Camera comparison Canon EOS 70D with Canon EOS 60D.Both cameras have a very similar appearance. Canon EOS 70D has a better autofocus feature of the Canon 7D and Canon EOS 70D offers a 20.2 MP sensor APS-C CMOS.

The Best Long Lens Canon

The  Best Long Lens Canon. If you want to get close to a distant subject, you need a telephoto lens. These are ideal for sports and wildlife photography, along with capturing candid shots of people at a distance. They’re also great for getting closer to details in both natural and urban environments which are lost in a larger view. Their broad flexibility coupled with a desire to zoom-closer than a standard kit lens makes a telephoto model the natural choice when most people start shopping for a second lens.

My opinion:

The 55-250 EF-S, the 100-400 L and the Tamron 70-300 VC are all very good lenses and generally quite sharp.

The 70-300 L is sharper, weather sealed and generally a better lens overall, but we are talking margins here. Is it worth the price? Probably not. But I wanted it badly and bought it anyway. I don't regret it. I use it along with my 15-85 as a two-lens kit that covers almost every situation.

The 300 L was sharp, nice and a stop faster so it took a 1.4x converter. But, it was shorter than I wanted and not as flexible without the zoom.

The 400 5.6 L is light and sharp but doesn't have IS and since it isn't a zoom it also isn't as flexible and it takes up a lot of space due to its length.

While the 100-400 L is not quite as sharp as the 70-300 L, it is sharp enough and the extra 100mm is pretty critical for shooting critters.

The 70-300 Tamron is as sharp as the 100-400 and the 55-250, which means it is sharp. It does have a tendency to hunt a little on autofocus sometimes. Not sure what the problem was and it may have just been an anomaly. A minor nuisance, not a deal breaker.

Since the 55-250 doesn't work for your needs (full frame) I would say the lowest cost solution is the Tamron VC. Is it as good as the Canon L? Obviously not, but it's almost $1,000 cheaper. If you don't need a zoom, then maybe the 300 f4 or the 400 f5.6 would work for you, but for the marginal difference in price, I went with the zooms.

I got my 100-400 L as a refurbished. They haven't had it in stock for awhile, but there have been some good prices lately, still, it is also about $1,000 more than the Tamron.

All in all, I'd say the Tamron is the best value 70-300 lens out there next to the 55-250 (which you can't use.) If you need longer length, you are going to pay for it.

Focal Length 40mm Best Lens For Street Photography

Focal Length 40mm Best Lens For Street Photography. The following discussion of the 2 I give a conclusion, if the 35mm and 50mm is too short too long, then put on 40mm. it's easier than you take two lenses, it is not practical. Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 might STM can solve your problem when doing street photography. because the lens is very practical and simple. I think this lens is perfect for street photography
 

          

"So which one is the best? I’m going to come straight out and say that we should remember that it’s always the photographer that makes the images and that the camera and lens are just tools. With that said though, you’ll need the right tool for the job.

I’m inclined to say that this can be an easy tie between the 35mm and 50mm equivalent lenses. They provide enough intimacy and versatility to the users. Though the 24mm and 85mm focal lengths can still do very good jobs, those are more specialty lenses in my eye.

When applying street photography skills to other situations such a weddings or events, I’ve often still found myself reaching for the 35 and 50mm lenses for the same reasons as stated above.

In the end, it’s all a matter of personal tastes, but these lenses are still often your best bet.

Before you buy, you can rent these lenses at Borrow Lenses."

"So 35mm or 50mm ?

As you can see, there are both advantages and disadvantages to the use of these two focals. None of them stands as better then the other one. Ultimately, it will come down to your shooting style preference and your personality, so ask yourself the following kind of question might  :

- do you like to get very close to people ?
- do you shoot mainly portraits of people in the street ?
- do your prefer large depth of field to blurred backgrounds ?
- do you live in an environment with narrow streets or a lot of wide open space ?
- or even, are you tall ? (it is my case, so mounting a 50mm means a lot of bending and kneeling down which is not always convenient)

If still undecided, you could evidently carry the two focal lengths along. I don’t recommend it though. Indeed, these focal lengths are close in field of view so it will be easier to make the two steps forward or backwards instead of losing time in a lens swap.

As for myself, I started shooting with the 50mm focal length and slowly started to drift towards the 35mm field of view. During this long travel, I simply find it more versatile for the variety of shots and locations I face. Also, I find it is usually easier to get closer to my subjects then to back off. Unless, as depicted in the picture below, backing off results a safer decision"
