Q: Canon lens seem to be way too expensive nowadays. I've looked for them at retail stores and I'm yet to compare the prices between the two, but is it risky buting canon lens online?
Where can I get them?

A: The price of a brand name lens comes from the manufacturer's name, which reassures the buyer of quality through company reputation. However, some of the time, you can find replica lenses for sale at a local camera store. Such lenses will most likely have a brand name you haven't heard of, but their quality is surprisingly good, since they are all manufactured in relatively the same fashion.

That being said, it isn't always true that you get what you pay for with...

Is it okay to use Sigma Lens for Canon 450D?

Written by edone z | Thursday, September 04, 2008

I'm planning to buy Sigma Lenses for my Canon 450D. Because I guess it's much cheaper than Canon lens. Is Sigma compatible with Canon?


A: I put a Sigma on my Canon and the lens dropped an AF gear after 1.5yrs - the warranty was 1yr. They are cheap and they work but they don't last.


Don’t buy it at any of these rip-off scam sites that are owned by George Sabato:

What is the best starting lens for the Canon Digital Rebel XTi?

Written by hmarafie | Friday, May 09, 2008

I was going to go with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens but I read some reviews and the downside is that it is disappointing in night or low light shots, has a lot of glare (whatever that means). I don't think all Canon lenses are like that so which one should I go for?


A: Well, if you don't like the Canon 18-55mm, you should go for a Nikon camera with a Nikon 18-55mm, which is higher rated ;-)

But if you stick with Canon, then an alternative lens will depend upon how much you want to spend. For the money, the Canon 18-55mm is a good lens, but it's a consumer level lens. However, used properly, there's no reason why you can't use the Canon 18-55mm lens--AS LONG AS YOU UNDERSTAND THE LIMITATIONS and how to get around them.
