Hi All,
A friend bought a Canon 400D earlier this year and got two kit zooms in the package. These are quite slow and his birthday is fast approaching and a group of us were considering clubbing together and getting him a prime lens, perhaps a 35 or 50.
I do not own or know about any Canon gear so I was wondering if any of you here would be so kind as to suggest any lenses or opinions about the entry level models. Are there any gems or steer clear of models? We would probably have about 200 EUR to spend. Can anything good be bought for this amount or is it worth getting a coupon he can put towards something better? Is focus shift/sample variation a problem with fast Canon primes or can you safely buy without checking against the camera first.
Many thanks in advance.
