6 best canon slr lenses

Product description

The Canon EF 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II Zoom Lens is a standard zoom lens designed with Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer technology while retaining the compactness and lightness of previous models. Its stabilization allows sharp hand-held shots at shutter speeds up to four stops slower than otherwise possible. It consists of 11 elements in 9 groups and uses an spherical lens element to correct aberration for excellent image quality throughout the zoom range and a circular aperture for exquisite rendering of out-of-focus backgrounds. Without a lot of size, weight or cost, this lens expands picture-taking possibilities any time slow shutter speeds are needed.

• Focal Length & Maximum Aperture - 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II
• Lens Construction - 16 elements in 12 groups, including UD-glass and spherical lenses
• Diagonal Angle of View - 74 20' - 7 50' (with APS-C image sensors)
• Focus Adjustment - Gear-driven
• Bulk Packaging Come in White box use with card

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this lens fit the Canon 750d
Answer:	Hi CAPT W. The size UV filter that you need is 52mm. I found that Nikon 35mm camera stranded lens are 52mm. However, wide angle, fisheye, and telephoto lens are different in size. For example, telephoto lens over 250mm use a 58mm filter. I hope that this helpful.
Question:	Can this be used for close up photos
Answer:	The answer is yes and no. This lens is a better overall lens than the "kit" lens that typically comes with the D3100. However, this is a prime lens which means it has a fixed focal length - no zoom. Zooming is done with your feet. The "kits lens" is usually a 18mm-55mm lens. Better for zooming, but not as good in low light, and not the same quality lens as this one.
Question:	will this fit T3i rebel cameras
Answer:	The difference between the two lenses is the focal length. I personally have both lenses in my arsenal because they are NOT the same or even that similar, as some have said. The nifty fifty, as it's known, is great for portrait close-ups. It produces creamy bokeh that is absolutely gorgeous. The 35mm can also be used as portrait lens but it won't give you anything near the beauty of the composition of a 50mm shot. Also, it's a wider angle (the smaller the number the wider the lens) so basically if you were to stand at the back of a room full of people with a 50 on and look through your viewfinder, then stand in the same spot but change your 50 to the 35, you'll find that you can see more of the room (hence, wider angle) through the 35. I recommend buying both but if you're just getting started and looking to save money, definitely go with the 50mm.
Question:	Will this fit the rebel t 5i
Answer:	OK, in all seriousness, if the question really is: "Can you use this lens to shoot basketball?", the answer is yes, if you sit on the baseline, find the right exposure settings, and shoot burst at least 3 fps. I use this lens to catch anywhere from layups to jump shots in the corner, when my team is on offense. When they're on defense on the other side of the court, I switch to the 85 1.8, which captures backcourt defense really well, but not enough depth to capture my team defending their rim.

Product description

The Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Standard & Medium Telephoto Lens is highly practical and ideal for a range of applications including portraiture. Its fast f/1.8 maximum aperture is effective in low light and ideal for shallow depth of field focus control. An ultrasonic autofocus motor (USM) provides fast, smooth and quiet AF action and because the front lens group does not rotate during focusing, polarizing and special filter effects can be used effectively.

User questions & answers

Question:	What do the green numbers on the top mean in the slider
Answer:	Measurement in feet. You will not go wrong if you purchase this lens. I love it! The clarity is excellent. It takes a while to get the focus exact, but once you work with the lens you will not know how you did not buy this sooner.
Question:	Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM or Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM? What distances can you shoot from the subject for each (trying to determine best for my needs
Answer:	Closest focusing distance is 0.85m or 2.8 ft. for the 85mm f/1.8 and the closest focusing distance for the 50mm f/1.8 is 1.15 ft. or 0.35m. Depends on your style of shooting but the 85mm f/1.8 it's better for portrait.
Question:	Does it come with the lens hood
Answer:	No, must be purchased separately. I have understood the ET65III hood is the only that fits on the 85mm f1.8
Question:	So many reviews! Can someone semi pro tell me if this focal distance is worth the purchase if you already own the canon 50mm f 1.4? I have a 7D and a full frame 5D and I use the 50mm on both. I am looking to gain that "better bokeh" mainly. Thoughts? Thank you
Answer:	This is one of my favorite primes that I own. It not only has a really nice bokeh, and great contrast and color rendering. But it also has a very flattering perspective. It also makes most peoples faces look a bit better. Something about 85mm makes the face a little skinnier, while also compressing the area that is in focus a bit. It's heavier than most other 'Ultrasonic' EF primes. But this just makes it balance well on a 5D, 6D or 7D. Until you step up to L series you will have to deal with a bit of chromatic aberation and vignetting. Though that is a simple task if shooting raw. The 50mm is a bit more natural perspective compared to 85. But you also have to get right up on a subject with it. The 85 lets you get a similar shot from a few more feet away, which makes the subject more comfortable.

Product description

The optical system, construction, and exterior are the same as the EF 75-300 mm f/4-5.6 III USM’s. The difference is that it uses a DC motor instead of a USM to drive the AF.Format Compatibility: 35mm Film / Full-Frame Digital Sensor,Canon (APS-C).

From the Manufacturer

Capture the far-off action of fast-paced sports or zoom in for an intimate portrait with the Canon EF 75-300mm telephoto zoom lens. The optical system, construction, and exterior are the same as the EF 75-300 mm f/4-5.6 III USM’s. The difference is that it uses a DC motor instead of a USM to drive the AF.

• Focal length: 75-300mm
• Maximum aperture: 1:4-5.6

• Closest focusing distance: 4.9 feet
• Zoom system: Rotating type

• Weight: 16.8 ounces

The most affordable of Canonís long telephoto zooms, this lens is excellent for subjects from portraits to wildlife and nature. It shares the same 13-element optical system as the 75-300mm USM lens, but uses a DC motor for autofocus. Close-focusing down to 4.9 feet (1.5m) allows filling the frame (at 300mm) with a subject the size of a dollar bill, and itís compatible with the Canon 58mm Close-up lens 500D for even more spectacular shots of small objects.

Isolate the Interesting Part

The eye tends to see the whole rather than the individual parts. It also sees whatís near and not whatís far. By bringing attention to those things missed by the eye, you can create many interesting pictures. It could be the grimace of an athlete, the grill of a classic car, or a girl against a blurred background. Telephoto lenses can also compress images to give dramatic effects. You are limited only by your imagination.

User questions & answers

Question:	how well would this do to shot a large group of people. i am shooting a wedding and they would like a picture of all the guests
Answer:	This lens does not work on the A7Rii, at least without the adaptor. This is an A mount lens, and that is a full frame camera. If you get the adaptor for converting A mount to E mount, it will work. There is no crop, since this is a full frame lens. I am not so sure how the A mount to E mount convertor works, since I have no experience with it. If you would like some more info about this lens, then you should check out the review I have on my profile. It covers the pros and cons, offers advice for how to use it, and also has sample images. The review is for the Canon model, but the info about the lens is still valid (just ignore the stuff specific to Canon). Here is a link. https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R3VA2PKY5NQOWK?ref=pf_ov_at_pdctrvw_srp
Question:	For shooting at the Grand Canyon will I be fine with a 60D/10-22mm combo or should I just rent a Mark II with the Canon 16-35mm
Answer:	Heavier. Less expensive. Autofocus just as fast. Very well constructed.
Question:	Does this lens have image stabilization
Answer:	The lens will fully function with the R as long as the R to EF adapter is used
Question:	Does this work with Canon EOS 70D . I do not see 70D listed in the compatibility list
Answer:	A lens hood should come with it. Mine did.

Question:	Is this lens compatible with a canon 1dx mark ii
Answer:	Hello. I take a dish rag, pour alcohol on it, place it inside the unit. I then use a long wooden kitchen spoon to move the rag around to clean the build up. For the harder to reach areas, I have a long thin brush that was originally purchased in a 3 brush set to clean my fish tank. Those work great. I also use q-tips dipped in alcohol to clean the inside of the detachable parts. Hope this helps

Answer:	I have three of these units for over three years ... Extra Strength cleaning Vinegar (no bleach) ... Two cups and a sponge (small foam brush will work, also) ... I have large hands ... Rinse with Hot Water ... I fill with Reverse Osmosis water ... I live in Las Vegas, NV ... It's dry heat ...
Question:	Is this compatible with Canon Mirrorless M
Answer:	It just goes low to high, I set mine on high round the clock, I have a fire burning most of the time in the winter as well as the heat pump, so it stays extremly dry in the winter here. I use mine in the bedroom, but am considering getting another one for the family room.
