    I like the idea, but the tree kind of gets a little lost within the other trees. Perhaps if you got closer so just the single tree was framed then it might work better. Try to expose so the sky is not so blown, it might work if the tree is a siloute and the sky is visible. Keep trying. Keep...

    Canon EF 24-105mm f4 L IS USM Lens

    I bought one of these a few weeks back, and WOW :eek:, you start to understand that the glass infront of the camera is THE key, i thought my other lenes were good (and to be honest they are) but the 24-105 blows them away, super sharp, even in low light, you wont be dissapointed

    24-105 L is canon

    Right guys got the Sigma 12-24mm F4.5-5.6 EX DG sorted thanks to your advice. Next question whats peoples thoughts on the 24-105 is L, will again be used on the 400D and eventually on the 40D. The main use i guess would be a general walk about lens your advice is much appreciated. mike

    Sigma 12-24mm F4.5-5.6 EX DG

    Hi all, Quick question, what are peoples opinions on the Sigma 12-24mm F4.5-5.6 EX DG, it will be used on the canon 400d and also a 40D when it arrives. It will be used for landscapes etc, so would it suit this use, or would the 10-20 version be better? many thanks in advance

    400D and a 100-400 L lens

    Thanks for the replys guys. i note with some trepidation the size of the lens on the 400D, i do have the grip fitted, so guess it wont look so unbalanced. A thought i did have was, does one need a licence to carry this in public as it looks like it could cause some serious injury lol :bonk:

    400D and a 100-400 L lens

    Many thanks for the advice, i did wonder if the 70-200 IS L with a 1.4 convertor might be a better buy since it would give me a bigger range

    400D and a 100-400 L lens

    Simple question really, i use a 75-300 IS lens at the moment with a 400D. i am thinking about a 100-400 IS L lens to replace the 75-300 Would i see any real difference ?, would the rather steep price tag be worth it?:thinking: any thought or help much appriciated mike
