Canon 50mm Lens - It Can Be A HeartbreakerIf there is one lens every photographer needs, it is a Canon 50mm lens. I have had more than one in my camera bag.My research is complete (I hope) and conclusive. You can't bounce a Canon 50mm lens off the conrete and expect it to perform well afterwards.I hope I don't get emotional as I relate the story here.I knew early on that I needed a 50mm as part of my kit, but price was a concern, so I purchased an f/1.8. You may be familiar with that one. It is extremely inexpensive at about $100. It has a great reputation for quality, in spite of its plastic construction. I planned to take good care of it, so plastic was not a concern for me.What happened could have happened to anyone. In fact, I had read of a similar incident only a few days BEFORE my own accident.

I went into mourning over the loss of a dear friend.I had to do something to bring my world back into perspective, so, naturally I bought another lens. But this time, I upgraded to a Canon 50mm f/1.4. I paid more than $350...more

But diesel and electric engines, while faster than steam locomotives, don't have quite the same charm and romance as a chuffing, chugging plume of steam zig-zagging across the open countryside, through mountain-hewn tunnels and over picturesque bridges.The remaining steam locomotives in Britain are used almost exclusively for sightseeing these days. And nowhere is this truer, perhaps, than in the Snowdonia region of North Wales, where a trip on a narrow gauge steam railway is one of the nicest ways to enjoy the mountains, coast, lakes and lush countryside of Snowdonia, whatever the weather.Snowdonia is home to a number of narrow gauge, miniature and model railways, and the following are ten of the best of these.1. Fairbourne Steam RailwayBeginning its life at 2ft gauge in 1895, The Fairbourne Steam Railway was converted to 15-gauge in 1916 and played an important role the development of 15-gauge railways in the UK.
