Lens wishlist! - shuttertalk - Jul 4, 2004

What hot piece of glass are you looking to buy next?

Lens wishlist! - lemangoholic - Jul 8, 2004

I'm planning to get a new lens for my nikon d70... with longer zoom...
Any suggestion?

Lens wishlist! - shuttertalk - Jul 8, 2004

Not really familar with the Nikon lenses unfortunately... Sad

Perhaps someone else could suggest something?

Lens wishlist! - lemangoholic - Jul 11, 2004

That's cool... anyone out there who can give some advice? Big Grin

Shuttertalk, since you have the same camera as myself could you give a breif list of lenses available to the S5000?

Lens wishlist! - shuttertalk - Jul 12, 2004

I haven't really looked into it - pretty happy with the 37mm to 370mm (equiv.) zoom already...

However, you can get wide angle and teleconverters for it. From what I hear, there are some produced by Fuji, Raynox and TCon I think.

mmmm ... a 2x teleconverter would be sweet...
L Series USM with IS ... if ionli i could afford one ..

but i might get a peleng 8mm wide conversion ..
since on the 300D its effectively 12mm ... you only lose a bit of the corners ...
on a standard camera it gives a 180 degree view ...

i might go for the 14mm wide conversion thought ..bing less extreme...

the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 USM IS is on the list Smile

Lens wishlist! - dewy - Jul 17, 2004

I jsut got a 'thread converter' and a 'Super Wide 0.42X' on a loan from my dad who had them sitting collecting dust form when he used his 35mm Pentax (don't know model or anything, will post pic when I work out how to set up ym camera to work in linux =]) So I have a new toy to play with =)

Canon 75-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM...need something with image stabiliser and good zoom...

Lens wishlist! - Mr_Gadget - Jul 17, 2004

Does anybody know any good places to buy Canon lenses online?

Lens wishlist! - adam - Jul 17, 2004

for cheap prices, centre.net.au seems to have the cheapest;
if you want to buy from US (could be cheaper), try bhphotovideo.com Smile

Lens wishlist! - peter - Jul 17, 2004

mmmm ..IS ... *Drools* .. i wish my 90-300mm USM had IS ...
then it would be l33t ...

Lens wishlist! - adam - Jul 18, 2004

Save up! You work! that's a start Tongue

I'm saving up; without any income: it's quite hard;
I'll get a job soon, and some money; to fund this GAS of mine (gear aquisition syndrom - often found in guitarists)

Lens wishlist! - peter - Jul 18, 2004

where are you getting one from ? ..im thinking of buying some mid range lenses ..
but IS .. i needs that ...

makes the lens look chunkier and more pro .. but most of all .. it helps my shaky hand a bit with stabalising..

Lens wishlist! - dewy - Jul 21, 2004

What is 'IS'?

Lens wishlist! - peter - Jul 21, 2004

Image Stabilisation ..
It sort of compensates for a slightly wobbly hand ..

Lens wishlist! - dewy - Jul 21, 2004

Oh I need IS 8x then =P, Is it a camera mode or lense?

Lens wishlist! - peter - Jul 21, 2004

its a lens type ...
they cost like more then double standard lenses with just USM ...

Lens wishlist! - peter - Jul 21, 2004

i was looking in the stores for a 50mm F/1.8

lowest ive seen is 170 bucks ,.
with postage itll cost me about 160 online ...
i wonder if its worth the extra 10 bucks to get it from a shop nearby ...
