    Canon 70-300 ... which one was the good one??

    I had one and found it could produce great results in bright light, but always struggled to focus when light levels were not so good. Found it good for composed shots but not so good for quick stuff like when shooting wildlife. (Slow to focus/hunting) Hated the way the front rotated and...

    I think it's there to protect the screen on your camera, not for cleaning :thinking:

    Wedding tog on ebay - Thoughts?

    Good luck to them. Think it's a great idea to help pay the bills. Anyone else on here, like me, not working (through no fault of my own - other than getting ill) and getting deeper in debt just trying to buy food and a roof for their family? Does it really matter what the quality of...

    Binoculars

    The best bit of advice i can offer is to make sure you try before you buy ..... just because it is expensive or has a good name doesn't mean it will be right for you. Porro's and Roof's give a totally different view than each other, with Porro's looking kind of 3D compared to a flat view...

    I know what bag I want but...[tamrac adventure]

    Don't know how much room, but would it be wise to put anything containing liquid in a compartment where it could leak and maybe damage your equipment? :)

    Neck straps

    Deffo Op/Tech but maybe the Envy Strap would be more suitable than the Pro due to the hot and humid conditions.

    Wide Angle lens for Canon EF

    Why an L in particular .... bad experience with third parties?

    Comprehensive 'what lens' thread, im really stuck deciding, help needed!

    For me it would (and possibly, will) )be the Sigma 18-200 OS, should cover most focal lengths when walking and light to boot. :)

    70-300

    Great lens for the price and produces some great results, especially if you limit it to around 250mm. I find it needs good light to really show what can be produced and hunts quite a bit in low light/low contrast situations. Only real downside i can think of is the rotating barrel and...

    How do you wear your camera?

    Just checked and post is $9.99 ..... still cheap by my book. Just pay by credit card and conversion is done automatically. Have used them more than once. :)

    How do you wear your camera?

    Round my neck with an Op/Tech Pro strap slung low enough for me to be able to cradle the camera when needed, also allowing the carrying of binoculars (on a shorter strap) at the same time. Bought mine from here http://www.procameragear.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/1_21/products_id/28...
