just to add my 2 penny worth, i've got a Slik pro330DX and find it excellent. does every thing u want m8, but is 1.5 kg This is the ebay shop i got mine from, £85 is pretty good price in my book, Link DoH, just looked at your location, might be an issue....soz

Dave, I have the 28-135 IS, I live in lincoln and was planing a ride out on the bike over the weekend, and would be quite willing to make the rideout near yourself, and let you have a play with the 28-135 on the 5D........ no alterior motives......not much.......cause i've been looking at 5d...

Just my personal opinion, but i have a slight problem with the couple kissing in the water, i find it to be a little Surreal, i believe a modern styled image would fit in with the rest of the cover more...... like i say, just my own personal preference. Either way I'll be looking out for copy...

thx guys, just out of interest then, which would be a decentish flash at about £50-£70? cheers

OH, well i've sorted it, the 2 little microswitches at the edge of the shoe were still pushed down, flicked the springs with a scaple and bobs ** uncle. :thumbs: So i would asume from this little escapade, the only flash units i should be putting on my 400D are to two canon speedlites?

Hi, If anyone can help me with this i would be more gratgeful than you can ever imagine. Long story short, was goin through a cupboard and found my old cosina 35mm, with a jessops 220ABZ flash, bright idea me thinks, bung it on my 400d and see if it works. Sure enough it worked, but now...

What an awsome little gadget, i think i'll have to make one aswell......well there goes the oil and filter change on the bike tomorrow....lol

Wilmore does actually go for an illustration look in his images, it's his style, i like it myself others don't, but you can't deny the guy is bloody good. But my reason for the post was more for the HDR mastery DVD, as all of the techniques apply to either style, illustration or photographic...

cheers Bob, that was really informative, i can only see a small quality diffence between the 2 lens' i'll be perfectly happy with the 28-135 now, might not even bother upgrading to the 24-105L. Thanks again people for all the advice.

you have a pm friend

Cheers CB, that's exactly what i needed to know, the 28-135 is better than the 18-55 IS and obviously not as good as the 24-105 L, cool....... looks like i'll be purchasing the 28-135 and saving up for the 24-105 L. Thanks alot guys, sometimes these decisions are very hard to make and bouncing...

to be honest i'm mostly going to be using the 100-400L when i'm at bike meets, although i'll use the smaller lens(whichever i get) at cadwell and mallory if i get my usual spots, other than that i'll mostly be using the 28-135 for HDR stuff, i take shot of a varity of subjects, buildings, lamp...

Thanks for the opinions guys, my aim is to get shot of my 2 EF-S lens and just have the 100-400L and a half decent walkabout, i'm not too fussed about wide angle, as i'm not really into scenery shots so the 28-135 would be fine for me. I know i would get alot better quality images out of the...

Hi, I would like to buy the Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM as a walk about lens, but after recently purchasing a 100-400 f/4 L i feel another £500 minimum (ebay) is not really in my best interest if i wish to remain married. So my question is this, is the Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM...
