For Canon: Tamron 18-270mm f3.5-6.3 VC PZD Sigma 18-250mm f3.5-6.3 DC OS I am going to be purchasing such a lens, not for myself, for someone for whom it will be very much the perfect lens - I don't need the spiel on why you'd choose lens X and lens Y instead of a superzoom ;) So...

Just RAW now but did used to shoot RAW + jpeg whilst I got to grips with things

I have some 3rd party batteries from 7dayshop for my 50d and I have to say that any difference in performance to the genuine canon ones is barely noticeable given the price difference!

Mega thanks guys, shall look into the suggestions :)

Just got myself a new tripod, would quite like a bag to carry it in.. Seems like a fairly uncomplicated piece of kit but thought I'd see what you guys use before I fork out any ££ Any recommendations? Cheers :thumbs:

What sort of things do you like to take photos of? There are too many things to list on here, have a look through some of the Isle of Man groups on flickr... We're a friendly enough bunch! Fingers crossed you get some nice weather :)

I have the optech which I bought to replace the standard canon one when I broke my collar bone and only had one arm to help take the strain, super comfortable and not too much ££

1. Canon 50d 2. My Mum has a Canon so I was already familiar with the layout, I tried other in the shop but the Canon felt best :) 3. I don't think the system is lacking... I think that is all me! 4. Same again :D

Did this a few months ago and got a zero :D I shall try it again... EDIT: Meh, 9 this time!
