What do you want to know :D shoot me a PM

 

[aussieant32]

lol everything. I think I need to camera in front of me first

 

[MTG]

Possibly when are you getting it?

 

[aussieant32]

I would say next weekend. I wont get a chance to get to shops this week and away for the weekend.

I had a laugh at some of the recommendations :p. I asked a similar question as you some time ago and this was my reply at the time:

You single guys are amazing :pI have got approval to spend $800 on new Tunze pumps - I have also got tentative approval to buy a new camera for around $1k and here you are increasing the cost by 100% :eek:You will learn, it might not be tomorrow, but you WILL learn.

I would highly recommend the Tamron 90mm macro lens - if you want to take half decent close up's of your tank then you will need a macro.

very easy to spend other peoples money :)

Is the Tamron 70-300mm F/4-5.6 Di LD Macro 1.2 lens any good?

not good for macros. get a dedicated 60-90mm macro

defiantly one of the most fun lens, i love wide angles the most tho!

Nothing suitable at Costco in your range. Get it from Harvey.

Save your cash for either an upgrade down the track or some better glass...

 

[MTG]

good glass is what makes for a nice clean crisp image, this was taken on my 500D with a nice lens (10-22) sad i cant use it on my full frame camera :(

 

[MTG]

and this on the 6D with 24-105L, although the 24-105 isnt a very good landscape lens :P need to start saving :(

Amusing thread :p

$369 single lens kit, $390 double lens kit.

Gets great reviews.

Guess it comes down to whether you want a Four-Thirds camera or full size.

 

[MTG]

depends what your after i guess, i realy like the new OMD, pricey tho!

 

[chimaera]

pricey tho!

Don't start that again :rolleyes

 

[MTG]

haha no no i wont :D

 

[MTG]

Did you get it yet!?
