Canon, what do you reckon to this as a walk about lens ?

Do you reckon it comes with a lens hood and free lens pouch ?

Walk about lens? Well... I suppose it depends if you're talking about a crop body or FF? :nuts:

It has a focusing distance of 18 -32 MILES away

Oh Yea,, I've got two of them. I use them to keep fit running up and down the length of it to adjust the polarizing filter.

No use for photographing the moon, then?

Does it come with a tripod? :shrug:

 

[Galaxy66]

Don't see a problem so long as it has wheels fitted.

 

[Wildlight]

No it doesn't come with a tripod but they do include a free crane, which is only to be expected at that price.

Does it come with a tripod? :shrug:

No, but it does come with it's own track to move it on

Well as long as i get a good lens pouch i dont mind. DO lowepro or tamrac make a bag that resistant

 

[AndrewA123]

can it be used hand held ?

Apparently the IS isn't up to much - effective enough but not too portable, being 2 tonnes of concrete....
