Wide Angle or Ultra Wide Angle for landscapes but then again, having said that, I also use my 55-250 to capture a single subject for landscapes that is too far away from me.

[emotic]

I'm facing these problems now...

1) Which 3rd party speedlite to buy? Budget $200 only;p

2) Which lens to bring for holiday? I hv 18-55mm, 70-300mm and 50mm;p

3) Tamron 18 - 270mm good or not? How much?;p

Hope you guys can help...

that's all for now... thanks

1) Sunpak PZ42X (~ $210) / Nissin (~ $250). I have the Sunpak.

2) Bring your kit lens. Bring the zoom if you going somewhere to shoot wild life / street.

3) Read the reviews. Don't know too much about this lens as yet. Not a big fan of superzooms.
