As mentioned in issue eight on lighting, the use of side-lighting and backlighting is the hallmark of the professional. If you were ever told to discard any attempt of using backlighting and use only front lighting for all your intended subjects, you don't know what you are missing. Backlighting images form one of the best visuals ever created in photography. You should try it. And Canon's Super Spectra Coating in its EF lenses ensures that subjects being photographed via backlighting won't lack detail or flat contrast.
Canon makes three grades of lenses
for its EF line-up. The budget-priced EF lenses, those that come with plastic mounts
and use either the Micro Motor (MM) or Micro USM, are designed especially for beginners
and amateur users. They are the EF 28-80mm/3.5-5.6 IV USM, EF 35-80mm f/4-5.6 USM,
EF 80-200mm f/4.5-5.6 USM, EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM. The non-USM lenses of the
same focal lengths are those that incorporate the Micro Motor for the AF feature.
The EF 50mm f/1.8 II also uses the Micro Motor and is part of the beginners' lenses. |
