How about the Canon 18-135mm as another alternative? I never realised they were roughly in the same price range. How does the 18-135mm compare with the Sigma 17-70mm?

I get a zoom won't reach the same quality as a prime but wouldn't mind on improving on the image quality of the zoom lenses I have. The main reason I'm after a new lens is to take on holiday so I don't have to carry several lenses with me and a blower to get rid any sensor dust inflicted whilst...

Thank you plamen. That's very helpful. I must admit there were a few occasions walking around the countryside this weekend where wildlife shots were wasted because I had to switch lenses to my 55-250mm so that just confirms it further. I can't fault my kit lens but when I see some of the...

I'm looking to buy a new lens to go on holiday later this year so I don't have to take several different lenses with me and the two I have been considering are the Sigma 17-70 and 18-250. At the moment I only have a 18-55 kit lens, 50 prime and 50-250 Canon, which cover my needs but would...

I drive a TDCI Fiesta. I wanted something cheap to run because I do over 450 miles a week. Bloody awful car! It's in the garage again at the moment. Uncomfortable ride, poor interior, poor radio and just poor quality. I regret selling the Ford Focus I had to buy it. Had it for years and had very...

:bang: Predictive text :lol:

Recorded makes no difference. I've had recorded and special delivery go missing too. Only benefit is being able to claim the value of the item back. I know what you mean about couriers too. They leave stuff on my door step too right on a busty passage way to the pub and Tesco's. I send all my...

To get a job at PCW you just need to be able to drag your knuckles on the floor don't you? I went into a Currys somewhere in London (my geography of London is poor but it was near the Excel Centre) and blaring over the instore music system was a rap of "Let's Get Retarded in Here".

Splitter. Commonly falling off when scraped with a kerb when parking.

Royal mail has gone down hill. I used to send a lot of stuff a few years ago with no bother. Now it's a gamble it'll even reach its destination. Had so much stuff go missing last couple of years. Couple of weeks ago I had a letter meant for a place the other end of the country delivered. Same...

As said, use the Crucial website to determine what memory you need. As for installing the memory, Acer laptops tend to be easy. On the back, they'll be an access panel specifically for the RAM or a panel you need to unscrew and unclip to access the insides. I know some of their netbooks were a...

Car exhaust fumes are carcinogenic. How about we ban the car?

Over the top in my opinion. Where can we smoke anymore? I'm in the process of giving up but the way smokers are treated is just too much. Chap at work actually drives his 4x4 20 yards out into the road at lunch time so he can have a smoke in his car as smoking in your car on company premesis is...

Nope but I don't have a huge amount of gear! CDs and DVDs on the other hand, I've got some that are over 5 years old and still in the wrapper.
