I got the Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG Macro HSM II new for half the price of the canon. After reading many reviews user could find very little difference in quality between the non IS canon 2.8 and the sigma. http://www.dpreview.com/lensreviews/sigma_70-200_2p8_n15/” onclick=”window.open(this.href);return false;

I have to say . I find it very well built.

i am also looking for a better than kit lens for bike. Mondello and forest enduro offroad is what I want to shoot.

I have been searching the web and find that the sigma 70-200 f2.8 is a good substitute for the canon. Its half the price but does not have IS. I dont think that would matter to much anyways as the shutter speed would fast to shoot fast bikes anyways.

I know harvey norman have one for sale so I nipped up for a look at it in the flesh. Its really heavy. But feels fantastic. Has a real professional feel to it.
They also have the canon 70-200 is f4 up there and they let me use it on my 1000d around the shop. It was much lighter but the slower speed may be an issue on an over cast day or in a dark forest.

I have seen the sigma 70-200 f2.8 new on the net for 580 pounds .

I have 500 euro saved so I have a small bit to go. I will post the results when i get it.

Hi,

It would be better if you embedded the photo as just linking to it will prevent most people from even looking at it I’m afraid.

Check out the FAQ post here for help on that. resize-post-images-using-irfanview-flickr-updated-t34927.html

cheers

thanks for the advise.

I got it printed in 12″x16″ . So glad i went for a higher pixel 1000d cam now.

I also brightened it one click on the machine in harvey normans.

Cost 7 euro for the big photo and ended up being free when a got a frame for 25 euro. Very happy with the service and price up there in Naas.

The back ground was a little busy but it was an opportunistic shot at the time.

Im going to take the pic down from flickr in a few days as its a present.
I will use your advise alan in the future. much appreciated.

I got a Cannon 1000d with a free one day basic corse. Not till feb 2011

I have been taking shots for the last few hours but find all the controls abit baffling.

But even in auto mode it takes fantastic photos. Well i think so anyways .

here is a sample of two I took of the kids dwarf hamsters. these guys are very small . like field mice

im very happy with it so far and have a book to study as well.

cant wait to explore the advanced settings

I am a keen fly fisherman also . I also find beuaty in fly casting and trout jumping on the lakes and rivers. pics from a google image search

I would love to take photos in this type of scenario. It would be golden if I could capture a shot of a fish taking a fisherman’s fly. I cant seem to find such a pic on the net. Just that moment when it jumps for the flyhook and snaps the line tight out of the water.

Im guessing the kit lens would be useless for this type of shot.

What type of set up would one require to get close up to a 20 foot cast into a lake or freeze the line flying through the air during casting
