Thank you I have owned both Canon and Nikon in the past I just find Canon lenses less expensive and the 70-200 f2.8 my favourite lens ever. so ill take a look at the 80D and the Nikon D750 I'm not too worried about FF crop can be a blessing at times.

Thought long and hard on this one Canon EF 70-200 f2.8 L non IS Canon EF 24-70 F2.8 L Nikon 50mm F1.4G AF-S

Again thank you, I have been doing some reading and I feel a DSLR will suit me better, I'm not into sport however I have a young Golden retriever who I like to photograph while chasing around and I like to go to the odd airshow, so I just feel a DSLR offers less restrictions and I feel my 2k...

Redsnapper RSF-284M tripod & RSH-61/30 Ball Head, which is a bit premature as I don't have a camera yet, but it was second hand but never used, really happy with it, just need a camera now!!

thank you everyone this is all new to me never had anything other a DSLR so I think ill be doing some reading up tonight as I don't even know what a CSC is (excuse my ignorance) !!!!

I'm returning to photography after a time away, last camera was a Canon 5D MKiii,. my budget is more restricted now and I'm seeing new cameras and how things are moving on. I was considering buying a used Canon 7d mk 2 along with a canon 17-40 f4 and canon 70-200 non IS f2,8 which would get me...

After a while away from Photography due to marriage break up and some heather problems, I have decided the time is right to get back into a hobby I enjoy even if ill never produce images like some of you guys on here. so just saying hello and ill be reading all the posts on what's been...

Thanks Ben, do you shoot FF?, i do and always find a tight crop too much for Bird photography hence wanting to try the extender. have to agree the 70-300 is a great lens.

Nobody tried an extender on their 70-300 L IS?

I would like to try a 1.4 extender on my 70-300 lens and wanted to know what others are using, do i need the DGX or will the DG do the same job? I need AF to function and have read many reviews where others have had good results so looking for some advice before i buy. Thanks Tony

I have found a filter degrades a tele lens taking shots of tiny birds so dont use one on these but on a walkabout lens like my 24-105 i have one fitted most of the time to avoid scratches

Thanks Gary strange how the 400mm still feels like a modern lens while the 100-400 feels like a throw back to my AE1 days.

Yes i agree hence buying the 400mm as well i dont like converters but will probably get one just to see how it functions, i didnt like the 100-400 one bit and after a few days with the 70-300 i am so glad i switched and feel comfortable using it and with the results..

I never considered the 70-200 f4 IS as i wanted the 300mm within the lens as i dont like converters on anything other than a prime lens. I shhot Birds and wildlife but also will use the 70-300 for anything that needs to get closer than the 24-105

I have a 5D3 and since owing it i have been trying to find an ideal combination of lenses for me, i also bought a bashed up 7D for wildlife but idealy want my kit to be on the 5D3 only as less to carry around I do have health problems so weight and keeping kit to a minimum have been my...
