Prime Lens.... 35 or 50mm?

Cheers Schizo. Would love to see some of your pictures with the 750D.

Was at Jessops over the weekend. Nikon rep there was trying to woo me with the new D7500.
Looked very tasty. Till I saw the price :eek:
 
I use a 35mm on a full frame and it is fine for general shooting. With a 1.5x multiplier, even a 35mm will be more of a portrait lens in my view. So if you are looking for a general purpose prime on APS-C sensor, go for something a bit wider. best of luck.
 
How are you getting on with the RX100?

I would get as much practice as possible before going on holiday.
I don't enjoy learning new camera lingo especially if it's a different manufacturer.

I suppose that's one reason my camera is 4 year old :D

Most were taken with either the sigma 70-200 2.8 or the canon 70-200 2.8

Yes you are right, I'm just in the process of reading the manual and trying to get accustomed to it. Ill certainly let you know!
 
The reason i changed to canon was the canon 70-200 2.8,i have the sigma version and i cant see any real difference between them.

TBH, and I don't want to seem like an arrogant ****, but i think there are more major issues with the photos relating to composition, framing and subject that i would concentrate on. Removing some reflections might help increase colors and contrast but wont improve the aesthetic qualities significantly. The problem with a polarizer is that you will loose around 2 stops, which on a telephoto lens with movement of the subject will cause problems.
 
Your not a arrogant (what ever :)) and i will always listen to recommendations.

Personaly i like them and there are a few that need framing i agree.

In the context of me being someone who never takes or even really looks at cars/motorsport photography it was literally the first thing that jumped out at me.

As DP said there are issues with those shots. But at an event like that where they're not going top speed and racing other cars on a track etc. -- it might be hard to get the speed/danger element into your shots as much as somebody would at a race. Perhaps study some motorsport photography for new ideas on framing, play about with shutter speed and how to show movement etc. With a show like that where cars are on "parade" I'd imagine you need to think somewhat outside of the box with regards to holding the viewer's attention.
