OT: Duh, the filter on the camera makes a huge difference.

The 70-200 2.8 IS is a great lens. Spendy yes, but it’s worth it. The IS does make a difference. I balked at it until I bought a lens that has it. Now I won’t buy a long lens without it. depending on what you are shooting you might want to look at the 100-400 IS. I just got it and for shooting wildlife or airshows its fabulous.

B&H has decent prices but Buydig.com beats em. I’ve bought a ton of stuff from them over several years so don’t worry about them being a Broadway Camera type outfit. They are a solid vendor. No hanky panky grey market bait a switch garbage.

If anyone has a 17-40mm they want to part with at a decent price lemme know.

Are you considering getting another lens? If so, I might be interested in a trade. I got a almost new 67 tiffen filter + a 17-55 kit lens that I’d be interested in trading :)[/quote]
I am considering getting another lens eventually. The lens I’m eying is theCanon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM . I’m confused, are you talking about this 17-55 or the 18-55mm kit lens.

Oops. I meant the 18-55 kit lens. my bad 🙂

There was comparison between the efs 17-55 2.8 to the tamron 17-50. The tamron supposedly is sharper, but again it doesn’t have IS.

I only use polarizer filters which remove glare and reflections.

Same here. Shoot in RAW mode and take care of the rest later, instead of using a UV filter.

Backpacking through Europe was first time my using the polarizing filters. What a difference!

Inside the train going through the Swiss Alps, windows covered with reflections…but the polarizing filter knocks those reflections off the windows.

Later outside the train, shooting Swiss Alp peaks against a blue-sky spattered with puffy white clouds. The polarizer makes the clouds “pop out” from the blue sky. Really nice effect.

You know what AMAZES me? How many stupid Americans carrying around digital SLR costing over $1000 (just for the body)….yet watch them take five photos and realize they are CLUELESS on the very basics of photography. (They need to spend $100 on a photog class at their local community college instead of spening $1,000 for an SLR body)

A CLASSIC retard move I saw one thousand expensive-SLR carrying tourists make: position their family member before a backdrop of incredibly bright sunlit snow or clouds yet the subject has shadows on their face, then shoot without fill-flash. “Gosh Martha, why them faces all black in our photos? That snow look real good though.”
