Excellent price, but showing out of stock at the moment - if anyone is looking to buy one, might be worth giving them a ring and seeing if you can order one at this price for when they come back into stock

This lens any good on a 50D?

 

[bartoszwozniak]

I have just had this lens for my 40D and it is a great, versatile and sharp lens. I find it great!

It's the best value for money zoom lens on the market (imo), ideal for motorsport:

Hey ~ anybody know if there is an option to use a 2x converter (or similar) with this lens? I've got one for my 400d and I would like to extend the range if at all possible.

Thanks

 

[trapper501]

oh, shame

 

[trapper501]

not sure convertors ever fit EF-S do they?

 

[Craft]

AFAIK you can't use converters with the lens..

i'd try listing it on here if you haven't already - saves on fees etc.

Probably not the canon ones, I put a kenko 1.4x TC on a tamron 70-300mm and it worked, both AF and metering, not saying it'd be any good but it did work so the kenko may work with this lens

I got mine from: www.buyacamera.co.uk for £155

No problems and quick delivery. Not had chance to properly try it out yet but all seems well and the IS is stunning.

My favourite lens. It's such a pleasure to use. Unfortunately I don't shoot much long stuff so it doesn't see much sun.

After delivery charges it works out a TOTAL of £161.98

Looks like this is ideal then as it's in stock

Glad I could be of some help. It was certainly the best deal I could find when I was looking a month or so ago.
