Might only be a pound a week but if I add all the pounds here and pounds there for hosting and editing it all adds up.

Just a quick update. I hired a Canon 70-300 l from Castle Camera's and I was so impressed I'm buying this lens. With the sigma MC11 the 70-300 is right up there with the sigma 35mm f1.4 art and 70-200mm f2.8 mkii on focusing speed, accuracy and sharpness. Obviously if money wasn't a problem...

Thank you for the reply. Good to hear it's a sharp lens, that's more important than the focusing. I was sort of expecting the focus to be hit and miss so I'm happy with "OK" If I was to purchase the Canon it will be used mainly for landscape photography so will be manually focused anyway...

Hi peeps! Has anyone tried the Canon 70-300 L on the Sony a7iii with the sigma MC-11. Your thoughts on focusing, sharpness etc please. I was actually looking at purchasing the sigma 100-400mm but have been offered the Canon at a good price so now not sure which way to go. Sony is over budget...

Many Thanks!!! That's the reply I was waiting for. For me personally, the 24-105 f4 is perfect for my needs.

Thanks for the reply. By the look of things no one has any negatives to put me off buying one. I am VERY tempted in the 24-70 GM too. I'm popping into Castle Cameras Bournemouth later today, hopefully I make the right choice. [emoji3]

Hi, Anyone regret buying the Sony 24-105 f4 and why?

Thank you for your reply. The lens was posted today. I believe it's a fully manual lens. Looking on Amazon, K&F Concept seems reasonable at £29.99

Hi, help and advice please. I have just purchased a Samyang 14mm f2.8 UMC Aspherical IF ED Lens for my Sony a7iii. Great! Reading the eBay listing properly AFTER buying, the seller says it's an A mount..... not so Great! Can anyone recommend an adapter or would I be better off selling the...

Most certainly have. £1200 gets you a excellent condition with very low shutter count body only. Buying a used FF will allow me to keep the 7d which would be nice in a way as I wiuld have the best of both worlds.

Like? Love the 5D3. Reason I didn't pull the trigger today is I want to look a little further into the newer 6d ii.

Quick update: Went to Castle Cameras and walked out with nothing! Lol Will take my time deciding and also consider buying used as well as looking at the 6d a little closer. Once again thanks all for your advice.

I've noticed the 6dii is at a very good price.

Thank you all for your replies, it's helped me make my mind up, I'm going with a new 5diii. Castle Camera's my local camera shop have one in stock reserved for me. I did consider the 6d and the 6dii but I can't afford to make another mistake so sticking with what I know and like, the Canon 5d .

Use to own a 5dii for many years, sadly it died just before Christmas. As photography is just a hobby and I shoot anything and everything although landscapes and portrait are my main interests. So, with all this in mind I couldn't justify the price tag of the Canon 5diii which would have...
