Hi! How are you? I noticed that you were looking at the Canon 24mm lens?
I am looking for a wide angle lens for taking pictures in new york city. can you suggest one?
Courtney B
Absolutely!
Which camera do you have?
cannon 70d
Courtney B
Ok!
Did you have a budget that you need to stick to for the lens?
I have a 50mm lens and 70-200mm 2.8 lens I would like to stick to no more than 300 because my last lens was 1500
Courtney B
Ok!
Sounds good! That's reasonable :-)
I do not do this professionally I just do it for fun
Courtney B
Let me see what we have!
If you want a wide angle for under $300, the 24mm f/2.8 is the one that you'd want
The only other options are manual focus only
does that mean fix lens?
Courtney B
Yes
Did you want a zoom?
Manual focus lenses are ones that aren't able to autofocus
a fixed lens is called a prime lens
The 24mm lens here is a fixed/prime lens that doesn't zoom. But it will autofocus
My 50 mm lens is a fixed lens and I love it. It takes awesome pictures. Not sure if that would be the case with wide focus lens and you just answered my next question lol
Courtney B
Ok! :-)
Do you have any other lenses?
yes a 18-270mm tamron lens
Courtney B
Ok!
So do you want the lens to be wider than that one?
yes
Courtney B
Ok. Then you don't want the 24mm lens
Since that won't be wider
I'm not sure if we'll have anything wider for under $300, but I'll check
Would you be ok with a used lens?
Which one would you suggest?
Courtney B
Let me bring that one up
