Well I took the plunge last night and picked up the 5DM3 and the Canon 50mm 1.8 II. I'm gonna force myself to use primes more and auto modes less. Now to start saving and selling to get the 70-200 2.8. Took the camera and the lens to the Pueblo Chili Festival today. I shot RAW and Medium. The pictures from you guys definitely give me something to aspire to. Suggestion on sources for learning post processing? Again, thanks for all your advise and critiques. Scott
Excellent Scott!! Sounds like you have the right attitude. The 50mm 1.8 II is not a bad little lens. i used to have the plastic fantastic too. Takes good shots.
I use mostly primes, and find it great fun. Some good value primes you might consider: 28mm 1.8, 35mm 2.0 IS, 85mm 1.8, 100mm 2.8/2.0, 135L, 200 2.8L. Also Sigma 35mm 1.4, 85mm 1.4, and any of their Macro lenses.
Have fun, and keep taking photos! Thats the main thing. i started using the DPP software as its easy to use, and you can get pretty good results if you use it well... might be a starting point.
When you use fast lenses, make sure you select your AF point manually, and dont let the camera decide!
