Try a Jessops 2x, Surprisingly good IQ, and fits most lenses where others fail....£80 brand new last time I looked...worth a punt ?! Russ

Thanks mate, I'll give it a whirl Russ

I'm just experimenting with HDR for the first time...the ones I've tried so far are coming out..ermm I don't know....'looking a bit like paintings rather than images' is the best way i can describe it. Any suggestions please ? Example Bigger So far I'm just using the basic tone mapping...

Just my twopenneth worth.... From what you've said, i'd say try a few better lenses, and really decide what type of photography you enjoy the most....from what i've read so far....a 7D doesn't really fit the bill ....that more suits someone in to BIF and fast moving subjects.... read some...

Agree, from the snippets i've read so far, there doesn't seem much to tempt people to pay £360, when you can get the mk1 for £130 now :thinking::shrug:

Anybody heard anything yet ? google not showing and reviews yet...I thought they would of released some for review as it's due for release imminently ? Sorry if i'm repeating a thread, but couldn't see another

Another slight distortion adjustment Full size

Cheers for the input Andy....I've looked at it so long ive gone boz-eyed...that distortion correction has been a bit of a mare, i've Straightened, Perspective corrected, Distorted and warped and done it all again trying to get it something like...that's why I felt a bit of input might help :thumbs:

I was looking through some old pics and came across this Full size I thought id have another mess as I never really got it anything like...I think I'm getting there ?? Full size How'm I doing ?

Hi James You don't give any idea on price range ?...but take a look at the 24-105L....it sounds about right for what your looking for...a lot of peoples favourite lens on here, you can pick them up for 5-600 quid

Cheers Richard Here are a couple of side-by-side comparisons I did with a 55-250IS....I think the images speak for themselves tbh Russ

Andy it is the 75-300IS that he has.....when he was looking for one...he nearly bought a 70-300 non is by mistake and remember saying to him that was the wrong version, I don't recall the 70-300IS being an option at the time, either because we didn't know one was available or it was at a much...

I think you must be right...i'll check ...

Thanks for your input guys Just to clarify, it is the 75-300 IS version, as stated in the OP, I'm a bit confused here, because I while back when I first joined and was looking for my first longer zoom, the common theme was 'go for the the 55-250IS which is very good or if you can stretch...

Very helpful lol...I've heard the 70-300 is soft...but not heard much bad about the 75-300 ?:thinking: Cheers Phil I tested it against a 55-250...and it was not in the same class, does seem very soft comparatively....definitely not 'L' class....it might be worth him trying a service...
