Hi all. Hope you are all well.
So I currently use a 600D with the kit lens and a canon 50mm 1.8 mk II.
I'm in the process of acquiring new and better equipment, such as I'll be swapping my H4N for a DR100, and grabbing an NTG2. And if not soon, around June time picking up the full frame 5D Mark III.
Whilst I am enjoying my equipment, I feel restricted and can't wait to go full frame. I do realise that crop has its place, and I will try to keep my 600D without selling it to fund towards the 5D.
Anyway to the main body of this question: Bearing in mind I will be moving into the 5D in short time, what is the next lens I should get?
You'll probably ask what are you trying to do. Well I'm pretty sure I am not looking for a zoom lens, and I would love something with a low prime mm that works well in low light, something for intimate shots of people and anything else it can handle beneficial/versatility.
Budget? As cheap as possible but that is a step up from the 50mm 1.8 MK II. That lens can be really handy but a step up for my next lens.
I've heard a good idea is old Nikon lenses off ebay as long as I buy adapters for them?
I realise that the 50mm will be so much wider when it comes to full frame, and will make that lens even more usable. On the 600d crop sensor its great, but its so very very tight.
What would YOU buy?
