too heavy?...would that be the biggest disadvantage?

...I got a back pack though.

I mean, with a 70-200 you're going to need a lot of space for your pics. I would say a lens like that is best for shooting wildlife and shots where you can't just walk to get closer to.

I have a 55-210 and I hardly use it.

But its good for zoom too no?...if anything I can just crop out the un-needed parts of the pics....should I get rid of my 28-135?

 

[GoldenGlove]

Yeah, you'll be fine zooming with that, if that's what you're looking for.

I don't know about ditching the 28-135 though.

i think i'ma get rid of the 28mm to put $ towards the 70mm.

 

[GoldenGlove]

So what other lens do you have? Is the 70-200 going to be the only one you have if you get rid of the 28-135?

I Just got the 28 and the 50mm...the 28 didn't cut it at a concert I helped cover, especially with it not being good with low light. 50mm is good for low light but its too close.

lens range and "it not being good with low light" has little to nothing to do with each other

28-135 is not too sharp on zooms and its, and I record also and its not good in low light for recording...the 50mm is much better in low light but its not wide at all....i'm thinking of getting the 70mm which is sharper on zooming and is better to record with in lower light and is wider.

Bro...i was breaking down pretty much how I used the lens...the 28-135 doesn't cut it in concert setting eventhough its cool with range but the f gets too high as i'm zooming in and shyt comes out dark. The 50mm is better in the lower light but its too close up to the subjects and there's no zooming out. the 28mm I have stops at 3.5, I want a 2.8

Cop an F2.8 Zoom. Thats pretty much the best you can get.

If you have Canon, L Glass should do.

yeah, thats why im interested in the 70-200mm f/2.8

 

[mortuus est]

So does everyone here side with digital?

thinking of in copping canon a1 off ebay in good condition, for goin out on quick missions n stuff

 

[Mr.Grinch]

Is this a good deal if I can get them down to $300. Im a starter and dont have a lot of money to spend.
