actually, i introduced some blur to the picture with photoshop.

sherren, i have the Tamron (now in hospital) and I did test the Sigma a bit and some how i just FEEL that the Sigma is better.

but then as you can see from my shots, the Tamron 70-300 isn't a bad lens for its price.

2.8L = ~USD1.4K
2.8L IS =~USD1.8K
12-24 = ~USD470 

I will get my 580 EX II on 6/2/2008

I'm flying there tomorrow morning flight. ~15+ hours of flight time. (not adding transit etc) and I'll have a "special" "welcome to the USA, please step into the Homeland Security Office to have some coffee" welcome :-)

Sheren : Can you show me some pics of the difference between the lambency and the gary fong of your brothers? I want to know if I can skimp on the USD39.95 price for a GF lightsphere. (TheVOIP says GF much better)

Guys..  which one will fit the 580 EX II ah?? (as in the Gary Fong lah..) And Cloud or Clear??

Now, if you will excuse me, I need to go shave for the "welcoming" event

what telephoto mostly for? bird, cars, sports, any more?

Tele Macro meaning you can use it for both tele and macro?

Thought text free so can get cheaper
Will just drop by and check then out la anyway when im there.

must strike 4D niiii... im not greedy, I just want 5K

I got it for RM 750 new. The performance, well its really good for the price i got, you could check the pictures i posted at my photogallery on my sig (the zoo trip).

White lens look nicer yanno

hello guys, can i know what is the proper way for changing lens? so tt less dust get into the lens and sensor.

thanks. i saw dust in my viewfinder, blew it out just now.

here got 2 lens, sigma 70-300 and canon ef 75-300. what do you think about this 2 telephoto? which one is better?

why not sigma?
need explaination from all sifus..

Yes, save it. Highly recommended.

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.

anyway I've no problem recommending the Sigma 70-300 and Tamron 70-300. they're good low-end tele lenses.

but siggy got macro worr?

yoohoohhoo
finally got myself 17-40 L

the flash will zoom to max, 105mm.. no prob at all

how much u buy it?
