17-35mm would be very wide on the xti considering that there is the
1.6x crop factor? Or do you think that I should get the cheaper EF-S 10-22mm
f/3.5-4.5 USM?
Thank you for any help! :)
Help! New FD 50mm f/1.4 silver mount release button not coming out and locking when mounted
in Canon FD Mount
Posted
I have an AE-1 Program and recently purchased a Canon 50mm f/1.4 FDn on Ebay, however when I received the lens it doesn't seem to be snapping and locking into place when I fully twist it onto my camera (which works for all of my other FD lenses). The lens rotates to its full mounted position, yet the lens' mount release button will not come out to lock the lens in place so I'm able to rotate it back off the camera. I made a short video demonstrating the problem, and comparing it to my 28mm lens which properly locks (this was for the seller), and a second video to show the back side.
Video of the problem (50mm compared with 28mm):
Second video of the back of the lens (50mm):
Pictures here: 50mm 1.4 lens mount won't connect
I can't find any solutions for this anywhere and every part of the lens looks to be in proper shape to my eyes, except that the silver button doesn't pop out and lock when mounted. Any idea what the problem could be or how this could be remedied? Any help would be much appreciated!
