That's assuming that Argos don't fob me off with a display model like they tried to with my camera.

No VR?
f/4-5.6
Not aperture much range there... but the price is reasonable.
VR costs munneh.
That looks like a decent lens.Quote:

And do not buy SIGMA. I bought one and am now regretting the purchase.
:wave:
You need a 300-800mm lens, perfect for stalking...
What does Voice Recognition (VR) have to do with cameras?
I end up having to steady it against something anyway. I carry a piece of cloth with me to insert between the camera body and, say, a tree trunk to prevent scratches if I can't use a tripod.Quote:

Oooooh it's good. It's damn good.
In fact it's so good you can even look through the viewfinder and still use stereoscopic vision (if you're zoomed the correct amount). At 32 yards (for my eyes) 75mm focal length gives me a 1:1 left eye:right eye correspondence. That's very handy for shooting moving objects like birds and ice-cream vans.
VR is for pussies that can't hold a camera still (or level for that matter).
It's a good lens for the price. Oh my, yes.
It's not my fault I have one leg shorter than the other.Quote:

That's a variable maximum aperture: f/4 at 55mm, f/5.6 at 200mm.Quote:
