Terra Firma 136 Posted June 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Some good replies there lads, just what I was after,from people with experience out in the field. As what is great for most people won't suit what I/we want in the field whilst out. I've got plenty to think about and research now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Best shot i ever took, well, one of em, was on a 18-55 kit lens and a 300D , or was it a 350 D...i can't quite remember. Anyway, my advice would be to forget raw, forget changing camera, invest in some serious glass. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Terra Firma 136 Posted June 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) Right lads, thanks for all the advice, I think that a decent lens is in order then! Whilst learning to get the most out of my setup before spending a small fortune on a new body. Next question! What size lens do you recommend?

What size lens do you recommend? how deeps your pocket if money is no object then an L lens 70 - 200 f2,8 or the cheaper f4 the IS does make a difference with hand held shots Quote Link to post Share on other sites

J Darcy 5,871 Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 prime all the way, my 70-200 isnt crisp enough for me...not a patch on the 300 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

the monkey 338 Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 I use Nikon and agree prime lenses are miles sharper I use a 300mm f4. Pin sharp....it's an old lens but takes good shots Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the monkey 338 Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 I find 70 200 too short for lurcher pics Quote Link to post Share on other sites
