Hi Marc, 1100D is a good Camera, I had one just before the 40D and was impressed with it. I used the 55-250mm with my first DSLR the 350D, then the 1100d and now the 40d and it still delivers ,you would be hard pushed to get anything better at the price. It will cope with most if not all your...

Hi Marc, it would help to know what make of camera you intend using it on. A zoom lens will give you more options . As a guide, I myself use a Canon 40d, in this instance I would recommend the Canon 55-250mm F4-5.6 zoom with IS. It is available from www.valuebasket.com/Canon‎ for £103.00...

Ernesto Sorry I cannot claim to have nicknamed the 55-250mm the "Nifty two Fifty", that was done back in April 2008 by one of the contributors to this thread http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=459569 and it has stuck. John;)

Well done James, as you live in Brighton have you considered the WWT at Arundel. John:)

I agree, well said Andy...and I will take your correction on board. I come into contact with many wheelchair users in my day job and have nothing but admiration for the way they take all that life can throw at them and still come through with a positive attitude. Nattelie, if you do decide...

Nattelie, how does this so called friend expect you to get the required pictures of the christening considering your wheelchair bound? I know that at the time that Julian(wheels) had his wheelchair modded , I remember that Cowasaki made some small mods to your chair, would these mods enable...

Alan, have a look at this thread, it contains 232 pages of pictures taken with the nifty-fifty. I found it an amazing insight as to what this lens can do. http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=1059085 John:)

Everyone has a different opinion on these lenses, but results speak for themselves. check out these threads, I did and ended up with the 1.8 version and am very pleased with it. http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=139085...

I have just opened a birthday present and found it is a lens mug. It is a 28-135mm L mug, are these mugs made to the same size as the real lenses? Must admit it does look realistic from a distance. John:)
