I have the 18-270mm and am loving it! check the reviews! It is a tad heavy for the 550D though. If you're too close and need to use flash, the lens barrel will cast a shadow on your subject. IS is fantastic and a must have! Auto focusing in low light is quite a challenge and you need to learn some special techniques in getting it focused.
 

Welcome :)

Which dry cabi u r looking for?

Looking at the 30L for $118 (quoted by most shops)
Am also looking for a bag. >.< the free bag is ... :bigeyes:

hey guys i juz wanna conduct a sample poll among us 550D users.

if u were selling a lens at BnS, u close a deal with a buyer who is willing to pay ur listed price. will u back out and sell to a guy who offers u $20-$30 more? (i know $50++ most ppl cant resist and will juz sell to the highest bidder)

u think for yourself. Is the $30 worth your reputation? next time, if you were to sell something again, people might not trust u anymore. but if really alot more money, i will sell to highest bidder lol;)
 

u might want to check back with the previous buyer and if his response is positive, then just go ahead with the highest bid.

Just my 2 cent worth of comment.

Personally I would not recommend that.

If you intended to sell to the highest, right upfront, indicate as "Bidding from S$XXXX" with a closing date and perhaps a BNP.

Otherwise not very professional. I had encounter one who list a deal and I agree to the price, then he replied the current bid is S$30 more than what is listed (where there is no mention of bidding in the first place) and I tell him nevermind them. Later I understand that the "higest bidder" has back out.

yeah there is, but must use remote than can activate it

You don't have to use a remote to activate. Try switching to 'Manual' mode on your camera, adjust shutter speed to the slowest, you'll get 'bulb'.
