I'm Switching to Canon....Want Advice on Lenses!

[Munky]

You might find the following comparison review interesting if you are considering the 70-200mm f2.8 options on the market.

Also remember that the 70-200mm f4 canon might be sharper at f4 than the f2.8 - but that both lenses produce sharp and usable images - its really a splitting hairs argument more than one having a distinct advantage over the other - whilst the fact that the f2.8 can shoot at f2.8 whilst the f4 can't is a real world difference.

Thanks Very Much for your Reply i've been thinking ever since i saw it; the tamron 70-200 2.8 it's looking pretty good! but its out of budget at the moment!

I returned the 1D and the 7D; I Haven't Bought it yet; since Almost all the "too good to be true" seller on eBay seem to sell 'grey market' 'no warranty' items; i think i'll end up with B&H so it'll cost a lot more....

I saw this, not sure if it will work for you but worth trying if you are interested: Canon 7D (body only) $1331 @ Sears after 10% discount and 8% BCB - SlickDeals.net Forums

I fiddled around on the Sears PR site and got a Discount!

 

[Munky]

I haven't done that in a while but this is how it is suppose to work: You go to bing.com and search for keywords like "LCD TV", "Camera", etc. until you see sears.com in your search results with "Bing Cashback" icon next to it. Then you click on that icon and just do your purchase.

Good luck!

I use a Canon 24-70 2.8L for portraits. It never comes off my camera. if you can handle the price, its a great lens.

Indeed it is i had it for 5 Days and I loved it; unfortunately; i dont anymore and my budget is bit short; but luckily i got the 17-50 2.8 VC which will serve my needs; after i get a few bucks back i'll get a Zoom !
