>>2901915General usage:
>AutomotiveUse 18-55 or 50mm
>CityscapesPlan on using 10-20, have been using 18-55 just not wide enough
Have used 70-300 for some special zoom shots
>Macro/Bugs/Plants18-55 has done well but I haven't tried any with my 70-300 which does have a macro setting, will probably use that from most points forward as it has really fucking nice clarity for a $150 lens new.
>Nature stillsAny and all
>Urban/IndustrialAll
Reasons for buying stuff:
>Body (kit)I wanted a DSLR.
>18-55Came with it and is OK at most things
>50mm18-55 wasn't letting in enough light at night and want something compact for car shows. "Maybe I can get better clearer city pics"
>70-300I want a zoom lens for stills.
>10-20No, the 50mm is not wide enough for cityscapes, since the last Sigma I bought has exceptional clarity for what it is and the Tamron is reviewed badly, and the cheaper Canons I am not impressed with in low light, and the Canon I want is out of my price range, I will buy another Sigma.
>TripodThe one I got from my dad as a hand me down for free is too large to put onto a backpack.
>BagI want to carry my shit with me while riding a bike, but a normal tactical backpack is not padded enough. Other camera bags look dumb and aren't as modular.
>128gb cardI hate running out of memory, plus I shoot JPG+raw and often do multi-exposure. I bought the biggest one I could find so I do not ever have this problem.
I have a reason for each purchase, I think this will remove any restraints caused by hardware capabilities. I hope now my limit will be my abilities.
>>2901916Man I wish I could drop that much on fisheye but it's just not in my budget for this hobby, yet. My entire kit is only a bit more than that lens.
The UWAZ I really wanted (and could have justified buying) was the Canon10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM
Again, once my skills develop to the point hardware is my limiting factor, I'll spend more for better lenses, but I want a good base of everything now.
