thanks again for the replies everyone. I'm going to meet up with him in an hour or so so I'll be able to check it out. 99% of the time I carry my camera in a bag on my shoulder and not around my neck so I don't think I'll be too worried by it creeping in that position. I guess when it would...

Cheers for the reply. I've looked around and it seems to be quite common on this lens. It occurs in the review by cameralabs and the review seems to take it in his stride as if it's normal.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone with a 15-85 has experienced lens creep? Is it something that is likely to occur over time and worsen? The reason I ask is because I'm looking to buy a second hand 15-85 and the owner mentioned it has developed a bit of lens creep. I'm not sure if I want to get...

it definitely does give good perspectives, i thought that you were implying the real fish eye style ones though, my mistake. maybe i'm getting too used to using it, haha.

I use my 10-20 on a 50d cropped sensor so it doesn't give the funky perspective that it might on others. I still find myself using it quite a lot and do have quite a few pics at 10mm, especially when abroad and just taking photos of streets and buildings etc. then again i might use the 20mm+...

Yea, that's what I'm thinking, that it would become my most used lens. It just seems very versatile and the sample images i've seen look really sharp. I guess I'm just a bit worried of losing the extra wide angle at the 10mm end, but on the other hand i think it would open up other options being...

Hi, I currently have a sigma 10-20 which is a nice lens to use. however i find that while it's good for fitting in that extra detail, it also limits me when walking around if I don't want to change lenses every 5mins. I am tempted to sell it to raise money for a canon 15-85 but I can't...

nice work, the bike/cliff one is great... i'm beginning to get a headache from trying to see how he might have done that.

ahh okay, i hadn't heard of those before. There are some great videos out there using them, too bad it isn't quite as simple as adding some wheels to my tripod then, lol.

that was great. how would you do something like that? would you need a tripod on wheels to get the smooth movement?

This is good advice. I was having trouble getting good shots of the snow a few weeks ago until I read about the issues with the camera meter. Increasing the exposure compensation by 1 really helped and stopped the dark/blueish tint I was getting before.

Looks like a great deal. If it seems photograph friendly then I'd definitely be tempted if it weren't a 2 hour train journey for me.

I spent a winter in Canada where it dropped to -45. I turned up completely unprepared and went to wal-mart where I found a pair of boots on sale for about $30. They had a thinsulate lining and are super warm so it could be worth gambling on waiting until you get there. The brand had the humorous...
