Sold it to make way for a new 6D

I've hired many lenses from Lenspimp over the years. Excellent service Lenses For Hire while a bit more expensive have a much better system in place

Thanks. It's a 2yr Foundation Degree with a 3rd year option for BA

Morning all. I've not been on here for ages. Having been a long time hobbyist tog I decided to take it further. I was getting a bit tired of working as someone else's slave and when I moved out of the county I took it as an ideal opportunity to make a change. After submitting some work and...

I was gonna mention Lehmanns, ive bought spares from them before.

I was just gonna post this thread myself. I'll just join in this one. I have a 30D, and the obvious choice of an upgrade would be the 7D. I did want the 5D MKII but I have quality EF-S lenses i'm more than happy with. I also shoot lots of wildlife and Santa might be bringing me a Bigma for xmas...

I have the Tokina 11-16mm on my 30D and I find it better than the Canon 10-22mm. All I found with the Canon, although I liked it was that it suffered from fringing quite badly. Something i've never had with the Tokina. I shoot it at f5.6 most of the time and have never needed it to go more than...

How close do you want to get? I bought the Canon 100mm f2.8 but sold it within a week as I can get twice as close to my subjects with the Raynox DCR-250 lens attatched to my 18-200mm. I bought the Raynox for £40 on amazon, although it has limits and has restricted use I find it pretty damn good...

Isn't the Jack Pyke stuff silent, weatherproof and toasty?

Cheers for that. Suppose the bonus of buying the f2.8 IS then is that you can get a 400mm f5.6 out of it too. Hmm. Not sure now, i'd have liked to use it as a 400mm at times but f8 is gonna need lots of light. Decisions.

Just found these lenses new on Warehouse Express for £475. I had planned to get a teleconvertor but if i used to 2x Canon on this f4 lens what would that convert my aperture to, and how do you work it out. Anyone know if there's anything I should look for, fault-wise in this lens? It did all...

I got it wrong actually, code is UX0619 making it June 2009. The collar is a genuine one, I've seen the price of them and know they aren't cheap. He mentioned a £370 price so I reckon he'd let me have it for £350.
