Recently I've been itching for a prime lens, the only one I own is the M50/f1.7.

Great lens, a little soft wide open and manual focus with toddlers is a trial.

I've had my eye on the DA50 which currently sells for £80-90 new, seems like a bargain.

I do also own the Sigma 17-50/f2.8 which is my day to day lens. So my question is, if I get the DA50 am I going to disappointed by how it performs compared to the Sigma at 50mm?

Should I be looking at a more expensive 50mm if I'm after something instead of the Sigma for portraits and the like?

Something else I considered was getting a prime in the 70mm range instead, but I can't find anything I would consider affordable at the moment (£300 range)

Other than the focal length, the 50-200 will have a metal mount, quick shift, and comes with a hood I believe.

Great insight, thanks for sharing.

I recently bought one of these JJC Diffuser / Bouncer for flashes Canon Speedlite 580EX / 580EX II https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0073PDPCA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_nlnLybNNRQZ68

Purely based on the fact that my wedding photographer was using one!

I've not really used it to be honest, just seemed like a thing I needed

Payment received, thanks HarisF1

Now sold - pending payment

For sale is my DA L 55-300mm F4-5.8 ED

No longer needed as I have the DA version on the way.

I'm selling it with the lens hood pictured and both caps.

In great condition, no problems with it.

Looking for £70 delivered or willing to trade for a DA 50mm F1.8





I took these photos quickly on the way out this morning, I'll probably replace them with better pictures later.

Payment sent for the 55-300.

Paul.

Great photos and lots of great information to go with it as always.

I've been playing with my flash gun mounted on my K3ii for a while now, seeing stuff likes this gives me confidence to try harder!

I've got little ones at home too, they really are the best subjects to work with.
