Nice lenses BannedKappa, always fun getting new lenses. I got a 50mm 1.8 too!
i got these a week ago, they are old four third lenses designed for 35mm film SLR's. but they work on my GF1 with an adapter, manual focus though. -
OM 50mm f1.8-
makes my GF1 look like this -
and a 135mm f3.5 -
not really tested them out properly, but ive found the 50mm f.18 for £20, is fantastic, very sharp! would have paid 90 for it and been happy.

nice, Hombre! I am a fan of old lenses on new cameras - I sport a pentax 50mm f1.2 on my canon 30d/t2i:

- old lenses kickass
canon is shit regarding this issue. you can't use old lenses on new bodies, because of the mount, fuck that! i had a nikon FE2 wich is a lovely camera, the design, the mechanics, the feeling, everything! i made this bad and sold it to get a analog canon to use my 'digital' lenses, and i found out after all old canons are shit.shoto_can - you canot use old Canon lenses, but with a small converter you can use all Nikkor, some Zeiss, Leica & Panavision lenses :-)Jurre

ooooo
nice aperture, get some sharp pics with it?
i find my f1.8 50mm @ f1.8 does some ghosting, but at 2.8 its very very sharp. ill post some pics later!

Dude the plane of focus at f1.2 is so shallow, I have to bracket the focus when I want a shot... like take 5 photos, rotating the focus ring a little bit between each photo. I don't really know if the lens is actually "sharp" or not since I only use it wide open - I have a proper canon EF 50mm f1.4 that has autofocus for when I don't need f1.2.

Here's a shot taken at f1.2 (kind of a large file):
- that wasnt the best way to prove your 1.2 outside its better. this just looks like a bad focus photo in the studioshoto_can
- this was a commissioned photo.bigtrickagain

What card would you guys recommend for recording video?
I understand it needs to be "Class 6"But any brands in particular? I would love to get a really good card, so please let me know what would you recommend, I really value opinions from experienced users here.
cheers
- I actually have a 500d, but I didn't want to start a thread just for that.Miguex

I think the best thing you can ask is what kind of photography will you be shooting, and what level of experience you have, as opposed to what is best, because.. different strokes.. well you know.Also, a good tip is that on flickr you can search images based on both, camera model and lens. This will give you a great perspective on what kind of shots you can get if you don't have the option of trying before buying.

yeah I should've asked more succinct questions Miguex, so ty for the advice. I'll be shooting some portraits, definitely a fair bit of product photography, and some outdoor use.
