Woops, my finger slipped.

Erm, it seems ive accidentally ordered a 10-20mm Sigma, nevermind eh.

So now im waiting for delivery of; My new bag, a spare battery and a lens. All I need now are some UV or clear filters.

I hate you! Haha, thats the lens I want but the bank is holding me back

drunken fool · 3 Jul 2007 at 22:03

i keep looking at that lens but need to sort a couple of other things first. Mainly, i want a Canon 28-135 IS USM first as i have been enjoying the use of a 28-70 L USM over the last few weeks however it's not quite long enough for a walkabout lens.

Messiah Khan · 3 Jul 2007 at 22:07

I think something like the 50-500 is next on my list. Then probably the 18-200 for a cheap and cheerfull walkabout lens.

Gah, hate you!

Just you wait till you have mortgage, wife and family!! (you may already have mortgage though!) then you will have to sell all this equipment to pay for them!!

I would love the Sigma 10-20 as well....hope you get a decent copy.

Messiah Khan · 3 Jul 2007 at 22:15

Nope, no mortgage, wife or family. The plan is to buy buy buy before I move out to my own place and become poor. Aye, fingers crossed for a sharp one.

You poor sod! Well you will be now.

Hopefully posting some pics taken with the 10-22 will help ease the muscular strain that a slipped finger inevitably causes.

I am thinking of biting the bullet and ordering this lens sometime soon. Be sure to post some test pics when you get it

Ditto, however I will have to wait a month+.

A definitive review from a reliable source may sway me though so let me know what its like when it arrives

Do you want wide angle pics of rain, puddles or clouds?

Correct answer, lol. And my feet and the back of my head at the same time!

I could do with some UV/Clear filters fro this one and my macro lens. Has anyone got the Hoya Pro ones? Im quite partial to my one and only B&W filter so im tempted by these. Would this be a sensible investment in you lot's opinion?

King4aDay · 3 Jul 2007 at 23:19

To be honest I'd be tempted just to get a CPL for the 10-20. Assuming you'll be shoointg mostly landscapes with it, its a worth investment and will likely remain on the lens most of the time anyway.

Well I went with the B&W UV filters in 72 and 77mm for now. I did hover over the B&W 77mm CPL filter (Damn good price from Hong Kong), but I think i'll probably wait until I get a square filter system. (Thinking Cokin Z-Pro holder with a mix of Hitech and Lee filters)
