Photo Sans Lens ?
Monday, November 19, 2007 at 9:37PM That was an attempt at a pun, after San's request to try taking pictures with just the camera body!
I tried.. All I got was an overloaded CMOS sensor!
After some repeated pleading and researching, I found a lens for near 100 bucks which was
1. new
2. had some zoom as opposed to a 50mm
3. if possible a canon lens for the canon digital rebel xti
4. at least a f/3.5
5. an autofocus (EF lens)
and I got 4/5 on a New Canon EF 28-90mm f/4-5.6 III lens for <120 bucks from a local photo store!
Granted it is not a f/2.8 or a USM (ultra sonic) but the thing is great for the pictures I usually take!
Going to play with this lens over the long weekend..
and now for some pictures.
The first one is my princess photographed with the old S30 (the thing had to be taped at places to hold the battery, CF card etc. and the picture had to be cropped to get rid of the light spots, but still...)
and the second one is a photo taken today with the two of them posing for me
Some lens is better than no lens!
Just like that Cereal ad. which says "Kid tested, mother approved" why doesn't Canon come up with a nice lens that is "dad tested, mother approved"?

sundar:
you've got the order wrong - shouldn't it be "mother approved, dad tested"? ;-)
