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!

His wife was planning on picking up on her photography interest again, but then a baby came and they needed the money for more important things!

I’ve always been very interested in photography but at a beginners level. This is my first step into amateur photography and I’m really excited about the new opportunities it will open up for me as part of my web design activities.
