Yes, I suspected that was the case. Thanks for clearing that up. :thumbs: Shooting moving objects isn't something I have tried very much but I would like to get into it some time, so it maybe getting a lens with IS wouldn't be such a bad idea. I'll see what I can find. :) Thanks again!

Hmmm. That is an interesting point you bring up there. I was unaware that using those Tele convertor's would result in a loss of quality (although now that I think about it it's not really surprising). I wonder though if it would be better to stick with something a little more straight forward...

Two very interesting lenses there. The 70-300 IS USM is one that I am grow particularly interested in so it's good to see another good word being put in for it. The 70-200 F2.8 is another great looking lens, though perhaps a little expensive for me right now (Oh curse my student life style...

That lens is not one that I had previously thought of to be honest, but it does sound like a very good one (as long as I'm looking at the right one: http://www.onestop-digital.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=24_26&products_id=144). After reading a couple of reviews it definitely sounds like a...

Another good option that one. It certainly caught my eye when I was looking around. Just to be sure though, is it this one you mean? http://www.onestop-digital.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=24_26&products_id=167 Just making sure. ;) Thanks for the suggestion! I'll keep it in mind. :)

I had a quick look and they certainly sound like the sort of thing I was thinking of. Thanks for letting me know. :thumbs: But tell me something; is having IS really worth paying extra for? None of the lenses I've had have that capability so I was just wondering if it was worth the money. It...

Hi guys! I really need some advice about lenses, as I’m at a bit of a loss at the moment. When I look at all of the options for various lens on the internet I just become completely confused, so please bear with me. I’m still in the learning phase (when it comes to equipment anyway :))...

I asked this exact same question on this forum a couple of months ago. I wanted to upgrade and move on from the old kit lens just like you and the one lens that was recommended over and over again was the Sigma 17-70mm. After hearing all of that praise I went for it (bought it from...

Yes, I've heard of that one and it has definately tickled my interest. It's just the sort of thing I was thinking of actaully. Thanks for the suggestion! I really appreciate it! :)

Hi there! Thanks for the welcome! :)

Ahh! I see! It all makes perfect sense now! Thanks for clearing that up! :thumbs:

Hi there G Dem! It's nice to hear from another newb! And thanks of the advice! That lens does look good and is definitely one I will be keeping in mind, especially as I've heard that Sigma are a good make. I'm also looking for a better quality zoom too, nothing to big, just a 70 or 80mm...

Oh wow! You’re with deviantArt too. Awesome! So am I. That is where my main gallery and hangout is. :D I'll have to put a link to my page in my signature here to spend the word a little. ;) I'll go and check out your page now. :)

Oh, by the way, when you said the sigma 24-70 I found a few that looked simpler so could you provide a link please? Sorry to be a pain!

:thankyou:
