so if you can get a 1 all the better, if not pimp for a 30/50?

Yeah a 1 would be amazing but I doubt you'd get it under £200.

Is there much difference between the 50e and the 50n?

Basically one has eye control for focus points. So you can look where you want it to focus. Some people say it works, others say it doesn't. I got the n and I'm happy enough.

Erm which is which? is the N the one without the eye control thingy?

petemc · 13-09-2006, 10:59

Oh yeah. N is normal, E for eye.

Cool, so one of those and a 28-105mm lens would be a good starting point? Oh if the lens is manual focus, would auto focus still work?

petemc · 13-09-2006, 11:08

If the lens is fully manual, then no. Maybe thats why its so cheap. It could be an older model without AF. If you can get the AF model.

Sorry to keep asking all the questions, but with lenses, the range i.e. 28-105 gives you the focus range?

What is the best thing to do regarding f ranges with lenses?

Would something like this be suitable?

Is this a fixed zoom lense?

I'm actually thinking of going for this one if it will fit.

I have eye control on the EOS30 and seldom uses it.

Really? Would you be interested in parting with it? Or should I say persuaded to
