About Kit Lens / WHAT WILL YOU RECOMMEND AFTER YOUR KIT LENS? *merged*

[damiel]

i used my kit lens for almost 2 years.

pinalitan ko kase sa tingin ko na maximize ko na yung potential na eh.
nagiging masakit na sa ulo yung palaging nasisira yung autofocus.
misyado nang mababa yung IQ niya sa camera na ginagamit ko
Mabagal na yung autofocus for me.
Maikli na yung range
Magiging useless yung weather sealing ng camera ko pag ito pa yung ginamit ko
Too plastic na yung build

sir ano po ba yung cam nyo?

[tejadster]

sir ano po ba yung cam nyo?

Canon 7D

[MayhemKid]

ako sir medyo namamaximize ko na yung kitlens ko, im using it for landscape and macro. ok naman sya for me. kaso parang naghahanap lang ako ng mas wide pa kaya im going for UWA this summer. kapag magpapalit ka ng lens make sure of it na malayong malayo ang performance nung bibilhin ko for example, go for mas wide or mas mababa ang aperture para di mo pagsisihan yung purchase mo. hehe. ayun lang.

OT question po. what's an IQ and Exif? lagi ko kasi nababasa yun

[dreamhaus09]

I am just wondering bakit karamihan ng mga photographers and isama na natin ang nagsta-start palang mag-photography ayaw o pinapalitan agad ang Kit Lens? Eh, parepareho naman halos nagagawa ng mga lente maliban lang sa Fish-eye. Wala lang, I am just curious kung bakit. 

Give me reasons or reactions kung bakit ayaw o pinapalitan nila ang Kit Lens.
To be specific kung anong lens -> EF-S 18-55 IS

Walang basagan ng trip dito sa thread, gusto ko lang malaman kung bakit  and walang mag to-tolerate

Dun muna tayo sa "mga photographers". sa tingin ko kaya pinapalitan nila yung lens nila kasi parang feel nila na kailangan na nila mag upgrade into a better lens. or syempre hahanap sila ng ibang lens na mas OK sa type ng pictures na gusto nilang kunan. example wildlife photography. sino ba namang [avocado] gagamit ng kit lens at lalapit sa buwaya sa batis para lang picturan to kung pwede naman gumamit ng zoom lens..

At para naman sa "nagsta-start palang mag-photography" nag papalit agad sila ng lens dahil kala nila pangit yung lens nila kaya pangit din kuha nila.. hindi nila alam pangit lang talaga sila kumuha..

Never had a kit-lens lol. 

[trinch]

OT question po. what's an IQ and Exif? lagi ko kasi nababasa yun

IQ = Image Quality (sharpness and quality ng lens)
EXIF = eto yung shooting details e.g shutter speed, ISO, aperture, focal length, flash/no flash....

Good topic sir, I think nasa photographer yun kung magpapalit sya na nga lens, dipende kasi kung anong concept na gusto nya kuhaan..meron magaling sa telephoto pero sa kit e hindi creative yung kuha.. pero ang kagandahan sa kit is sharp sya and sa tingin ko mas ok talaga for start..

thanks guys for all of your suggestion, i decided to not go to L categories and save up a little bit to get a external flash.. But i narrow my choices to canon 100m macro lens or sigma 50mm 1.4 . both lens have superb reviews and photos in the internet so help me decide guys, which of the two is bang for the buck? and wont regret it?

If you want to upgrade lenses, dont go for 3rd party lenses.  The Canon 100mm f/2.8 is a good lens so is the Canon 50mm f/1.4.  Both are good for low light situations like concerts, indoors.  With the Sigma, you'll have barrel distortion, chromatic aberrations, and vignetting.

Recommending the following lenses as upgrade:
17-55mm f/2.8, 24-70mm f/2.8 L, 24-105mm f/4 L - for general walk-around all purpose uses
10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 for landscapes, tight places, family gatherings
100mm f/2.8 macro for portraits, low light conditions, and macro
50mm f/1.4 portraits, low light conditions
70-200 f/4 for portraits, sniping, photowalks

But you have to decide what fields you want to concentrate or focus on.  

You'll never go wrong with Canon lenses on your Canon camera.

Add ko lang.  You'll have back focusing issues with the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 causing your shots to be soft even at f/4.

You can always have it calibrated. I personally like the siggy 50mm better than cannon's.. I just didn't have enough dough for it when I bought my canon.

any 50mm plus a really good flash will do.
