Camera Lens Hood

Camera Lens Hood
what brand of lens can be used for canon 400d? and what accesories are a must to buy for the camera?

accesories like uv filter, lens hood, blah blah blah.. etc.. hahaha and how much for the lens and the accesories? (i don’t want to be cheated when i buy them, i dont want to pay a large sum of money)

To answer your first question, I’d recommend buying just Canon brand lenses. Canon is the only camera manufacturer that still has not licensed their electronics technology to any of the independent lens makers. All the other brands have to “reverse engineer” the electronics to make them compatible. Unfortunately, if Canon makes a change on future DSLRs the lenses may not be 100% compatible. It has already happened on some of the older independent brand lenses that some of the early lenses won’t work on some of the newer cameras. If you plan on staying with the same body forever it might not make a difference but if you ever plan on upgrading (and who doesn’t?) you might get stuck with a lens that won’t work with your new camera.

As far as filters go, there has been quite a bit of discussion as to whether to use a UV filter on DSLRs. There are a lot of shooting situations where the flat surface of the filter can cause problems with the autofocus and image quality. This doesn’t happen with Film Camera because the film isn’t as reflective as the CCD sensors are.

Nikon even says in the D200 instruction manual:

quote…use of a filter is not recommended when the subject is framed against a bright light, or when a bright light source is in the frame. … end quote

If you are going to use a filter make sure it is a high quality, multi-coated filter to cut down on problems.
