    Eos 6d Owners Thread!

    I took advantage of the Jessops deal with the free 600ex flash a couple of weeks ago. Sold the flash and software and got quidco cash back which totalled £400 after my costs. So I paid £1075 in the end for a new UK 6D body only and bought a 1 year old 24-105mm for £450, total of £1525 so not a...

    Eos 6d Owners Thread!

    I'm very tempted by a 6D + 24-105mm kit. Have I missed the best offers? The best I can find is the jessops deal at £1999 with a free 600ex which I could sell for around £300 new. So £1700. What were the best deals last month? Was the Harrisons deal £1700 after cash back plus the free grip?

    L series lens on entry level slr's

    I've recently purchased a 24-70L for my 550d and the improvement over the kit lens is unbelievable. Wider aperture, sharper images with better colours, fast focus, love it. I will definitely be investing in more quality lens' in the future, and like said, its future proof too as when i upgrade...

    Wide Angle Lens Help Please

    I've got the 4-5.6, got it for christmas least year. Love the lens, my most used. Never felt I needed a wider aperture with it either as I mostly use it in the daytime, outside.

    EOS 600D & kit lens Or 550D With Accessories & choice of lens ?

    You talk about a flash gun. The 600D has built in wireless flash trigger iirc, so can trigger a speedlite flash for off camera flash work. This alone would make me go for that, I think the accessory for my 550D to do this is about £150 but i'm going to get one as I find my cheap ebay...

    Canon 24-70mm f2.8 on a crop?

    I think my minds been put at rest now, thanks. Lets not get started on 24-70 v 24-105, that little decision has been playing on my mind for 2 weeks now but decided the wider aperture is more useful to me than the IS.

    Canon 24-70mm f2.8 on a crop?

    I'm on the verge of buying this lens tomorrow, intact I have one put aside at my local shop. I have a small worry though that it may be just a tad too long on my crop 550D. I am wanting to use it as a general walkabout lens. I have the kit lens also, which I hope will be made redundant by...

    What to get for £50?

    I think a decent bag is a good shout. I've just upgraded to a flipside 300 and its nice being able to fit all my kit in one bag thats good quality.

    Lens Filters and Hoods

    I used UV lens' for protection at first but binned them soon after. I suffered from a lot of light spots on the images, especially in low light. I agree with above, use a hood and 'creative' filters when required.

    Help please guys and gals....................

    You ideally need a longer lens for motorsport work. There's a few options in the 70-300mm field, both Tamron and Sigma make acceptable budget len's. Have a search around, there is quite a bit of info on the forum on the subject.
