Before I start, let me just tell you that the Canon EF 85mm F/1.8 is a suprisingly awesome lens and I highly recommend it to anyone.
Product Description.
A highly practical medium telephoto lens with superb delineation and portability, the Canon EF 85mm F/1.8 USM lens produces sharp and clear images at all apertures. Through computer simulations, the lens has been designed to give beautiful background blur, thereby bringing your subject into crisp view. The ring-type ultra-sonic monitor (USM) and fast f/1.8 aperture, meanwhile, helps the subject zip into focus in the viewfinder. And because the front lens group does not rotate during focusing, special filter effects are not affected. Best of all, the standard zoom lens–with its natural angle of view and perspective–captures the subject plainly, making it excellent for portraits and images that require a natural depth of field. As with all Canon lenses, the lens carries a one-year warranty. Continue reading »

I’m Glad I have Glad in the kitchen. During rainy season or any season, it’s always a good idea to have a ziplock or glad freezer bags in your camera bag. You can use it to cover your camera and lens from rain, just cut a hole on the other end, and you now have a water resistant protective rain cover for your camera.
But remember, it’s not sealed, it’s not water proof, and you cannot use it in soaking rain, but in moderate rain, it can surely help you get the job done. Continue reading »

Read my first post about this lens here.
It has been more than three months since I got this lens last december, and the more I use this lens, the more I like it. I mentioned before that I will replace it, when i have the money to upgrade, but now, I decided, I’ll keep it. This lens gave me a chance to save my money so I can get the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L IS USM.
The EF 70-210mm F4 Macro, is a good lens, it has good optics. If only it has usm and Image stabilizer, it can be a great performer. Just like any other non stablized lens, you will need a tripod or monopod with this lens. It can be pretty challenging when you use a non stabilized lens indoors and in low light situations, that’s why I always carry my Manfrotto 680B Monopod with Vanguard SBH-300 Ballhead
