damn i would like a 18-200 and a 50-500mm

At the moment i have a Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM and the stock lens that came with my Rebel XT. I pretty much love my 70-300, but i think i could benifit from having a hood.

between that and the 70-200 f/4L.

Great Camera. Has an incredible zoom. Macro is really cool too. The flash is very effective for the price of the cam.
What have you been takin pics of?
Why not post a few pics, and someone could make some recommendations.

[R. Mutt]

nice pics ed.

WRT Sigma lenses:
my most versatile lens for my Canon 40D is a Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 OS (object stabilisation)

its not as fast in autofocus as an L series but it is faster than a 28-135mm IS Canon lens.

18 means you get pretty wide and 200 means you get decent zoom - all in one lens with image stabilisation. Its a great workhorse lens and very very versatile. In fact its so versatile it hardly ever comes off the camera since I hardly ever need to change it!

Sigma is also usually cheaper than Canon - in fact nearly everything is usually cheaper than Canon, even Nikon!

The problem with Sigma and Tamron lenses is that their quality control is not as good as Canon's and you can get a bad copy of a lens, maybe with a softspot somewhere in all your pictures or unsually slow auto focus - the best way to buy a SIgma or Tamron is to go try ti out yourself at a store - and that is difficult for us here in T&T to do.

I have three Sigma lenses
a 10-20mm EX
a 18-200mm OS DC
and a 50-500mm EX

and 1 Canon lens - a fixed 50mm f/1.8

I ordered all through Amazon.com, never had a problem with any - but I've heard some horror stories and lenses having to be returned from other online buyers who werent able to check the lens before purchasing.

would u suggest that if buying online...only buy new, as ebay has those options to buy new too which i am looking at.

scientist, love the 1st 2 pics....wow

Hmmm.. ways.. just saw this ! BAZOOKA ting!

Sigma 200-500 f/2.8 EX DG


As part of Sigma's bumper lens launch, it has announced what might be the ultimate wildlife lens. Sigma claims the APO 200-500 f.2.8 is the world's first lens to offer an f/2.8 aperture at 500mm focal length. It comes with an "attachment" to give users a handy 400-1000mm f/5.6 option. The lens (which is cosmetically reminiscent of a piece of military hardware) weighs nearly 16kg and uses a dedicated Li-ion battery to provide power for focusing and zooming. It will be available in Sigma, Canon and Nikon mounts.

ImprezaDriver, what do you use for post production?
