Possibly not the most accurate section to put this in, but I suspect that there are more people who have bought equipment that look in this bit more often.
I have a 'budget' of possibly '1 box' to upgrade my current stuff.
Do you know of any suppliers of equipment that would entertain bundles of equipment together, possibly at a slightly reduced cost?
I am looking at the 50d, as the upgrade. I have the 28-135 IS, and the 70-300 IS (and 18-55+50)
I want extra reach, and faster glass, and better glass.
None of this is given by the 50d, I know. But, I am hoping that the better ISO handling of the 50d will be almost as good as a faster glass update for the 28-135. (in the way that I need it, depth of field is not something I am too concerned with, and will use the 50/1.8 in the few situations where I will care about it. Althoug, if I won the lottery, then I would by all 2.8 and not bother with this thread)
Better pixels don't make for a better picture, and just because the camera is better, it doesn't make the lens any better or worse IQ wise. But it might allow me a higher shutter speed.
There appear to be three kits for the 50d, none of which really excite me.
50d+ 17-85IS. The lens is meant to be OK, but not as good as the 17-55IS. I think I can survive without this at the mo, would prefer the 17-55
50d+ 18-200mm non IS. I wanted any long focal length lenses to have IS, so I really see no benefit to me at the moment (unless someone is going to tell me that the IQ is 100 times better than the 28-135 IS) (for the 70-300mm the IS is very useful AFAIC)
50d+ 17-85 IS & EF 70-300 IS, same as the first lens, and I have the second one.
So I am wondering whether there is anyone who might entertain a
50d+ 100-400 IS, and make a 'reduction' for a bundle?
I think that this lens will give me the extra reach I want, and is faster. Also, I am considering the 24-105 IS as a possible next upgrade in the future (for IQ purposes only), and would complement the 100-400 IS, just (I would prefer more overlap, but...)
Ideas? Or am I completely barking up the wrong tree?
