Done monsieur. I was a little confused on what should I choose.

You will get more satisfaction by shooting incredible normal shots than average shots over a wide range.

Thanks for that was a real eye-opener .

Have decided to go with the Nikkor as of now. Save up and then buy a Tokina.

@ rjstyles69, congratulations on your new camera.

@ Hellcat, sorry I couldn't give you that information in time. I'm pretty badly stuck with my work.

@ gkrishn, long time no see and I'm to blame for that.

If possible, let's catch up soon. May be this weekend. What say guys?

[Rudra Sen]

Weeks of inhaling paint may have something to do with it than old age. I thought he told you about a new camera purchase offline. No, here he is discussing what lens to purchase.

@jesal: What model of Sony do you have in mind?


@gkrishn: "I guess thats a with bill and w/o bill difference. Ask RK how much it is w/o bill... may be the price will come down there also."

The rates quoted by RK for a Sigma 10-20MM was 31K and Canon 10-22MM for 38K without B/W.

The same Sigma lens without B/W was offered at 20K+ from Photo circle.
I feel RK is a total rip off in certain products they sells. (this is entirely my opinion).

Will take your word. I have never brought any thing from either of them.

Hi Samurai,

It's nice to see another Olympus guy in this Canikon world!
My E-500 came with 17.5-45mm and 40-150mm lens.
I love the olympus colors. One thing that worries me is i don't see any action / wildlife photographer using an Olympus. :(

What lenses have you got for your E-500? Did you get / planning to get any lens other than the kit lens?

Wow, you are the first E-500 owner I know from India. Great, we gotta meet.

This is the gear I have:
Olympus 14-54mm F/2.8-3.5 Zuiko ED
Olympus 50-200mm F/2.8-3.5 Zuiko Digital Zoon Lens
Olympus 40-150mm F/3.5-4.5 Zuiko Digital Zoom Lens
Olympus Zuiko 50mm f/2.0 E-ED Digital Macro Lens
Olympus Zuiko EC-14, 1.4x E-ED Digital Tele Converter
Olympus EX-25, 1:1 Macro Extension Tube
Manfrotto 190DB tripod with 486RC2/141RC head

I have retired the 40-150mm after upgrading to 50-200mm.

BTW, I have been eyeing this recently:

Sigma 135-400mm f/4.5-5.6 DG and the new E-P1 or E3 or whatever it is called.

Rudra I was enquiring on picking up a new lens .

We sure can catch up this weekend. I see a t-bhp meet is also around the corner. Why not use that and you pass on some lessons to newbie's like me.
What say?

Sanjay hows the new 50mm lens ?

[Torqy]

Samurai,

I just fainted reading your gear list.

I'd been eying the 14-54 and 50-200 for sometime because of the f2.8..but can't afford it right now. How's the focusing speed of 50-200? I heard the new version comes with Supersonic Wave Drive and it's faster.

I'd love to see the picures you've shot.

Riju the EF 50mm f/1.8 II is one of the smallest, lightest and least expensive low-light combinations available from Canon.

Right now I am just having fun with it, I am really surprised with the quality of sharpness this lens provides.

And bro let me know if you are going shopping for your lens this weekend.
