    Perfect camera/lens for what you want. And a good price too. Best of luck!

    You’re gonna need a tripod. And a ball head. Some filters. A bag. No, wait. A backpack. A lighter tripod. And one more lens.

    There’s always one more lens.

    :(

    Hi. I'm a bit delayed on this thread. I have ordered around 4 weeks ago on Saturday and got everything next Friday in perfect condition. I'm glad that I listen lads from forum because I've saved around 400 euros on camera and lens.

    Hope this helps!

    PS:Next lens will be 50mm 1.4 from e-infinity

    (600D shooter)

    The 50 is an 80 on a crop, if you want it for portraits its great but don't expect to use it as a walkabout lens like you could on a FF.

    Also I would probably recommend the 50 1.8 instead of the 1.4.

    Much cheaper and I’m not sure you’ll really need the 1.4, 1.8 is plenty in most conditions.

    Unfortunately that is the case that Ill have to accept with crop sensor camera :(. Was thinking to get either 35mm or 24mm in few months because of the 1.6 crop.

    Cheers :)

    I have a crop sensor and have a 30mm prime lens. Get a good bit of use out of it. I agree with the above poster, 50mm on crop sensor will be tight enough.

    Best thing I did when I got my first proper camera was join my local library, download their magazine app, then read a load of their magazines for free. They've about 5 or 6 photography magazines, some cost €8 to buy!
