@harold you pretty much have the set up I'm after! Very jealous... What kinda photography do you do most?

Couldn't agree more with skunkworks. I'm hoping to get one after a 30 or 35mm. It's super cheap at 200 squids and nicely rectangular on a crop sensor. Dang, I could have all the lenses on my list if I hadn't built my last bike. :(

I think the same about fisheyes, but it doesn't stop me from wanting one. Lulz

Thanks a bunch for the link! I had a think and I don't really have any uses for anything majorly wide tbh. A 30 or 35 will do me well for street photography (as I can't afford a 24mm) and the large apertures are great too.

I love this thread. Thanks for the helpful input eveybody.

I now really want a 35mm... Need to get some monies together... Or buy more scratch cards.
What does everyone think about fisheyes?

As ed mentioned, the 1.2 seems like to be a one trick pony... Especially with cameras being decent at higher iso.. As you also mentioned. :)

@spenceey The 35mm f2 looks pretty good and at about £210 on amazon it's a steal. It would be closer to a 50mm on my crop sensor too. Hooray

Thanks ed. 1.2 sounds great on paper, but seems a bit overkill imo.
Phil (and anybody else who knows), is it true 50mm has about the same field of view as your eyes? I wish I could use my 50mm as my main lens... But it's too tele on a crop sensor. A fast(ish) wide lens is next on my to buy list.

The 1.8 is brilliant for the price though. Not bad at at macro either considering it's not built for it.

I picked up a Canon 50mm 1.8 for my crop sensor camera this week. Very happy with it as I can't afford the 1.4 ...Or the 1.2. Has anybody got a 1.4 or 1.2 and fancy telling me how much better it is?

^^^street furniture lol

@Fixedstar That's worth the wetness imo.

Haha, nice! Xmas is overrated anyways. How wet did you get on that ride? Ride safe broski.

@Aches and Pains
Hard enough to avoid hitting a ped who started crossing, but not hard enough for me to over the bars. (Thank fuq)

Heal up soon Fixedstar.

Today heading east through the Mile End junction thingy, I went in wayy too hot and the lights changed. Didn't fancy running the red and pulled an emergency stop. Ended up a few metres over the line feeling all flustered and embarassed. Just when I thought it was all over, I realised I was inadvertently trackstanding and so had a massive clipless moment, almost hitting the deck. I apologise to anybody (mainly the guy on the white ss/fixed gear behind me) who saw me fuck up.

On the plus side, I met a guy outside city hall who told me about how he built up a very nice road conversion and also shared his frame stipping methods.

Dick move on the BBC's part. It's already been said but this 'documentary' was shite.

+1 to everybody supporting Cynthia though.

I'll be riding around Paris during the next tour. Would be cool to meet some of you guys. It's about time I made some friends on here too.

Does anybody on here play GTA2 still? It's only 13 years old and I still haven't completed it.

The emirates cable car looks good to me. Anybody been on it? Apart from that, I'd get pretty wasted in an alley somewhere.
