With this budget I would go for a second hand Sigma 2.8 D.APO- HSM 70-200mm. Great lens.! Almost regret that i trade it in for a 2.8 VII Nikon 70-200mm. Extreme fast and acurate focus. Tack sharp!

I would sugest to wait a while,and see what type of photography you like.A new lens once bought drops in price like a stone.Better think twice and spend once. A always usefull item might be a extern flash like a SB 800.

Jailbrake and reliable.......:rolleyes:

My longest lens is a Nikon 2.8 300mm .Since this summer i have a 2x converter for it,so it makes it a 600mm.Its a (in more than one way) great combination.I only soon found out that 600mm is great lens,but the times i use it are scarces.I would sugest to buy a 1.4 or 2x converter for the single...

Since my waterproof Olympus 800 got a extreme liqued display during a swimming party with my Grandkids i was looking for something better. Gave myself a Nikon AW1 from Santa.(i only have to wait till Saturday or Monday cause i want a black model)

I would go for extra/ "better" glass.28-300mm looks nice,and is a "all in one" lens. But it has plenty limitations.Go for a second hand 24-70mm 2.8. Get the photo fire light up,and than go for a better/other body.You dont need perse a new body every few year.I work with a D2X a D300 and a...

Had a Sigma for years.Great lens!. By luck ik could buy a like new 2.8 28-70 Nikon for 500 euro. By far that was my lucky day for years!

oops..Sorry!

I understand,but I had mine in 1985.The time that communication was done on paper. I rember buying something in the UK and send to me (in Holland). Took 3 weeks,and a mountain on paperwork for the money transfer:wacky:. Think transporting a parcel from China to Europe stil went over the silk...

Looking down a shaft finder takes some practice,but something you can learn.I found focussing a Hasselblad 500c easy. Still you need just "that" and you picture is totaly distorded. Let say its not a snapshot camera.I used it also mostly with tripod. Bought mine second hand for 2000 guilder (now...
