Mizouse

dammit, why does it have to be the 70-200 2.8 IS, why not the non-is

EuRTSX

They better have these coupons again in a couple months

Scrib

Any recommendations on a good lens for my XTi? One that won't break the bank?

EuRTSX

Jump the gun and get a 70-200mm f2.8 IS

But all those lens are great.

That's kind of like asking is there a good mod for my car. What are you looking to shoot?

For a good general walk-around lens, I'm coveting the EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS. I currently have the EF-S 17-85 as my walk-around; and it's definitely not a bad lens, but it has a bit too much edge distortion at the wider end for my taste. It is, however, much less expensive, and still a more than decent lens.

Of course, if you shoot primarily landscapes, or want to shoot wildlife, portraits, macros, etc., that changes things...

stogie1020

It narrows the price gap between the two to only around $450 though....

That would only be 11 plasma donations, or 68 trips to the sperm bank. No, I haven't given this any thought or anything....

Mizouse

yea but i wont be able to afford the extra 450 until my next pay check and having the 70-200 2.8 non-is is what i use to earn that pay check ;(

jupitersolo

The reabtes are for just about any Sandisk Memory, take a look at the reabte form on that page.


Not sure if I need anymore, but tempted get a couple 8gigs at those prices.

stogie1020

I am going to get a couple of 4Gbs

jupitersolo

I find I fill them up too fast (I shoot RAW and Large jpeg), 8gbs is about the biggest I'll try. Don't want to many eggs in one basket.

stogie1020

Wow, RAW plus large JPG. :wow: I will now have 2x4GB and 2x2GB for my week in Mexico... Should be enough, as I am bringing a laptop to offload to each night...

EuRTSX

I think my 2 x 4GB and 1 2GB is good enough for me as of right now.
