When creativity ends up quarreling with the economy it causes great frustration. Your mind goes far beyond your checking account and you even get angry. That's why today I bring you this article with some cheap Canon (or compatible) lenses with which you can exploit your creativity.
1. PANCAKE EF-S 24MM F / 2.8 STM
This is my last toy and it has become my favorite, almost above the one I'm going to talk to you next. It is not so bright but it does have a focal length that allows me to cover more scene angle. It is a 24mm that converts, into an APS-C camera by the conversion factor , in about 35mm. I specify this because it is an EF-S, or what is the same, which is not valid for full frame cameras.CHARACTERISTICS
It is an objective with an ultra-compact design and with a perspective similar to that of the human eye that offers great sharpness and luminosity.- Diaphragm Blades: 7

2. THE PRINCE OF THE OBJECTIVES: EF 50 MM, F / 1.8 STM
We have talked about this goal a lot in the blog, both of life in 50mm and this one in particular that offers a maximum aperture of f / 1.8. If you are a follower of the blog you will have read Mario's recommendations about the king of the goals many times , what happens is that this is more expensive and not all pockets can afford it. The difference between the king and the prince ? One step. from f / 1.4 to f / 1.8. Does it justify the price difference? Yes, that step justifies it, but that does not mean that it is necessary to spend what it costs more. The prince is really creative, allows an impressive bokeh and is very affordable. I am very happy with my prince and the truth, although that step I have sometimes missed, I have done very, very well with him.CHARACTERISTICS

3. FISHEYE (58MM)
This fisheye converts a standard target into a fisheye . It is not a goal to shoot daily, or to always carry on. But it will allow you to squeeze your creativity to the fullest and have fun playing with what you like most, photography. And for a really laughing price. You have to keep in mind that you must fit it into another compatible lens, such as the EF-S 18-55mm f / 3.5-5.6, which usually comes with the kit.- Filter thread size: 58mm
