[QUOTE="Tony Eeds, post: 938041, member: 32023"] Nikon :fft: :) I've always been a Canon man. Anybody still shoot film? I have 3 F1 Bodies and 9 FD series lens that I am getting ready to put on the evil auction site. Seriously, to Chili's comments about lens selections, I would never knock the quality of Sigma or Vivitar lens without trying them out. They have come a long way since I purchased my first AE1 back in the early 1970's. As Carlo said, the IS UCM lens are the state of the art at the moment and the L series glass is also at the peak. Evolution not Revolution is the name of the game in lens anymore with the use of computers for design of same. One final thought, always try out a lens if possible before purchase. Many dealers will allow you to shoot photos in the store or you can often rent the lens that you are looking at. If you can shoot in the store, pick some buzy pattern that fully fills the viewfinder and shoot away. Go home and load them up and analyse your results. Shoot the lens at a striped test pattern to determine the barrel distortion that you will get. Use the entire range of aperatures if possible. You will notice the difference. Watch for articles in the major mags on lens. They are not like moto mags in that they do not BS you, because they will quickly disappear if they do. Sometimes an f4 prime lens is better than an f2.8 off brand lens. I'm with Carlo on the IS lens. I love both of mine! [/QUOTE]
