That's interesting, as I was thinking of getting a teleconverter to get more length.

Cool - well, it's good the Sigma and Tamron are getting favourable comments. As I don't really get much of an income from photography, it's hard to justify spending a lot on it, so if I can get more lenses for my money not buying Canon, and not have much of a noticeable dip in quality, it may be...

Thanks all. I didn't go for that particular one in the end, but will give the Sigma (or even Tamrom) some serious consideration, although I suspect many of you are right and I'd have wished I'd bought the Canon... Some thinking to do! Thanks again!

So, is that particular one on eBay okay then? I may wait anyway and research a little more. It was only because I spotted it. I'll keep an eye on the price it's going for though still!

Wow - great shot!

It's this one - http://biSPAM/1c4sBqo Seller says not OS as listed though.

Ooh - I'll check when I get back home. Hadn't realised there were different versions!

Hi Sorry if this has been asked many times (I did search but not much came up), but is the Sigma 70-200 2.8 EX lens a worthy contender against the Canon? I'd really like something that length with the fast aperture but the Canon is a bit out of budget. There's one I'm watching on eBay, and...

Heh.... maybe I should see if I can squeeze a 70D out of the budget then.... ;)

Thanks, and yeah - bridge may suit, but it's not all web stuff - we do sometimes get shots of the riders to be blown up for A1 poster etc, and we use the shots of the bikes in print ads also. So it needs to be a really good all rounder. We've got the backdrops and lighting already - I just want...

Not many places still selling the 60D + 15-85 kit now.... DigitalRev have one.... Clifton Camera's have the 18-55 IS kit about £200 cheaper! Think that might be okay for us if the 15-85 isn't really available....

That might be an option, but I think we need something a little better when it comes to the bike shots. Handy with the filming capabilities too, in case we shoot and vids for the site. Others using it will be VERY occasionally... for eBay stuff, a compact is usually used unless I get asked...

BMX parts - ranging from frames, forks etc down to the small accessories. We do the bike ranges once a year, which we use the warehouse for, so we can get the camera far enough back, but I may see about a slightly wider primes perhaps, or just hire in the lens for when we need it.

Cool - thanks guys. I'll be the "main" user, but not the only one (it may get occasional use by others). Doesn't have to be great for general stuff for our websites as I'm sure a kit lens will be more than adequate, and as said I'll get a better prime in for when we do more important shots. I'd...

Hi Looking to buy a 60D for work (so I don't keep using my own 7D!), and while I will get a reasonable prime for more important shots (50mm 1.8 probably), I wanted a 'kit' lens for the general shots we take of parts etc. Which of the 18-55mm IS, 18-135mm or 18-200mm do people here find to be...
