My wife and I currently have a Canon D350 with Sigma 18-200mm lens, we bought this a while ago as we thought this would suit our needs for fair/good holiday pictures and the range and weight of the lens would be great for us. However, weve now caught the photography bug and having seen professionals on our travels producing some fantastic pictures we feel the need to upgrade to some L-series lenses to start with and possibly a better camera. Ive read lots of info on the net and came up with the following equipment list to aspire to:
1. Either a Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM or Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM (still not sure which is best) to use with our current 350D body.
2. A new 1D body to use a new Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM
3. Supplementary equipment to include a Canon EF 14mm f/2.8 L II USM Lens, a 2x extender, Monopole, Speedlite 580, filters etc.
However, looking at the first item on the list I tried out the Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM at the weekend and although I only had time to test it very quickly outside in bright sunlight I couldnt see much difference between the quality (but I confess I had it on the wrong ISO setting of 800!!!!). So before we go mad and buy anything could we be given some advice on what this expensive equipment will give us and whether its worth the money?
Cheers
