Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 (non is). If you need more reach, add a longer lens at a later date.

Superb gesture guys.

Kind of sickening we would have to pay an £800 premium over our American cousins. I suppose, 'twas ever thus.

d90 is a crop sensor camera so better for wildlife, the 5d is full frame and is much more suited to portraits and landscape stuff.

I see from your camera bag you have a fair bit of focal length covered. As you mentioned portraiture, Canon 85 f/1.8 is a cracking lens and ideal for portraits. Its pretty long on a crop so you need a bit of space but it always impresses me when I use it, 50mm is good but 85mm is better, for...

Superb idea for a set of pics, I like the b&w and the texture of the coffee spill/text adds another dimention. The vignette is a wee bit severe but only a photographer would notice. :thumbs: I sense the force is strong in this one :thumbs:

Nothing to add to Richard's input but that's a cracking video Duncan, enoyed watching that.

Ooof!, missed that, sorry. I was talking about the Tamron 17-50mm, I had the non-vc one, cracking value for money.

I think its the best bang for your buck as a walkabout lens on a crop body. I loved mine and will probably buy another.

Looks superb, I'll be watching for a street price.

Try starting with..... Manual, 1/200th and a wide aperture, up the iso 400 or 800 and bounce the flash of a neutral coloured wall or ceiling. Slower shutter speed will let in more ambient light if needed. Play around with flash exposure compensation to adjust the amount of flash. Have a...

I've owned both and the 100-400mm is a much, much better lens. I wouldn't have a siggy 50-500mm but quite miss the 100-400mm

Never had this, I can only suggest process of elimination. I'd be trying another card to rule out a faulty flash card (you are formating the card before use in camera?), if the fault repeats.... Rule out the transfer to PC by putting images on a friends PC using their card reader... If it...

I have a cheap Q strap, never comes loose, the clasp that connects feels a bit cheap, no fear of it breaking but its sharp and not well finished other than that, I can't see the rapidstap being superior.
