Hi, Yes I am if you look at the link below you will see some pictures I shot of a watch, the first is with the 17-85mm and had a large circular black frame which I photoshoped out and the next two were with the 75-300mm and are not played with at all. So all in all I think the 75-300mm is...

Thanks for the replies :) I have now ordered a RAYNOX DCR-250 from Amazon for £38.50 delivered. Look out bugs, I'm coming to get you :lol:

I have a canon eos 400 with a Canon 17-85mm is lens and would like to take some macro type shots. I have used the search button and found the Raynox DCR-250 and just wanted someone who has used it on a set up like mine to confirm its a good option (or not). thanks.

You are correct, it is right outside Subway and very odd it was seeing it parked in the middle of the junction.

I only photographed the helicopter and had no intention of trying to photograph the paramedics as I agree that would be in bad taste. It is a very public street and in no way privately owned.

Not really rubbernecking just don't often see a helicopter parked in the street.

Picture now added:) A man standing next to me asked the police officer to explain why the pictures would be evidence, he of course could not answer and again told us to leave.

Today a helicopter landed in the street near where i live so off i went camera in hand to get some shots. It would appear that a car driver had crashed into a building and the air ambulance had been called. By the time i reached the site the helicopter had landed and the police were in...

I have a 13 year old daughter who has Albinism (see below) which in lay-mans terms means she is an albino. She is bright, intelligent with a dry sense of humor she is also a teenager and behaves as any other teenager would (dads you know what I mean) Albinism is a comparatively rare...

Went for the Canon 17-85mm IS bought second-hand from a member here, thanks to all who replied and gave advice, Daryl.

I tried to shoot a school gala that my daughter was competing in but ran into all sorts of opposition with the PC brigade so it was a non starter in the end. There is a form you can get that makes it more official but i dont know much about it but maybe someone else can fill you in with the...

Is the Canon 17-85mm IS a better bet than the 18-55mm IS?

Where would i look to get both new for £280?

I have just bought a second hand eos 400d (body only) and sold my 350d and kit lens, this leavs me with two lenses.... Canon EF 24-85 f3.5-4.5 Canon EF 75-300 f4-5.6 II Now the 24-85mm (38mm) is not wide enough for me and the 75-300mm is a b****r to hold steady at 300mm (480mm)...

Thanks chaps, large and smooth it is then Dizz.
