I was more referring to the fact that I can't zoom in very far b/c it only has an 18-55mm range..but yeah, I see what you mean about the shutter speed being too slow. Ah. Well those longer lenses get expensive, and your probably going to want image stabilization for shooting free hand. -------------------- |

It's officially my new baby, so much nicer than my unmentionable wide-angle zoom. Playing around with it:

Remember when buying a lens, consider the future. If you have no plans on ever upgrading your camera, you can go with EF-S lenses. If your like me, and eventually plan to upgrade to a pro-DSLR, you need to think about the lenses mounts. EF-S will not fit anything but 1.6x bodies, meaning only the Rebel series.
Mercury what wide angle were u using? This post has been edited by Supersprynt: Aug 4, 2008 - 9:16 AM -------------------- |

Mercury what wide angle were u using? They fit the 20/30/40D's also (unless of course those are also referred to as rebels in zee US.). The way I see it, when I get to the point where I can afford a 1DS mkIII, I'll also be able to afford to upgrade to an L series zoom  .I'm still using it. 18-55 non-IS. Oh how I loathe it's crappy construction and optics. -------------------- |

This is true enough. I hope to one day get a full frame. I do have a 17-40 f4L, which is a great lens.
