Is it priced accordingly to their tripods?

£180 for the bag.

Phate · 27 Jul 2018 at 19:03

That is MUCH cheaper than I expected!

Schizo · 27 Jul 2018 at 19:07

I've never looked at anything Gitzo to be honest m8,I liked the bag and it's amazing in the flesh,perfect size for my canon 750d with a canon 24-70 L 2.8 attached,70-200 and a 24-100 and a few other bits.

Schizo · 27 Jul 2018 at 19:16

It's a bag that will go out on special occasions.

Phate · 27 Jul 2018 at 23:14

Does look very nice, enjoy

Schizo · 28 Jul 2018 at 21:07

I'm really lost when it comes to lenses as i'm so new to Photography, it's all quite baffling.

What would the benefit be going for one of these? Much sharper images?

Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L USM?

Compare to the 70-300?

Fixed aperture, image stablisation, faster focusing, sharper.

F4 is a lot better,f4 is just one stop away from 2.8 which is the one you want.

I have a F4 lens and it's super sharp.

What is your budget ?

Schizo · 28 Jul 2018 at 21:16

The 70-200 is a great lens and better than the 70-300 by miles.

This is only my second lens so budget i'm not too sure at the moment, i'm not against spending what i need.

Is this the 2.8 you mean?

Yes that's the one but you can get the first version for £450 to £500 and that's still one of the best 70-200 out there.

Schizo · 28 Jul 2018 at 21:33

What camera have you got ?

Cheers.

Does the IS version offer sharper images than the non IS version?

Entry level Canon 1300D with the 18-55mm zoom lens.
