Canon Lenses Museum
Photography inside the museum (the objective)?

I'm leaving for my trip to Europe in just over a week. I will be visiting several museums during my trip and I was wondering what lens should be in museums. I have a Canon 60D. Currently I have only two lenses. The 18-135mm kit lens, and 5 mm f / 1.8. What would work better?

Both and neither. With your crop sensor 60D, the 50 mm lens is not wide enough in certain circumstances, however, the aperture of 1.8 is much better for this purpose than the painfully slow, variable lens opening of the kit. However, you will need the angle wider viewing the kit lens offers a 18mm. You will have to watch your shutter speed and raising the ISO to avoid blur due to slow speeds shutter and camera movement. In addition, as has been said about me, many museums do not allow the picture anyway, and if they do, it will be no flash, so I'm not planning to use the flash. Do not have the camera in AUTO mode with the flash to pop up on you. If you do not know how get good photos in manual mode without flash in low light, you need to practice here in the interior before testing in a museum. A particular goal will not make good photos happen for you. You need a good understanding of measurement, and the balance of the shutter speed, aperture, and ISO to get decent photographs. steve

How long is my goal?

If you're still using a point and shoot film or digital camera, choosing the speed is limited to lens the camera. However, for those of you who have decided it is time to move on and upgrade to a camera with interchangeable lenses, if it happens to be film or digital, have certainly been looking at the options available for many lenses. Most people change from one point and grows to an SLR. Although a large percentage of people moving to a digital SLR, Film SLRs are still popular, and the central role therein. Thus, for the purposes of this section, both types are treated as one. The lenses are available in different combinations and varieties, the examination of these is beyond the scope of this article. However, all have one thing in common. They are classified into two groups: slow and fast. If are still grappling with the choice their first goal, or simply trying to make the right decision, while faced with many choices, this article should help.

Firstly, Lens speed is determined by the size of the opening, known as the opening. Plus the faster opening of the lens is considered. Usually, the lenses marked with F4, F3.5, f/2.8 and smaller are considered fast, while lenses marked with many are slower. I know that sounds strange, but the more, the faster the lens. If you are new to shooting with an SLR, it is likely that research "zoom" lenses. Most zooms today have a variable aperture. This simply means that in the short term goal is faster than the long end. For example, a lens type 28-80mm. The lens of 28 mm to 80 mm, and is a very good goal to start. This type of lens is usually 28 mm aperture F3.5 (short end) while 80 mm (long term) will be F4.5, F5.6, or, which is considerably slower than the short term. In Generally, the faster the target, will cost, and the heavier it will be. Most casual shooters Look lens very versatile, and certainly offer more flexibility brilliant in some situations.

Now that we have briefly discussed the concept of speed, lets see if you have really need a fast lens. The first thing you think is in their habits shooting. Each person is different and unique in many respects. Some pictures of landscapes, some people only, night scenes, some shots under water, and so on. Typical shooter will probably be informal taken during the day, and will probably portraits, landscapes, city scenes (perhaps during the holidays), and other parameters very undemanding. If you take lots of pictures in low light, such as nightclubs, restaurants, museums, outdoors at dusk and other low-light situations, more quickly the goal is certainly a great help. However, we must always keep in mind that most zooms, while more rapidly in the late short, will be slower on the long end. This is very important, because if you pull the long end of the lens when purchasing a lens, keep this in mind, and you save some money. Let me explain. Take two glasses, one is a 28-80mm f2.8 (end shortest) / F5.6 (longest side) and the other lens, 28-80mm f3.5 / 5.6 f. Both have a range of identical products, even if the first is faster in the short term. This greater openness is free. You may end up paying twice that the second lens. If you go to most on the long zoom range, compare prices and its objective in this regard.

If you are going to shoot mostly portraits and other static landscapes and Intent to use the flash or a tripod most of the time, you will not need a lens very fast, because the increase in speed is probably of little use to you. As such, you will have no problem with an f4.0 or slower. Action shooters often enjoy better and if you're planning to capture sports, animals and other moving objects, a faster lens can sometimes help. The biggest advantage of a single target faster the freedom it gives you, when light is limited. If you're a great action game, and catch a lot of action low light, the extra speed will be useful, and let you pull the hand. Always check to what extent we will be shooting in different environments. On the action and low light shots benefit most lenses with f4.0 apertures, and more. If you think there is little light, and action will be very rare, and you compare two similar lenses, choose your budget, which will probably be a little slower. Often, the price of a zoom lens with only a slightly smaller opening at the end of time hundreds of dollars or less a zoom of the same size with an opening slightly larger.

Most modern digital SLRs can really make the need for a fast lens and high ISO settings, which makes film cameras using faster film. With film cameras, which would change a film roll to change the ISO sensitivity. If you use a digital SLR, ISO switching is easy, and that could be done at any time. This is a huge advantage, and reduces the need to accelerate the lenses. Unless you intend to make money with his photography equipment, the faster target will not be profitable.

Consider borrowing or renting a fast lens in the range that meets your needs shooting, and try in different environments where it was shot. If you're not pushing the limits of the lens, it is likely that you will be much slower with an alternative, more enjoyable and economical. Make sure you know your budget and how it participates actively in the photograph. If you plan to trade your computer in a few years, keep in mind that technology is improving, and making a major investment will make more sense if you will get a lot of use out of it.

can i bring this camera with me in MSG?

I am aware that on the site it says

This is the camera policy that I found for MSG here:

http://www.thegarden.com/faq.html

Cameras

Video cameras, monopods, tripods, audio recording devices and cameras with professional telephoto or zoom lenses are NOT permitted inside Madison Square Garden at any time. This policy will be strictly enforced. You may bring in non professional or disposable cameras. However, for some events, cameras of any type and/or flash photography may be completely prohibited. Any photos taken are for personal use only and may not be sold, licensed or distributed.

So if I read this correctly, I would think your 28-80mm would NOT be considered a professional telephoto or zoom lens which would mean it would pass.
