Decided to buy some decent glass for my 60d. Cant wait for an opportunity to use it now, definitely an upgrade on the standard 18-55mm kit lens I have :D 1 by cookie200sx, on Flickr

Not sure if this is the right place for this so appologies if I've failed. I'm tempted to visit the silverstone f1 test this week but seeing as I've never been before I'm wary. Does anyone know if these days are open to all and you can pay on the gate or are they a ticket only affair? Where...

Haven't really researched the sigmas too much yet tbh. A mate of mine used to run a sigma but unfortunately he sold it before I got to have a go with it.

Mostly car shows where I find myself often shooting at around 25-35mm. I love the quality and effects possible with my nifty fifty but struggle with space at times hence wanting something a touch wider :)

Someone must of used the above lenses?

I've been using my Nifty fifty a lot recently and adore the lens but the focal length is just a little too long on my 60D. I'm tempted to add a slightly wider prime to my bag and have been looking at both the canon 28mm f1.8 and the sigma 30mm f1.4. I'll mostly be shooting at car shows/events...

Do you guys insure your camera kit separately or as part of your contents insurance?

I've upgraded from an 1100d to a 60d which I bought second hand with the kit lenses (18-55 55-250 and 50mm f1.8) and a canon battery grip with extra batteries for well within your budget and I love it. The only thing I know of that I would miss from the 7d is the weather proofing but then the...

It's easier to type out the kit i'm not missing :( I'm tempted by the sigma 120-400 or similar for motorsport events and I' like something to replace the 18-55 canon kit lens but haven't figured out what would work for me best yet :(

A Velbon Sherpa 450r So far so good, can't fault it for the price and it's sturdy enough for my 60d with grip. I also picked up a cheap kong Monopod..

Thanks for the suggestions and comments from experience with each lens, very informative :) I'm shooting with a 60D, I have found the 50mm f1.8 to be little restricting at shows tbh which is a shame as I adore that lens

I may need to find a friend with some of the above lenses and give them a go :nod: I have an unhealthy want for an L-series which is daft as I could end up with a product that doesn't suit me as well as another..

I'm tempted to upgrade my standard 18-55 kit lens to a Canon EF 24-105 f/4.0L IS. Is this a worthwhile upgrade for a general walk around lens. I Mostly shoot at car shows/meets so am a little worried that I'll miss the wider angle (even though i'm not a fan of the 18-55mm lens at 18mm) but...
