Same camera guys (canon eos)...I'm guessing it's down to him knowing what he's actually doing as opposed to me just learning. Thanks for your help...

Thanks for the info guys. What I mean by larger/longer zoom is we have images of the same subject, yet his seems to be magnified better than mine. Maybe I need to learn to use my camera more before comparing as he has been into photography a lot longer and appears to know what's he's doing!

I guys and girls... I'm a complete novice with a camera but well and truly got the bug. I have a question which is probably a bit daft to ask but I'll go ahead anyway. With regards to zoom lens, which has the greater zoom? I have a 75-300mm but a friend showed my some images with a 200mm lens...

thats brill...cheers. i'll give that a go :)

haha sorry....im playing around with this and liking the results :) think i'll hold on to it for now...

that macro add-on looks pretty good, i will check them out. I have seen the use of the reverse fitting rings to create a macro lens (kind of)...are they any good? i think my camera uses JPEG as default but i haven't tried RAW format...will be sure to check that out, thanks :)

cheers for the info...as for my main focus, i shoot a lot of landscape and wildlife. i live on a farm and do a lot of countryside pursuits so i tend to be surrounded by great photographic subjects. I try to play with some close up stuff but again I'm very new to this so its more a case of seeing...

i work out of wells next to sea (i work on the wind farm, sheringham shoal). I live about 7 miles from cromer in a tiny place called Alby. Would you recommend the x1.4 on the 300mm lens with the use of a tripod etc? Sorry if this is a dat question, I'm still trying to get my head around all the...

ha ha thats not a bad idea...might just look into that. I'm ex-forces so have all the DPM gear just no ghillie suit. Not much call for it in rural Norfolk! Cheers for the info guys. Transpires there is such a thing as a Teleconverter...told you I was new to all this :)

thanks for the info...i just can't seem to to get close enough to the wildlife I'm trying to photo as normally its a rifle in my hand and not a camera... ..more stealth will have to be adopted. thanks again for the info.

Hi, Having recently bought my first DSLR (Canon 1100D) I'm having a blast playing with the different lenses (NiftyFifty, 18-55 and 75-300) I am looking into the possibilities of obtaining more "zoom". My question is, for a complete beginner what would be a good "all-round" zoom lens (i.e...

ha ha yeah its not often a story like this turns out to be for the customers benefit :)

wow - thanks for that link. some of those images are fantastic. looking forward to playing around with it...

thank you...im going to experiment with it more and see what i can produce.

thanks for all the info guys...this is some great stuff...im clearly out of my depth when it comes to the technicalities of photography but i'll get there. it seems the fella in the shop was out of his depth too...still, he got an extra £80 from me and it is probably something i would have...
