ChaosTheory Since it's a crop body, the 35mm is an actual 50mm on a D5000. The 50mm is actually a 75-80mm on your D5000. Again it's mostly focal length for the most part, price, and a full frame lens and a non full fram lens. Did you get confused by the 1.5 part?

Yeah.. & I was kinda confused about the full frame vs non full frame.  So if I already have a 55-108mm on my d5000.. would it be pointless to get the 50mm?  I kinda just want a lighter/general lense that I could use for everyday photography..

some sick shots btw.. feeling the window one

it wouldn't be pointless to get a 50mm, especially the f/1.8. the speed, the sharpness, and the depth of field alone justifies having this lens. i've got some L lenses on my canon body, but when push comes to shove, i always reach for the 50. it honestly taught me how to frame and compose images instead of always leaning on the zoom. plus, the 50 f/1.8 isn't really expensive in terms of lenses...i say go for it. i used it straight for over a year as my everyday lens and i made it work...you can too bro.

Yup, shot in Manual, no flash.

Thanks! Yup I started with the d40 as my first cam and I've had the T2i since summer. Great camera

Yup was right across the barricade, had Mos Def looking right down the lens in a few shots, was awesome. I'm gonna upload some other concert pics I've taken this year in a few minutes as well.

get the t2i unless you care about an articulating screen.

That's  about the major difference. And if you're buying a T2i or T3i, you more than likely will not care about wireless flash(or you'd be buying the faster 60D or 7D).  
Either one will do. I started with a T2i. I liked it, but I wanted to do faster shots and I needed to be able to change ISO's, Aperture, etc on the fly without going into a menu setting. I'm keeping the 60D and soon looking to get a 5D III. It really just depend on what you're shooting.

Thanks Brosephs!

Yeah.. the 50mm price is definitely pretty good.  I didn't really mean pointless, but was just thinking it would be repetitive maybe? Don't really know.. that's why i was asking.  Think I'm just going to take my camera into the store and try it on myself and be prepared to either pay more for the 35mm or just grab the 50mm.

These were taken in Australia on New Years Day at Field Day in Sydney. Awesome concert! Australians were definitely some of the friendliest people, I'm trying to move there for work once I'm done with graduation. There was a great line-up, but I came late to Field Day and was only able to see the last half of the concert.

Frat brother trashed @ a party.............
28mm F3.5 1/60 on T2i body 10-18-10

That puppy in the AJ1 is my new desktop pic.....love it!

I'm looking to grab a 7D and maybe keep my T2i also.

I want both so I can tripod one and free roam the other when doing video.

Woulda 7D at $1,300 be a good deal?

I am realizing my photography is getting capped off. I was in SD the past 5 days and I swear I didn't get one interesting photo and I feel like I don't know how to shoot with a straight lens.

More fisheye....

And an airplane photo cause I like airplane photos.

sounds good, the prices have dropped but 1300 for a 7D is good stuff.


anyway, here's some shots from last night. beautiful day in NYC and walked from delancey to 42nd:













and an iphone shot from the brooklyn botanical garden:

Much appreciation Rolo. What would be the other brands that you would suggest? I'm not only looking into Hoya specifically. 

Dope shots as always btw. 

Question for anyone that shoots with a Tammy 17-50 mm non-vc Canon lens or shoots with a filter or circular polarizer in general.

Do you guys suggest shooting with a UV filter with the lens? I'm thinking of getting one to protect the lens but I'm not sure what I should get. I was looking at Hoyas but I'm wondering if there were any cheaper alternatives. 

Much appreciation for any help guys. 

EDIT: I'm willing to hear everyone else's suggestions as well.
