Hi guys, Back home finally after a long day out.. Thanks alot for all the posts, but I think I have to clarify some key issues: 1. I DO intend to get the lens because I feel it fits my shooting preferences, so this thread is not about whether or not I should get the lens. That's why I...

Erixkorn, thanks for sharing, never thought about the weight distribution factor. Reason why I'm getting the 24-105mm is I feel very limited by the Tamron for daytime walkabout because of its range and lack of IS. Budget is a big issue here, so 70-200mm/xxD is out of the question...

Hello boys and girls, After 9 months of eating bread and drinking water, I am almost ready to pull the trigger on the 24-105mm f4L. Now I could use your expert opinions on the following: 1. What are the main characteristics of the 24-105 lens that I absolutely MUST check when I go down...

Actually I think it depends on your shooting needs. I currently own a Tamron 17-50mm and it works great as a utility lens in low light and indoor situations when I'm not using my prime lenses. That being said, I'm intending to get my hands on the 24-105mm F/4L for outdoor day-shoots due to...

Same situation, i'm having trouble deciding if I should get the 430EX II or the 580EX II, not sure if the S$200 increase will justify my use for it. I like doing low-light photography though, and a good flash is useful for group shots and the like. From what I gather, the 580EX II has a...

Hey thanks alot for the advice guys! I'm quite the DIY kind, so thanks for the link to the DIY post fatigue! I think if there's still fungus on the inner 2 elements that are sealed then I prob will just replace with a good second hand copy on B&S. Thread closed!

Hey guys, I've just semi-inherited 3 of my sisters lenses which she uses on her film SLR (28mm f2.8, 50mm f1.8 and 85mm f1.8). All warranties on the lenses are expired, naturally. It's been a long time since she last took them out of the dry box though, so after close inspection, I found...

My experience is very similar to mynameisgreg. When I was looking for the ideal set-up to purchase, my main considerations was budget (S$1.5-1.6k) and main purpose of the camera. I think you have to tell us what kind of photos you'd like to take mostly: 1. The S$700 for an extra 150mm...

Ouch, I think the hassle of replacing everything is even more painful than the cost of the items man.. Anyone know if its possible to track down a specific camera based on the photos that was taken on it (like if the serial no. of the camera is in the metadata or something)? Then again...

How big a difference is the IS and non-IS? Can anyone point me to a resource that does a direct comparison?

Actually the thought has crossed my mind to upgrade my camera body, but no lar, can't bring myself to do it. Besides, lenses can keep for a long long time and reuse for different camera bodies whereas the camera bodies themselves will always keep getting better and better. Any thoughts on...
