good good...glad to know i'm wrong :) haha dunno why lots of shots that i wanna take seems to involve longer shutter time..so means i should get a tripod right? know if all tripods are the same ..i buy one for 300D now and use it for 7D later? Yea i know based on my knowledge...300D and 7D...

I am interested in this lens as well.. J316 in Funan quoted me $1150 and another shop in 1st floor Penisular quoted $1080 Anyway know where can get better price? Canon lens prices went up these few months?

Thanks for your prompt reply Reim Yes me currently using the 85mm f1.8 Is this a good lens? What is it good for? To add, i also prefer to have a wide angle len..so i should really wait for 15-85mm.

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and new to DSLR cameras etc I had the intention of buying either a 500D or 50D with a 24-105mmL lens. However, i was advised that since i am just starting i should consider something basic with kit lens. My uncle gave me his 300D with a 85mm lens ( i...
