expensive? how so? i think if maybe i invest in a lens or start printing pics..but i'm not there yet..and if i do, then i'll probably try to sell shots..turn it into an investment hobby. for now i won't sweat it too much, i just like observing life and capturing the moment on "film".

Congratulations :)
good to know you are enjoying it.. hopefully it's a start of a new hobby. I'll warn you though, it can get DARN EXPENSIVE. if you thought girls and shoes were bad, this is much worse.

i discovered the button after reading this thread a while back and went...OH, that's what it's for!

i've alreayd started taking some shots with it. i totally like natural light better than flash and with the software i can adjust the colors/contrast. it's so adgantageous. i luv the flip out lens.. i just took a couple of art shots of myself to test it out...can't wait to use it outdoors!

sabih,

bhphoto = us funds + shipping + customs +tax = not worth it :) atleast ebay guys downmark or write illegibly so i save on customs/brokerage/taxes.

I just got my 8mm peleng, love it :)

I must say though I am disappointed with the 17-85 for low light situations. the corners are really not focused.

how is the 28-135? I want a 10-22 next, and maybe a 300mm. By the way, are you making any money off of these expensive investments? you seem to be spending a lot .. atleast those 1.4s cost a lot.

mastermoe -- that's cool, i'll check out their site.

This thread should be renamed :)

Hey Elisyium, I just ordered the 50mm f1.8... $105 from ProDigital2000.com (Their website sucks, but if you call them, they almost have everything and at a good price, even better than their website)

I shop from vistek.ca , henrys.com , pawn shops downtown toronto, or ebay :)

Elysium, really really nice pictures! mashaa Allah! :)
I also have the 17-85mm IS USM and a 75-300mm USM III lens. I'll check out that 50mm lens, where do you usually shop?
You can check out some of my pictures on my gallery, pictures.mastermoe.com (yes, yes, I know they suck and I still have lots to learn, but I'm working on it! :)

mastermoe, I also suggest you pickup at the very least a 50mm f1.8 prime by canon, best 100 bucks you'll spend for the rebel XT :)

I bought the kit with a Canon 17-85 IS USM. I have also got a lensbaby ( lensbaby.com ) and a 80-200mm Soligor m42 mount from a pawn shop for $120 canadian which is older than me but in decent condition. you may find sample pics at flickr.com

Sabih, I'd have to agree that it 'sucks' mostly because there is no split image center assistance as with older slr cameras. And yes the viewfinder is small.. but can't complain too much :) When you mean mf with focus notification, is that about the focus point sensors lighting up when it's in focus? Because I've been able to do that with 350D as well. Not all the itme, but it does happen if done right..

I'm right now waiting for my 8mm peleng to come in :)
and 29mm + 135mm primes. Just got macro extension tubes too .. this is getting pretty fun. I'm wishing I hadn't spent 3500+ on non slr stuff in the past 5 years now :)

Also, mastermoe, check out : www.bobatkins.com

you can't get lenses for point and shooters.

mastermoe, check ebay for m42 mount lenses and m42 to eos adapters.. cheap and good for practicing/learning manual focus photography :)

i just started playing with mine...how fast is your shutter speed?

i like how it allows me to know how many shots i have left in the memory card..it's my first digital so i'm not certain if others come with that same feature already.. sweet shots so far
