FUJI 16,174 Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 TC just a heads up of what I've found in my limited time taking a few pics whilst roaming the countryside,I've bought lenses Tamron,Sigma that fit the Canon but unless your going into the high end lenses by those manufacturers then Canon's equivalent are BETTER.A very sharp lens of Canons is the EF 28-70mm F3.5-4.5 mark 2 with the metal mount an old lens but it really is impressive,read the reviews bud in testing it almost equals that of the L Series lens of similar length.That and a 70-200mm F4 L Series is pretty much all you would need mate,ive fallen & broken half a dozen lenses whilst out & about lol but i did buy the 70-200mm for less than £300 & I'm glad i did & up to press it's survived a good few knocks,I've one or two half decent pics from it,i have loads of lenses lol but the 70-200mm is the one i use most unless just photographing landscapes & stuff.Mine hasn't got the image stabilisation but i can live with that.Its pretty light & is worth the money imo.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tiercel 6,986 Posted April 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 One from last week..Canon 50d,EF 70-200mm F4 L Series That is a good photo. Many thanks for the advice, taken on board. I did have some money saved, but a dishwasher, hover and Iron going in one 5 day period sort of took care of that. TC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hjckcff 1,737 Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 ive had money saved for a better lens three times. car got the first stash . then a new washing machine. and the latest was took by the vet. i would like a good wildlife lens but will need to piss with the cock ive got untill i can get a decent one. it would need to be at least 300 at the long end maybe longer 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
top dog 1 3,148 Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 I fancy a telephoto lens, and after looking at all the lens in my affordable bracket I came up with this lens. https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Shops/Canon-8546B002-EF-55-250-STM-Lens/B00EP71ETU It does not have the range of a 75-300mm but from what I have read what it lacks in range it makes up for in sharpness in that price bracket. Has anyone tried this lens, if you have your opinions please. BTW I will be using it with a canon Rebel T3i which is a cropped frame camera. TC I use that lens mate its not a bad lens 55 250 stm 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
