The best is point ur body downwards, when u wanna change lens use ur left hand to take out the current lens on the body, on your right hand be hold the other lens standby then just masuk in when u take off the current lens on the body itself, then quickly take the cap and close the rear cap of the lens u took it out .

I bought it in US. Got my friend here to buy it for me and ship locally. I will pick it up from him when it arrives on the 6th.

I got it for ~USD350

I'm still thinking of getting another 1 or 2 to bring back if anyone's interested. But most ppl here worried of warranty.

wah so cheap! but the price is ok for now warranty lo.

that's the 1st reason you gave when people ask.

is that the best reason you can come up with?

did you know that some reports found that the Sigma 70-300 is the best among low-end tele and the Canon ranks around middle / back of the few lenses compared?

anyway my point is. warranty issue is just 1 factor and you're probably the first I've ever come by to tell someone to get a lens just because of warranty issue. c'mon la, there's other issues like build quality and output quality. smile.gif

anyway I've no problem recommending the Sigma 70-300 and Tamron 70-300. they're good low-end tele lenses.
*
so, sigma tamron is low end. i know high end is on the L glass lens, what about mid end?

try the sigma 18-200 OS (optical stabilizer)

the tamron 18-250 doesn't have it and can be quite a challenge when using at 250mm

can anyone tell me what is the price of 24-70 2.8L USM in M'sia? It's USD899 here on expresscamera vs 1+k on amazon.

Darn it.. now dilemma between the 24-70 2.8L USM (1kg) vs the 70-200 2.8L IS (USD 1129)

the 70-200 is so big and heavy, I'm trying to see how often I would take this lens out and say, go snap-snap in 1 Utama if got events there.

my 55-250 isn't much usable under low light leh.. That's y the dilemma now.

I searched the forum, but don't see any prices on this one lah.

buy flash. =D

hey guys.
getting a wide-tele is better

OR

a wide zoom lens like tamron 17-50 f2.8 + a telephoto zoom lens is a better combination?

what do you guys think?
