Thanks for the reply, I have never had a lens with a focal length above 400 so i am not sure how much that will be used. I have read somewhere that on a full frame camera if you crop a picture to represent a longer focal length depending on the quality of the shorter lens, it can produce a...

I am thinking of upgrading my zoom lens. I currently have the canon 100-400 version 1 lens and my shortlist is the following: Canon 100-400 mark 2 Tamron 150-600 Sigma 150-600 Is the canon mark 2 worth paying the extra money for in terms of sharpness over the others. This will be used on a full...

I have the 70 - 200 F4 IS and use it for sport. I find the IS a real bonus for panning. The lens has a 2 stage system that allows you to correct the movement in one direction. This helps to have a sharp subject but blurred background when panning.

I think the shots are spot on, it just goes to show it's the person behind the camera that counts. Most of us don't print above A4 so it's not imperative to have the most expensive lenses for the casual hobbiest. L series lenses are great, but they wont make you a great photographer.

The lowepro Mini Trekker AW takes my gripped 40D, along with a 17-40, 70 - 200 F4 is, 100 - 400, 28 - 135, 105 macro, 430ex flash plus accessories. Heavy but it all fits.

Have to agree with you regarding PM, I subscribe to Digital Photo, but buy quite a few photography mags as and when articles interest me.

I used one with my 70-200 F4 IS and couldn't see much difference in quality.
