Got one too from my Nan, have to echo the comments, so comfortable!

Pretty basic but thought I'd give it a shot with a photo I took last year but never used!

I did a review of the 100 f/2 a while back, can be found here. In terms of the f/2 vs the macro, the choice lays between a stop faster, or closer focusing and a slight increase in sharpness (both at f/2.8). Since that review I've been out with the lens a little bit more (a set can be found...

Cheers Lee, will come in handy at some point no doubt :)

I use it occasionally to give a slight increase to eye sharpness, but try to keep it natural at the same time. Normally I try and get an even balance of clarity boost and sharpness increase, and then go over it again with a slight boost to the exposure to bring out any lost detail. What...

Any time mate :) Don't think of manual as the pro mode, not all pro's use it. I shot a wedding at the weekend and the camera's didn't leave Aperture priority mode, it's all about what works for you and what gets that shot :thumbs:

Not sure if there's a gallery as you say as I haven't been around here too long myself, but some folk do add the image EXIF data (contains all of the information such as shutter speed/aperture etc) to the border of the image. If a shot has the EXIF intact, right click and click on...

Nick sums it up in the last line to be honest. Jun - If I'm honest I'm not really sure, I've never had the pleasure of trying the 85mm, but I think it would be a nice focal length to work with, if I get the chance to have a go of one I'd definitely like to try it and see just why the 100/2...

It's a great lens for the cash, but having never tried the 135L can't really give you a comparison. If you get a chance definitely give one a go though, could save you a lot of cash. I'll be honest I'd never heard of it until I noticed it in the drawer at school, as I think you could be...

I used to have that Hama Star 63, let's just say I now have the RS-284 and RSH-24 combo after not long with the Hama lol. Trust people when they say spend that little extra on a good RedSnapper one, the difference in quality, and most of all the usability, is worth every penny. You get a very...

Note: All sample images using the lens were taken using a Canon 50D. Pictures of the lens were done with the 100mm f/2.8 Macro and a 7D Recently I’ve been considering where I want to go with my lens collection eventually (poor student) and after a bit of playing with the nifty fifty, decided...

Nice one mate, cracking shot too!

No worries. Wouldn't the best question to ask yourself be; "What do I enjoy shooting?" and then go from there?

Never used the Tamron but have the Sigma (Stabilized version) as my main walkabout lens. IQ wise, it's a superzoom, so don't expect it to be pin sharp, but unless you go pixel peeping it's unlikely you'll have any complaints. Has never stopped me doing a significant crop. Focusing is...

I think it's just a quirk of the lens, my nifty is pretty loud and so was a friends when I tried it, although for the price I think it's a pretty ok trade off to be honest.
