Hello everyone
Sorry for another dumb q.
I am looking in getting some new lens for my 400D. I thought it's prob the best time to ask now as the sale is on.
Just a few quick questions. I know it may seem long but please bare with me.
1. I went to my local camera shop today and seen that there was a sigma 70-300mm for £180ish BUT noticed there was a 70-200mm for about £240. I have always wondered how come the 200 is always cheaper than the 300mm?? I know the lens is smaller and prob abit easier to carry around but is it worth that £60?? Plus you get more of a zoom with the 300, right?
2. Can anyone advice me which lens to get? I have the stock lens (18-55) but I want something with a Zoom so I can take some close up pics in the zoo. I know there is alot to choose from but I just want something that isnt too expensive and does the job. I am only using it for casual snapping . The other lens I want is more of a wide angle lens. can I pick one of those cheap-ish?? Like I said. I dont want top of the range. I just want something that I can mess about with esp the wide angle lens.
3. I dont know weather to get the lenses here while they are on a sale (esp the canon because I can get even more off from cash back) OR wait till march when I am going back over to hong kong. I know it's alot cheaper over there but will it be as cheap as the sale price over here?? plus I will get garantee here. Iv asked my uncle but about the prices over there but he doesnt know as he dont often go to the camera shops over there.
Sorry for the newb questions.
Thanks in advance
