My new Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM lens

// October 24th, 2008 // Photography

I recently bought a new lens for my camera, the Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM. For those of you who don’t understand the numbers, it basically means its got a focal length of 28mm – giving a wide view of the scene – and with an aperture of 1.8 it’s pretty fast; this means that it lets lots of light in for getting sharp images with great depth of field.

It cost me £300 at time of purchase which is relatively inexpensive. It’s definitely an excellent lens and a must for any would-be photographer. I took the below picture of Christina last week whilst out trying the new lens… beautiful!
