This is one of those threads. Some of you are aware of my photography journey from my last few posts. At this point, my wife's photography needs are satisfied with the new SL1 and 18-55mm STM lens. It is a massive improvement over the older XTi w/ 17...
I have read a lot about APS-C sensors and the differences between EF and EF-S lenses. I still have two remaining questions regarding how EF-S lenses are marketed. 1) Do EF-S lenses need to have the 1.6x factor applied for effective focal length or ar...
I will be upgrading soon from an XTi to either a T5i or SL1. I dont have the original lens for the XTi and I dont plan to use the STM lens that the new camera comes with. I was going to give my old camera to a friend by putting the kit lens on it. Wi...

Given the other responses, I have a challenge/project for you. You have a dead lens, while it is now incapable of doing its job, lots of people would love to see detailed pictures of the internals of these lenses, but dont dare crack their own precio...
To add to what TCampbell has said, I figured I would share an example. I am pretty new to photography and I recently took the SL1, with kit 18-55 STM, added a 10x diopter filter (part of a $12 "Polaroid" set from amazon.com) and took the picture link...
Thank both of you for the information. My hope was that the 60mm macro would be a great product lens as well as do the jewelry and authenticity tag macro work with great sharpness. My wife has to work quickly tho and it is a deal breaker to have to s...
