[orlylow]

am using a 1000d with the basic 18-55 kit lens now. with a budget of maybe 800-1k, should I

1. get a better lens for it
2. get a new kit?

injunjack got a new one http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=1142.870

Oh, duh… my bad haha. I read it wrong :p

orly, my advice is to invest in a GOOD new lens THEN upgrade the body. with that budget you can get a ton of nice lenses and since you are using Canon I suggest looking into a 70-200, or a 24-105. They are both L lenses (best types of lenses you can get imo) and they are worth the price. No point in investing in a nicer body if you are going to be using a crappy lens.

If I can find a link to a video I saw I will post it which will give you an example of a bad camera with good lens and an amazing camera with a horrible lens.

And… me! Had someone take this for me (although telling them how to properly take a picture was a pain in the ass...).

[crisone]

Green eyes…..dope.

Cris.

[laxlife1234]

Haha thanks Cris. That's my favorite one of the day.

[Finn666]

great pics jacob.

i really like the 2nd one. could be from a filmscene or something like it.
green eyes are dope as well…!

[laxlife1234]

Thanks Rafa :)! 2nd one has a hardcore feeling to it imo and the kid is huge! Nice kid, but when he makes a serious face you don't want to mess with him hahaha! The filmscene is the look I was trying to achieve with most of the photos by making them wider and adding the black bars and giving them a certain color.
