yup. 70-200 F2.8L IS USM is also damn heavy too!

i'm eyeing on the 70-200 F4L. probably go for IS version. problem is the IS version is like going to break my bank even further.

Poison, poison.

The L is deadly...
I seldom use the Kitlens, can anyone try convince me why should I use it?

is the photos found here enough to convince you
a few pages back some one posted even better photos using the kit lens

Thank You, will make use of the kit lens at its full potential, thank you.

why not, the next outing be a camp or some sort? where we can shoot nature and MACRO!

u mean this???
haha....

2.8L Is is selling @RM5.7K in Japan and RM5.2K (before 7% Tax) in the US. (Me going USA soon mah..)

From FTZ


but that price is really VERY expensive leh..
The F4L IS is much cheaper (~900 USD) and the non IS version is even cheaper at USD530 (RM1.7k new)




decision..decision..decision

Why should you use kit lens?

Added on January 10, 2008, 1:56 amI'd like to add. people will eventually progress from their kit lens as there are many better lens out there, but that doesn't mean kit lens can't produce nice images.

not sure but i think this 18-55 kitlens is sharper than my 75-300 USM III lens... datz y it sticks on the body longer than the 75-300 ... owh, n i sold off my 75-300 as i become redundant with 18-250... uhuhuhuhuhu

agreed... kit lens can produce nice images also... just that we have to fully utilize it...

dun underestimate our kitlens. during putrajaya outing last sunday..seems several rebel using kitlens to capture wide angle. and the result very unvelivable.u can see those pic at photomalaysia. like one side..its not bout camera..its bout photogapher behind it
sigma APO 170-500? very poison me


18-250? what brand? canon?

fcbarcelona-my, its a Tamron..

Never underestimate the kit lens! though i yearn to replace it lol... after long considering im now eying on the 10-22mm. Because the 12-24 sigma doesnt accept filters, though there's a way to fix it but im tight on my budget lol.

And i just found out that at 22mm, the EFS 10-22mm can do portraits, no distortion at all

Whenever it comes to photography, it is not the lens or body that you own but a matter of the skills that you have when capturing a certain image and also to possess the third eye.

guys,

What kind of tripod are you using? mine DigiEye TR35

Not very convincing la, with kit lens ok la, but with my sigma very heavy ooo...i dont really trust the tripod lol,, Jatuh..boleh matiii oooo,

How to upload big picture here, just to put some sample with my new sigma...

the OS function really works laa,

Hmm ... I've always preferred prime lenses for portraitures. Hee.

y using those pict repeating? seriously i don see any special about them no offend ya

I actually quite like the "Discovering My Father's Garden"; the composition is there and it looked really abstract with the touch of silkiness in the photograph. If the colour is a little bit contrasted, it'd be even better; IMO.

But anyway, well done goldfries.

Im using the Manfrotto 190 XPRO B Tripod + 804 RC2 3 way head.

hehe, at 22mm its a 35mm equivalent to a full frame sensor, so stick to that then its a prime

I have seen some nice portraitures using the 10-22
btw anyone use the 1st version of Canon 100mm f2.8 macro before, the one with no USM
