thank you for all of those.

I agree with all the above - i actually use mine for macro work and portraits as well - check out the link and pm me if you need to ask anything else.

I am willing to spend in and around the 70-100 range but it would need to be a great model for the ton.

Hi folks

I will have a little bit of cash to buy something in a couple of weeks. Money doesnt come my way very often so it has to be a good purchase.

Having thought about it long enough I have decided to opt for something like a 28 or 35mm for general use and a little bit of macro work.

It doesnt have to be a brand spank lens or even autofocus just something that will yield great results on my K-x.

I know some people have already sent me pm's and messages on the subject but please remind me because I have lost all my messages.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks lads

Good man - will check those out!



Quick question and a little embarassing

Does 50mm equate to a different focal range with a digital camera?

QC

Thanks guys for that

Alan?

I have the kit 18 55 mate and the 50 200

Cheers for the input Carl

Stu - can you pm me about your experiences with THAT lens etc?

Would love to hear more about cheapies on ebay and other DA stuff.

Ta

please help me.

I am getting overwhelmed by the amount of lenses on the internet and cannot make up my mind.

Perhaps someone can recommend one if I give you the low down?

I believe people take photos, not the camera. Meaning that I am not a "gear hoe" and can happily snap away with any sort of equipment.

I mostly shoot birds (have the sigma 150 500) but am interested in doing more general things - street, portrait, a bit of close up work...

A general do all job that will fit nicely on my K-x

I am also interested in some of the lenses that appear on ebay - manual ones. Can you recommend any of those>

Thanks!

I use my 150 500 every day - on my lunch hour at work I take it with me and do my 20 minute walk capturing everything from birds to flowers. I have used the 120 400 and can assure you that there IS a difference in quality. Admitedly its still not hot as some primes wide open but on a sunny day the Sigma 150 500 IS as good as a Canon or Nikon F4 - I dont care what anyone will reply to that. Its a great lens and is too easily overlooked.

Please check out my photos below on my Flickr account. All my bird shots are with the lens and the cherry blossom is with it as well.
