New Lens by Michael Leyba

Jump to Comments

I recently purchased a new lens for my Canon digital SLR. I bought a Canon L-Series 70-200mm zoom lens. It is a beauty. It has USM which is a ultrasonic motor that provides fast and quiet autofocusing. I used the lens last night for the first time in a portrait session. The results were great. I bought a neutral density filter for it and that was very cool.

The lens is a great addition to my other lenses. I have another favorite lens that is the Canon 28-135mm Image Stabilizing Zoom lens. It is great for portraits. I bought the new lens primarily for outdoor work due to it’s sharpness and autofocusing capability.

I also have a regular 50mm lens and the lens that came with the camera, an 18mm-55mm lens. I like this lens for general use, but don’t use it much in the studio.

I have a Tokina 17-35mm lens, but I don’t use it much since it is difficult to focus on distant objects. I also have a 75-300mm Canon zoom lens that I love for the sharpness and also the telephoto capability. It is the equivalent of almost a 500mm lens when used with the smaller digital sensors.

I think lens are a great asset to any photographer and it is great to have a variety of lens to use.

Thanks for listening.
