Hey bro thanks for the advice! I think I was enticed by the red ring of the L version... Haha...
Anyway, got your 60D? You know I sort of miss my 550D. It is much lighter than my 60D man!

the 180mm is also a L lens, but it's not popular, due to not man people using it. but I see most shooters specialized in macro shooting would some sort of lack that the focal length is not wide enough.
60D ?? still waiting for someone to adopt it... haiz..

Hello!
4 months old 550D user here.
I mainly shoot rollerblading skating at the skateparks and weddings on the weekend.
My lens of choice are Sigma 10-20mm f4-5.6 EX DC HSM and 50mm f1.8.
Also got myself a 3rd party battery grip from eBay.
Do get yourself a battery grip if you do events, it helps when you're using heavier lens and you wont have much finger ache after that (I used a 400D with no grip and 24-70 f4 L, my fingers ached!)

Price should be about $185 iirc.
Does anyone know any shop that stock the original battery grip? Thanks

I will put this to a limit of 10 people due to the equipments and with more people, I guess it will be messy and difficult for the person who would give a talk.
Rare chance, overall it's a free session and at the same time, with model to shoot.

got new updates, keeping my body and saving up for an ultimate lens, the 28mm f/1.8 USM !
As you can see, right now I'm with the 17-50 and 85 and 8mm. I can continue using them if I change to a 60D. I'm fine with the top up of $650, but problem is, I don't get what I want, the micro adjustment, the MG Body. My next won't be the 7D too, paying so much yet for a Crop body.
So, right now, stick back to the 550D, get the 28mm, most probably my next upgrade will be the 5D mark II or the 1D mark III, and just using the 28mm and 85mm.
In that case, after some calculation, I won't be losing much money with a major upgrade. Then instead, i will be saving more.
