As a beginner to all this dslr photography I dont want to re-mortgage the house until I know if i'm going to advance beyond auto mode.

Just wondering about the quality of these cheaper options.

Otherwise considering a 50mm f1.8 canon version at £80, or 50mm f1.4 at £250 is it worth the extra money for the 35mm f1.4

Lens question

Has anyone used any lenses by a company called samyang. They do a 35mm f1.4 wide angle prime lens to fit canon for about £350 with a 3 year warranty, that I was considering buying. Just wondering what the quality is like. I know Tamron and sigma make accepted cheaper alternatives are these samyang lenses on par with those??

Think the canon version is about £1200 so cant afford one of those.

Thanks for the replies guys, its all a bit complicated but i will have a go at loading the canon software, im sure I tried it with the usb lead and it did the same thing. I do have a kodak camera software loaded on which may be interfeering with it in some way so i will take that off first then load up the canon stuff and see what happens.

Memory card goes in the slot on the front of the pc then the camera wizard comes up and follow instructions. it is not a specific canon software though so that might be a problem.
It loads up everything on the memory card except photo's taken in M setting. There are over 500 photo's on this card too, I really dont know why it keeps doing this..

Can anyone help?? I have a canon G5 and when uploading photo's I cant upload anything taken in M setting. They appear on the camera but I cant get them to transfer to the computer with the photos taken in Auto. Is there something else i need to be doing??
