I pre ordered and got mine a couple of weeks ago, I have to say, for the price they are pretty amazing! I do however find myself stuck between a rock and a hard place with some of the settings... To clarify, framerates depend on whether you shoot in PAL or NTSC with NTSC offering the more per...

Nearly all EFS lenses... I've got the same Kenko FOR C/AF DG 12/20/36mm ones and they don't physically fit on my Canon EFS 10-22mm... but then I think thats because it would bring the focus point inside the lenes body and render it useless. But none they less... it's an EFS lens...and they...

I too own the 17-70 OS version and it was a huge step up from my bog standard kit lenses. Contray to what I'm reading above, I did hear that the non-OS version had better optics and provided better results... but that was only hearsay. I wouldn't put you off the 17-70 OS...I love it but then...

Vaizki, thanks for the fantastic replies... that makes a lot more sense now. I've had a good play around with all my options here and it's not really doing it for me. As in your post, with my sigma @ 70mm I'm starting to get the kind of magnification I'm after...but I'm practically touching...

Bah...I bought it Body Only...well, I actually bought it with a Canon 10-22mm but again there's no point in going there. You've got some really nice shots there with your 70-200, my next lens purchase. Maybe I should invest in a cheapo 50mm... Could anybody explain to me the method of...

Hi all, Disappeared from here for a few years but I'm back again with a couple more questions. I've recently just upgraded loads of kit, and after digging through a few bags I found my Kenko extension tubes which I bought a few years ago. Now, I never really had very many good experiences...

I've been looking into Macro lenses recently. I tired a couple out the other day and the Sigma 105mm was pretty decent. I also looked at the Canon 100mm too and whilst it costs a bit more money, I couldnt figure out the difference between the two. The AF was slightly better/quicker on the...

The 400D is a nice camera. I always favour Canons for some unexplainable reason. Having said that, I've never used a Nikkon D70 and I'm not a photography expert... so what do I know! :)

I don't know where you're from, but I immidiatly thought the snake pass (A57) which links Manchester with Sheffield. http://www.webbaviation.co.uk/gallery/d/2081-2/river-ashop-m9925.jpg Theres a couple of positions which would make fantastic shots. If its cold enough there's often a bit of...

Well, I've purchased a set of Auto Extension tubes, I'll let you know how good/bad they are when I get them. Sorry mav, already purchased them! If they're crap, I'll chuck them up on ebay and spash out on a macro lens. Cheers for all your help guys/girls... I'll post some pics soon for...

Like I said in my first post, I'm still pretty new to all this and I'm literally taking pictures of everything. So specifiying exactly what I want to take pics of probably isnt that easy...but I guess it would include both insects, plants and so on. I particulary like this guys macro stuff...

The whole cheap glass thing makes sense... I found on the macro lenses this morning the auto-focus actually stuggled to pick up on my desired object. So is it really worth spending the extra £30-£40 for the auto-focus feature as apposed to these for instance...

Hi all, First post in this forum and hopfully not my last! I have a question which I'm hoping some of you may be able to shed some light on. I'm relativly new to the photography world and am looking to take some real good close up shots. I've got myself a Canon EOS 300d (EFS 18-55mm lens)...
