mexlad 189 Posted May 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Are they easy to use ? Lol and are the sigma lenses any good I've been looking on eBay and there quite a bit cheaper than the cannon ones ( if they will fit ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mexlad 189 Posted May 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Got my eye on a cheapish canon eos 350d but struggling with the lenses tbh, there's that many it's too confusing, will any 75-300 fit the cannon ? And why do the 75-300. Vary so much in price ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DEADHORSEANDDONKEYDEALER 275 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 After been out of the camera game for a while, i got the chance of a second hand Canon EOS 400D with the standard lense and a Tamron 55-200 most of the photos i have posted on here have been taken with the 55-200 great little set up, stick it on sports mode if your photographing wildlife for the first few times then just get yourself out n about and snap away, try different settings and check the results after all if there no good you can just delete them. check out you tube as someone else has said and before you know it you will be posting your results on here ! let us know what you end up getting ATB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cleanspade 3,324 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 ive tried a few now. i had the 350d and they take very good pics. ive now settled with the nikon as i like the way they are set out and they feel comfortable . the nikon 3000. has a built in help mode. and is a good starter camera. and dirt cheep second hand. this would leave you more money for a good lens .
