Sounds like a good plan I'll give it a go! Might sound like a daft question but how do I find out the sensor width?

VERY NICE!!! What lens did you use? I got some snaps where one actually had a guillemot in it's tallons. Trouble is its quite a distance away and once cropped and zoomed it's not very sharp, unlike your very nice shot... Well done!

I have a sigma 70-300m Macro DG lens. It will focus, at closest to 1:2. I also use macro extension tubes. I am wondering what range I am reaching when focusing as close as I can, would it be as large as 1:1?

I've put this link on another thread but it seems more appropriate here. Any advice, its only about 30 quid...

Sigma 70-300mm f4-5.6 DG MACRO Lens is the lens i use, so basically by what you have both written, it looks as though well... your right! Think saving for telephoto zoom of a longer range might be the way forward! Thanks for your replies

Hello to everyone again, and thanks for your advice on grad filters!! I have just recently come back from scotland and got some good shots of sea eagles amongst other wildlife. My telephoto lens however only goes up to 300mm and i woulda killed for extra range or to be closer (which isn't always...

Hello everyone, i am still relatively new in the fantastic world of the slr!! I have been experimenting with taking shots of moving water, ie waterfalls, beach shots using a slower shutter speed to gain that 'misty' effect. And if i do say so myself I have gained some pleasing results. The only...

Hello to everyone and a big thanks..... I eventually managed to get my camera repaired at a sting of £180! But.... it's now in full flow.... and i look forward to sharing and discussing photography with everyone

WOW!! Thanks to everyone for your replys and welcome!! I have been away working this week and just read them all! Encona, without a doubt i would have tried your recommendation, but i sent it to a canon specialist in glasgow, could be looking at 100 to 200 pounds to repair it, they will ring...
