been browsing the pages on this thread, i think e OT shows you guys are a bunch of friendly peeps!

(tho it may go against rules la). oh well.
btw, hi everyone~ i'm using the 450D also~ will start posting qns and hope to learn from everyone here!!
am currently contemplating getting the tammy 17-50 & a 55-250 as these 2 will be my first upgrade of lenses from my kit lens. think alot of threads had been started IRT these 2 lenses. i just hope i'll not get a dud or with the back, front focusing problem.
was sooooo swayed to get the canon 17-55 but just can't justify spending that amount of $ although can bite bullet and go with credit card installment.
