Not at all. Seemed to tick all the boxes and fall within budget (few floating about second hand at reasonable proces). Would love a Canon 70-200 2.8 L, but dear god that's a pricey one! I'd also like to buy quality glass first time around. I am at a stage where although I am still very much a...
Just Flickr'd. Some really great shots. Loving the gravel tossed up by the Focus and Subaru!! Hope you don't mind me sharing but this at full size is just fantastic!!

Thanks for the input everyone. So the macro is a contender as doing a bit of both... (Read up on it tonight and some say it's fine to shoot telephoto, others say Macro/Telephoto is chalk and cheese).
Still torn, the F4L looks like a decent bit of kit but the non IS is putting me off slightly.
Can anyone shed some light on this? I thought macro just meant it was capable of focusing at a shorter distance (typically <.80m) or am I wrong on that?
If that's the case is it no good whatsoever for telephoto use?
Two variations....

And debating a last minute bid on this... Bargain but not enough time to get any details on it...
I'd like to start shooting sports and also have a bit more range for day to day use. Regularly go out and take the camera but find I cant get sharp images at any considerable distance (balloons, moon, wildlife, etc...). Just starting to get into photography a bit more seriously and my last...
Looks like a great portrait/wedding lens, but I still think I may lack reach over the other two...
Constantly changing lenses is hassle lol but I do appreciate the function that primes serve for low cost high aperture, exactly why I love my fifty so much!
I need to extend my range and have come up with 3 strong contenders at various prices.
Currently shooting with a 450D but have nothing over 50mm which I find quite limiting.
1. Canon 70-200 F4.0 L (the non IS one)
2. Sigma 70-200 F2.8 APO EX DG - My head says go with this one, not sure I'll...
Re: PB and perhaps fastest lap of the Nurburgring in a Clio 2 RS on youtube - 8:38 BT
First up what a fantastically clear empty day. I don't think I've ever seen it so empty.
Secondly, bar the occasional mishap that you have highlighted, that is also one of the cleanest laps I have ever...
50th gear YO! :rasp:
Sorry, should have said with regards to day to day driving. I'm obviously aware it's no slouch sat with your foot poised over the go pedal at 75 hanging on in 3rd, but it was never made for motorways. Despite that, I still love every minute behind the wheel.
I do believe this is how I would experience the above car
....................... wait a minute....................... hang on.............................. BOOOOOOOOSSSTTTT OMFGGG!!!....... Hello wall.
Nice to see it's not just me munching up the miles... Some people seriously pile them on!!
Yeah. If you drive it a lot on the motorway you realise it really isn't it's natural home. I do 1000 miles a month up and down the m25/m4 corridor, whilst it is perfectly capable, I find the way I drive...
I'll chuck a couple up, would obviously have to check with Rob and Adam that they were happy to have their car used...

Out of curiosity... Hope this hasn't been done before (mods feel free to lock and redirect if so), I know there are countless MPG threads etc...
In my opinion the 182 is a pretty nice place to be for motorway journeys, decent pick up despite being a bit gutless top end and I don't get out...
So I've heard!! Undoubtedly very capable but apparently a bit gutless at motorway speeds in comparison to the VXT... Still if I cant get the 2000 a vx is a very worthy second choice.
