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...

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

Thanks guys. As usual your a mine of information :clap: bacon saved again !!!

Hi all, I have aquired a set of Cokin filters and ND Grads etc, plus adaptor rings, i was going to use these on my new 24-105 IS L lens ( great lens by the way), but...... the rings only go up to i think 67mm,:bonk: and i think i need 77mm, anyone got any ideas please as to wherei might get...

Hi, can you suggest a book or a number of books which could guide me with landscape photography please.

well thanks a lot you bunch, just cost me some serious £££, again !! just had to part with some hard earned for the 24-105 is L, Seriously, thanks for the advice, :clap: cant wiat for them to arrive so i can have a fiddle. might have to fib a bit to the wife if she asks just how much...

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

Many thakns for the advise, i did wonder AFTER i purchased the 12-24 how you would fit an N grad filter to it:shrug: But the question is answered now, looks like a bit of DIY required im ace with a saw and chisel :bonk:

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

Thanks for the replys guys, and thanks to canon bob, i was also thinking of the 28-300 IS L too

many thanks for the non constructive answers :shrug: i wish i was perfect, but im only human, i got the D in the wrong place, the D50 refers to the new Canon camera due out soon, which i assumed people would know about. its nice to know that as beginners we can always rely on our piers to...

Hi guys, I know this question will have been asked before, but i cant find it, so here goes Im in the process of updating my camera currently canon 400D, i am thinking seriously about the canon 40D, i know the canon D50 is on its way but theres a marked jump in the price. What i would...

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:

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

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
