For my cousin’s wedding I wanted to have a f/2.8 lens.  I had had bad luck with my current lenses at Richard’s wedding because I couldn’t get good enough low light performance.  So I decided to rent a Canon EF 24-70mm L f/2.8 lens.  So not only will it be an f/2.8, but it will also be an L lens so this should be the best quality photos I have ever taken.  After a lot of looking around, I ended up choosing Pro Photo Rental.

Recently I got my fifth lens, the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II, Canon’s entry-level nifty fifty lens.  This is the cheapest lens Canon makes and, build-wise, it shows.  Unlike the other lenses I own (even the kit lens), the 50mm is very plastic-looking and plastic-feeling.
