BlueWolf Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Looks like a good lens (as far as I can tell, I only have Canon lenses to compare with). I have a similar zoom lens, except that it does 75-300mm and has less features. Your diafragma is nearly the same as mine which means that the lens is no good at low light conditions! The more you zoom in, the more light you need. Though yours is better quality so it may differ a bit. Note that the stabiliser uses more battery when turned on. You probably only need it when it's cloudy outside or when you want to film with it. Other than that, looks like a good lens! Zoom lenses are always great fun to play with. They're especially great with animals because you can make photos of them without them noticing you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May need your advise on lenses for the Canon at some point Jos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueWolf Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 May need your advise on lenses for the Canon at some point Jos Sure! But note I'm not an expert on this too Sites like http://lenshero.com/ are really good with writing the the specifications in plain English. I'd suggest using the compare tool to compare the lens you want to buy with the lens you currently have and research the things that are different and what they do to the picture quality.
