(I haven't looked at these numbers in 20 years) I was looking at the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Camera Lens. It's just $119, but they have another 50mm lens that f/2.8. It cost $400. I guess it captures more light? And I'm not sure whether to go with a 50mm or 60mm or 70mm? I think the smaller mm they are the closer you can get? But I also take it that they would all be good for artwork because of the fine flat construction of the macro lenses? | |
