It's all not fair, I want one!! But I need it for my Nikon D40....it's double the price, any alternatives??? Christmas is zooming up, and I haven't got myself a present yet!!!

Thank you guys for all your help, Tim I didn't even know I could turn the power right down on my built-in flash...but yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Brilliant. I think I'm going to go with the kit lens, and lowered flash, and see how I go, I can always go back and redo them if need be. So thanks again...

No I don't have any extra flash, but there are a set of 2 x 500w halogen lights on a tripod available, but I'm worried in case it looks a bit like a dodgy film set if I use them

Yes Realspeed, they are all aware and happy to have their pics taken, this is a proper village garage, and as I know them very well, I know what sense of humour each has, it's trying to get that in a pic!!! Got to be honest, I wouldn't want to take my car to a place where the mechanic...

Hi Cowasaki, yeah I'm tending to keep the siggy firmly in its case!! And yes it's pretty dark in there, which is adding to my fear!!! I think the 70-300 would be good as long as I have a clear view, and also if I used the flash would it reach if I'm a fare way away??

Also I think I may have put this in the wrong place....sorry guys, if any one can, woud you mind putting it in the correct category??!!! Thanks in advance

Hi guys, ok, here's the scene: I'm currently doing a website for a local garage, my simple brief is to take photos of each mechanic (probably doing something, but looking at the camera in a candid sort of way - does that make sense?) Then a group shot (the team!) Then some of...

Well guys, I took the 70-300, and was glad I did, got a nice few candid shots of people, and some moving shots (motorcycle display team) Appreciate your comments everyone. :)

Thanks Seth, it's going to be the 70-300 I don't suppose you have relatives up here in Norfolk do you Seth??? Only reason I ask, I know someone who has a son called Seth, which is quite an unusual name

Thank you guys, I've made my decision, "Tonight matthew, i am going to take the 70-300"!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tirpitz, I Know where you're coming from, but I'm very keen to do some moving type shots, I don't think i'm going to be taking pics of static displays if I'm honest. So in real terms I think I'm even answering my own question!!!!

Thanks fabs, I would take the 18-55, but I'm sure people would get suspicious if I were taking pics of them with a rather large bulge in my shorts!!!!!!!!! So another vote for the 70-300

Thanks Feek, so another vote for the 70-300!!!!!!!!!!

Starastin, thanks for that, may I ask why you'd go for that one??

Thanks for the reply gramps, My people shots would really be just to practice taking pics of people, to see if I can capture a mood, expression etc. Certainly wouldn't be for commercial or any other use. My thinking was the 70-300, so that's 2 votes for that one then!!!!
