I sold my 600D and am the very proud owner of a new 6D. I still have my Sigma AF 8-16mm f/4.5-5.6 DC HSM which is for cropped sensors. After some investigation as to why not to use lenses made for cropped sensors on full frame, I decided to give it a...
Thanks for reading this.I really like taking photos of things like insects and little lizards. I found a really cool praying mantis yesterday in the garden and took a few shots of it. I used my 70-200 with the 1.4 tc which was pretty good, but obviou...
I've been reading that 2x teleconverters aren't that great. That they can cause a lot of image quality loss as well as slowing down or even stopping auto focus from working altogether. What do I need to know about teleconverters to make an educated p...
I've had my DSLR for about a year and I'm hooked. I take it everywhere with me. I'm looking to replace the kit lenses I have with something that's going to keep me happy for a long time. I've been eyeing off an EF 70-300mm f4.5-5.6 L IS USM. Or possi...

Wow, thank you so much. I love this forum. So many people willing to share their experience. I have much reading and digesting to do. I'm blown away by your generosity.Cheers,Cg.
@ cicopo. Thank you. That's a hell of a lot of information.@ ebiggs1. Thank you also for your insight. From the information I have researched so far, I was leaning towards the sigma 1.4.I'm not buying for a while, so I have plenty of time to learn mo...
I think I've found the lens for me. It has all the features of the $2600 70-200 f2.8 IS, but is only $1100. It's the sigma 70-200 f2.8 ex dg os hsm. Granted its sharpness towards the corners isn't right up there with the canon, and it doesnt have the...
Wow, I never expected this much input. This community is awesome. Luckily I'm on holidays from work and have all the time to digest all this information and investigate all your suggestions.@scottyP, the17-55 that you mention. I'm assuming you mean t...
