lens hood...can IS lens hood im not too sure what is that,but if ur asking if the lens hood can be fitted to any lens with the same diameter..usually yes
but u gotto take note..sometimes at minimal zoom ull get to see part of the hood if its too long.

@myjunk
thanks, yea the lens does do a good job at not so poor lighted conditions.
im abit worried now as well as my lens IS was abit whacky during the 1st few shots, IS was on and images come out as tho it was shaking badly. looks like those pics u take when u have IS on and ur camera is mounted to a tripod.

time to send in my lens for a check?

sauce of him sayin he jumping ship?

i do feel canon isnt keeping up with nikon, but at the end of the day..the questions hits back.do u need all those, whatever features they have. and all the lenses you've spend on...worth giving up to go over?get a 2nd system maybe la..go nikon n canon.

i got a stupid question, how would u say uve fully utilized ur camera?take pics till u cannot get wat u want?
