bromsgrove_avfc Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Nikon AF-S DX 35mm f1.8G Good lens?? Yes. In terms of value for money, absolutely brilliant lens. It's awesome in low light, very easily carried about, and you'll use it loads. Get one would be my strong recommendation. Thanks Mart. I can get one for under 150 quid which seems a good bargain based against prices elsewhere and I was seriously tempted from the reviews for the exact reasons you mention Mart. OK it's treat myself time me thinks If it's not that one, there's one going for 125 on Talk Photography. I've got one in mint condition you can buy for £125 if you want. I recently bought the 50mm? Let me know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetrees Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Quick help with a dilemma please. I se a Canon EOS400D with a 75-300mm zoom, virtually every day. The lens is old, and i have for some time coveted the L series 100-400mm, for which i have now saved the pennies. The idea was to buy this lens and combine it with a new body, probably a 60D, keeping the 400D for 28-135mm, as I don't like changing over lenses on digital SLRs. The dilemma is that there is a Sigma 120-400mm, which provides me with the desired extra length, and the image stabilisation, but is not as advanced (apparently) but is nearly 500 quid cheaper. I have no experience of Sigma. Are they worth considering, or is it a case of you get what you pay for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very heavy though, so you'll need a way of stabilising it, especially in poorish light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted March 9, 2012 Moderator Share Posted March 9, 2012 as I don't like changing over lenses on digital SLRs. SHouldnt be a problem with a new body, most new bodies have an auto sensor cleaner these days, my D300 one is great, never seen a speck of dust on it in 4 years As for Sigma, it really does depend on the lens, some are good, some are awful, You ned to do your homework on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I was over on Portland earlier in the week and found this place. Didn't have much time and only had the office snaps camera on me. But looked interesting, I'll try and get back there with a bit more time to play with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
