there is a huge price difference for Kenko and Hoya though they are from the same manufacturer. for me the filter is just acting as a protector for the lens, as long as not affecting the picture quality, any brand will do.

Knowing what you shoot more is more crucial. Then only you narrow down the range of the lenses that will help you in ya desired photography field smile.gif

Hi, can i ask one question?

Would a 24-105LIS EF24-105 f/4L IS USM be suited for general purpose. Some out door and in door photo? It is to be paired with a Canon 40D.
*
i'd say yes. more then enough for snapshot and portrait.

L lenses water resistant to a good extent. I usually wash my lenses under running water  if they're dirty and they're fine. But sometimes crap like sand can infiltrate the focusing ring, if that happens, using a needle to scrape inside the ring is the best course of action.

Adding a tightly fitted filter will generally further water proof L lenses, especially ones with moving front elements.

you are one of the craziest ppl...i wonder when u'll go diving with yr lens bare naked. laugh.gif

which type you want first? there are 2 diff types.. ori and knock-off.
The Canon Tripod Mount Ring A II (W) cost at least usd100 and the knock-off ones are around RM150 (sold at YL of course).

it's shares the same tripod collar with 300mm F4L

wow, such a huge difference. what causes the price difference? build quality or another 'canon means luxury thing'?
