Danger Dassie Posted March 7, 2008 Share There is a worse lens, the sigma 75-300 .... Don't waste your money on this.Take a look at the Canon 17-85 or Sigma 17-70 Some hate Canon's 28-135, but I know of one two people who are happy with theirs.

Pantani Posted March 7, 2008 Share Don't waste your money on this.Take a look at the Canon 17-85 or Sigma 17-70 I have agreed to buy a camera with this lens in the deal... So I sort of have to take it. But the price is good, suppose I could sell this lens and buy something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonW Posted March 7, 2008 Share Hi, If you need a decent Canon telephoto either get the 70-200 f4 L or possibly the 70-300 IS USM. I think both cost about R 7 000 though, so it really depends how much you want to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gert Janse v Rensburg Posted March 7, 2008 Share If you go Canon you cant go wrong... Canon is the bench mark... (My personal opinion) Ive gat a friend that does sport fotage and he says that he wont go anything less than Canon.... But its all upto what you like i think...

AndreZA Posted March 7, 2008 Share If you sell it you will have to settle for about R1500 for it and then you still gonna wait for a gullable buyer. If you want that range, you will have to save to get a 70-200 F4 L. I think they go for about 6.5k. Mampara2008-03-07 04:48:15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anytime you want a hand lemme know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a number of Canon MKIII and 40D users who would disagree right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you're telling me if I find a gullible buyer... What? Is this lens that bad??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
