Absolutely stunning.  I'd love to capture some landscapes that are half as good someday.

I shoot this on my T3i (600d) and am a big fan; I got it for $350 (USD) back in December, although I would love to have nabbed it for under $300 in February.  I was fortunate to receive a copy that...

Canon 600d with EF-S 55-250mm IS II.  (Cropped from 250mm.) A pair of sharp-shinned hawks are nesting in my neighbor's tree.  I took a break from mowing the lawn to snap a few photos.  This is the...

Sehr schön!  Die erste ist auch mien lieblings.

I agree completely.  I also think it would look great in a wider aspect (e.g. 16x9).

Very cool.  Would love to see a version with increased color saturation.

I have been using the old Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM on my 600d since December and have really enjoyed it for indoor family photography.  I haven't experienced focus issues that aren't attributed...

Amazing shots; nice composition.

Stunning captures, especially (for me) the first two.  Thank you for sharing!

I just thought I'd come see what people are talking about in the Beginners forum.  Twin control dials?  Does that mean one can use one dial to control f-stop and another to control shutter speed? ...

Someone brought up memory cards.  I recommend a Class-10 card speed-wise.  8 GB should be plenty large for shooting raw, but I'd recommend a 16 GB card; I carry two 16s, one as a back-up. I shot my...

I own a 600d and shoot the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM indoors all the time.  I don't even consider using my it EF-S 18-55mm IS II anymore. Most of my shots are of my son playing around the house,...

ISO 12233 Comparison on The Digital Picture If money and max focal length don't factor into your decision, then just look at the difference in sharpness.  (Note that I don't own either and make due...

My cat is wondering why I'm taking a photo of him. I'm a fan of the current Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM.  I have to be careful w/ focus at f/1.4 and normally shoot f/1.8, but I haven't experienced...

Great bird shots -- the hummers are particularly nice!

I can't comment as to the particular merits of this lens, but I agree that it has a lot of overlap with your 18-85mm, which already covers a terrific range for a walk-around.  I'd recommend...

Fantastic shots -- I think 3, 7 and 10 are my favorites.

I agree with everyone else suggesting a fast prime.  Anything relatively close I shoot with my Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM now.As others mentioned, you really can't go wrong with the Canon EF 40mm...
