Hi Whilst scouring ebay for deals on the above I noted the cannon 17-40 f4 L sells at veery reasonable prices. Whilst not the focal range of the 15-85 would this not be an option? Cheers John

hi all I have been playing with my camera in manual just to learn but if I like a shot , I often take a couple in full auto , just to capture it. I have noted although I am checking my light meter and balancing things up my images are slightly dark. In full auto the camera seems to close the...

Hi Thanks I need the focal length to bridge to 55 my next lens . I have tamron 18-250 and canon 28 - 135 but not happy with them and both getting on now , plus a lot of crossover. Fancy a good telephoto lens as well but to get 400 -600mm isn't in the budget. Cheers John

Hi all I plan to do a lot more hill walking this year , so need a wide angle lens for the vistas. I am considering the canon 15-85mm zoom seems to be well regarded and a step up from a kit lens and decent IQ for the money. Any thoughts on this option or alternatives. Regards John Ps canon 60...

Hi guys I think the 150-600 is the solution so thanks for,that does anyone think tamron or sigma has the edge? Regards John

Hi looked at a 150-600 still high priced for me at the minute. The bigma 50-500 seems to,go for less is it comparable? Regards John

Hi Thanks Jenny I heard they where good. I think the big issue is there heavy. I could live with that as will be sitting down set up on tripod as a rule. Just gone through my lenses and will post on here so will help anyone thinking about advising me . I think I have to much crossover. After...

Hi all I know I wildlife telephoto has been done to death but can't decide what to do. I have found a great spot on an estuary I have seen dunlins sandpipers oyster catchers and a curlew at the same time. Closest I can get without,spooking is a 100 feet or so. So want to set up for a morning...

Hi Thanks but this won't work for me , I carry a ruck sack when hiking want something to clip to the belt harness etc. John

Hi all Just picked up a 18-135 on eBay . Will put my 55-250 on eBay tommorow . What about this for starter birding lens Sigma 135-400 MM. APO DG For Canon

Hi Cheers It's a canon 60d with 18-135 as main lens Cheers John

Hi all I walk a lot , and need a case that is weatherproof , but has instant access. Is there a belt or quick release system for rucksacks. Cheers John

Hi Thanks both Jannyfox , I walk as well and thought the 18-135 would be my best bet , can't carry a load of lens up a mountain. Would love a 600 mm lens but not in the budget this year. John

Hi Thanks Andy John

Thanks guys. I realise there is crossover , but will only be taking one lens out on family trips etc, however the tamron would solve the issue. Thanks for the converter info i thought you could get a converter to fit. Cheers John
