The 50mm lenses are not telephotos.

The 70-200 f/4 is decent, but I don't think you can get one even close to $600 unless you buy used from ebay.

Good canon lens for portrait photography under $600? Do I need a filter to tag along with it?

I'm looking for a good canon lens that seems to fit in for portrait photography. When I say portrait photography, I'm also saying pictures of people with blurring backgrounds and all.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cmlx9LJbE0&feature=channel

there's a video of the kinds of portrait photos I would want, but mostly portraits of people. What kind of canon lens should I get for those kinds of pictures? I heard that it's 85mm. I think there's one Lens that's under $600, but I don't know if there are other goods ones that are similar. If there are more that are better, but over my budget, just tell me, My budget will increase by time.

Here's the website with the two 85mm lenses and more. It's the Standard/Medium telephoto page of canon's US page.

Answer
You have a few options for a portrait lens under $600..
For full body portraits, consider the Canon 50mm f/1.8 or Canon 50mm f/1.4
For head-to-waist to head-to-shoulders portraits, consider the Canon 85mm f1/.8
For head-to-shoulder to head-only portraits, consider the Canon 100mm f/2

Hope this helped and good luck!

What digital camera is the best at picking up details for black and white photography?

best canon lens under 600 image

xblackxspa

I have an Olympus C-4000 and It takes good photos but doesn't get the details I want. I'm hoping to find a camera under $600. I want something that picks up lots of details from far away and up close. I take a lot of nature photos and I'm starting to try portraits.

Answer
Not sure exactly what you mean by 'details'.

A Hasselblad H3D is going to give you the best tonality for Black & White conversions. The Nikon D700 or Canon 5D Mark II would be adequate. I have not seen an APS-C camera that can really do B&W well.


"I want something that picks up lots of details from far away and up close."

If you are talking about physical details then you might look into prime macro lenses and telephoto lenses.

If you are truly serious about B&W you should look into a Mamiya RZ67 and Ilford Pan F, Tri-X or XP2. Film is still best for B&W imagery.

What is the best 35mm digital camera that will hold an wide angel lens priced under $600?

Mark's Min

Hi,

I need a 35 mm digital camera that I can attach a wide angel lens too. Obviously, I would also buy a separate compatible wide a angel lens. I would like at least 10 mega pixel and would like a camera. I can only spend $600 which includes any taxes.. Any ideas?

Answer
any of the modern digital SLR's (dSLR's) will be suitable

but there are few if any 35mm dSLR's in your budget, AFAIK only top end dSLR's like the Canon EOS..but they cost multi thousands

it comes down to what you call a wide angle lens. moder dSLR's tend to use smaller sensors than 35mm film format.. hence they have a so called 35mm equivalent.. for most thats around 1.25 to 1.5 times 35mm, for four thirds cameras (Olympus & Panasonic) this factor is twice. so they may produc e a lens which optically is 14-50mm zoom is quoted at 28-100mm equivalent for Olympus, or 32-75mm at 1.5 times

so having said that any dSLR with a suitable lens will do the job. despite what some people say I don't think there is as big a difference between the makes as people say. so go to a camera shop and make your own mind up as to which camera you like. theres is an argument that buying a Canon or Nikon on the basis that you may be able to get cheaper lenses secondhand on EBAY or similar, and that mey be true. Its also true that Nikon Canon and others built dSLR's that could use a photographers exisitng lenses.., anoither of the rreasons given why Cznonor Nikon may be better/// I'd argue the Olympus approach of starting from scratch desiging lenses for the digital requirements a smarter approach.. fourthirds lenses tend to be smaller and lighter.

An alternative approach would be to find a suitable lens and then buy the best camera body you want (remembering to allow for things like memory cards, protective filter, camera gadget bag, card reader etc....)

there is a steep learning curve to get the best out of the camera
