yeh i saw the price of the 2.8 IS, but didnt think you would even consider it.

soo, sigma now, eh? lets hope you get some ncie shots with it

Ryan^p · 25th June 2009, 13:03

300 2.8 IS L fastest AF of any canon lens when on a 1D body + with TCs works very very well.

F4 = Fail

Id saved enough to buy a IS L, but want to try the cheaper sigma first to see if i can get away without IS and thus save a few grand

Viper · 25th June 2009, 13:10

makes sens.

i couldnt do without IS. lol

oh, and that 2.8 IS 70-200.. my mate bought it

Ryan^p · 25th June 2009, 13:45

I saw, was a bargain.

You do know that higher shutter speeds the requirments on IS are less?

Viper · 25th June 2009, 13:50

re-write that last part in english

Ryan^p · 25th June 2009, 14:09

It is, you are just thick

Viper · 25th June 2009, 14:28

i may well be thick, but the sentence doesnt make sense. lol

go read a book on grammar

Ryan^p · 25th June 2009, 14:32

higher shutter = less need for IS

its clear dumbass

Viper · 25th June 2009, 14:36

you should have said it like that in the first place you tool.

and yeah, i knew that... but when ive tired shooting motorsports without IS, i dont get the results i do with IS. so IS ftw

shooting with a monopod reduces camera shake (although can get some vibrations)

DaveG gets on perfectly fine with both his non IS siggys for motorsport. Its in the technique. Soething I need to re learn myself as not shot motorsports for well over a year really.

Viper · 25th June 2009, 14:39

i suppose it depends what shot you do.

i cant imagine panning without IS. lol fair enough for something where i dont have to show motion in the wheels, but most of the time, thats what i like to do

How often are you panning at 600mm tom? lol.

For sports generally im about 1/640 + at least sometimes 1/1250.

70-200 = panning

Viper · 25th June 2009, 15:05

fair point!

hadnt thought that its for sports, even though you've already told me

and yes 70-200 for panning.. thats why i want one

Ryan^p · 25th June 2009, 15:12

you fool... Not everyone buys lenses for motorsports *shocking I know cameras get used away from race tracks*

Viper · 25th June 2009, 15:30

i know that you cock. lol

jaybiss · 25th June 2009, 17:02

Nope its royally fucked, I suspect a motor has gone or something. Shit luck.

Viper · 25th June 2009, 23:01

any ideas of the cost of fixing?

might be an idea to hire a lens for the event you needed it for?

Ryan^p · 25th June 2009, 23:06

reason i bought the sigma was because its just under £200 to hire the 300 2.8 IS L.

So imo not worth renting.

I expect gonna cost 100+ to fix. Just shit luck it worked when I bought it so dont think the dude selling it was selling something duff.
