Hi all, what do you guys use for your trophy shots? I have been looking at canon 50mm 1.8 or the 35mm, im inclined on the 50mm due to the price but dont want it breaking after a few mobths use. I would also like to use it for potraits and scenic shots, I have a canon 600D if that makes any difference.
Thanks in advance, Andrew

The 35mm wide angle would be IMO a better bet as on occasions you can be stuck for space and you don't want to mess about moving backwards with a fish to get everything in. It also gives you a crop option should you need it.
On the portrait front the most recommended lens is a 70mm or 90mm which gives you the option of moving back from the object.
A short zoom lens would be needed to hit all these applications from wide angle to telephoto
A fast lens is also better in low light, which would cost more but probably worth it in the long run.
On the landscape front a medium wide angle lens such as the 35mm is what you most often see recommended.
On the cash front you could get a good second party lens for less than a Canon. Do some searches on the web and have a look at some independent reviews.

Your welcome Andy. Most Canon cameras when brought with a lens attached it is usually their EFS 18-55mm zoom lens.
It's a 3.5-5.6 which is not that fast but it has image stabilization and focus down to a nice close distance.
The 18mm end is a lot wider than the 35mm lens and 55mm makes a good semi portrait lens. People call it a kit lens but it is a lot better than that

I use a 35mm f1.8 on my nikon, as john said it is ideal for trophy shots or self taking 50mm is a bit to narrow.
Took a few more bug shots yesterday
