How are you finding the lens Jay?
Where did you pick up them both? How much was the grip?

so far the lens is wicked but ive only been playing with it around the house. the af is very quick, slightly noisy but thats not a problem imo
i got the grip for 70 quid off a shop on ebay.

I'd be worried if it's soft at the edges mate... you're on a cropped sensor. It should be fineeee

Has it got internal auto focus?
Is it worth the £££?

Mark - the kit lens is mine I'm afraid. Bought a 1000d body on Saturday morning courtesy of Daddy's credit card. I'm so going to try to pay it back super quick since this is a loan my Dad actually knows about lol
Jamie - if I even see one pic here or anywhere else of the stuff you ordered for me once it's delivered then prepare for me to kick you in the nuts because I will end up wanting it before Friday and I will sulk . Oh and the battery grip I said was gay and geeky... I want one! There's lots I want to order but I have that much stuff I need or want to buy I will have to sort a priority list lol
Can't wait to get my camera. There must be 100s of tigers in zoo's in the UK that I can go take pictures of lol
