MuttleMcTuttle 21 Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 70-200mm f/4l which is around £700 Is that supposed to be the IS??,or do you mean the L?.If it's just the ordinary f/4L at that price I'd start shopping somewhere else because at that price it's a friggin rip-off! IMH i would only ever buy canon converters, i have tried sigma and they are not as good and, i think, a waste of cash....good luck.. I have a Jessops converter which works perfectly and the AF is spot on,not everyone is made of money like you Darsey! :stinker: It would seem a pity to splash out on L glass and then nail a bit of Jessop's finest on the end though...

Works well if needed (which is'nt often),you'd be surprised how well.They are made by Tamron so they're not exactly rubbish.Discontinued now I believe. I'm buggered if I'm going to pay £200 for a Canon. Stick to the caged birds&mice,stuffed hares and tanked newts you weird little ugly ginger bender Darsey! Hey...Who's lost his Teddy Bear? Those homophobic comments cut me to the quick!! Nasty man! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The 18-55 kit lens will be useful at 18mm when you want to take photos of that pretty house by the lake, pylons in the sunset, a wider view of the swans, whacky close up shots of the hounds, trees, groups of people, that kind of thing. At the 55mm end it'll be ok for closer potraits of dogs and people, closer details of trees, flowers and buildings, but you won't be able to get very close to bugs, so they'll be quite small in the picture. Still a very useful lens, lightweight and good for the wider, bigger picture. Which 70-200 lens were you thinking of getting? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
