I couldn't resist... it's not a white monster, it's a black beauty... Wink

Now all the grey should disappear outside, so I can take it out for a test-drive.

Let's hope I can give you all some photographic joy during the next year...

Cheers,

Omag

Good on you Kris.

Hope you have better luck with your Sigma than I did. Wink

Woops!

Well, at least it won't be rubbish as I'd feared it could be then. Wink

I especially upgraded my budget after the reviews and owners opinions I consulted. It's about twice the price of the Sigma and has IS. Optical speaking, because of the UD-glass, some people call this a hidden L-lens ( it's supposed to follow the sharpness of the 70 - 200 L f4). But I'm a bit sceptic about that. All in all, I think that this is the best I can buy with the budget I had to spend.

It's the Canon EF 70 - 300 mm IS USM

I hope you make a bit more than what I gave for this lens ( € 470 minus a € 60 cash-back from Canon)

I found it about € 200 cheaper than in most stores, but I had to drive a while to collect it. In that area 2 big shops compete with each other, and about half Belgium goes there to buy photo-stuff.

It's the white ones or those tagged L that really hit your wallet hard.

Not bad but with Gas and other things I cant afford that lol I only work 60 hours at max in 2 weeks, usually its less and I'm only being paid $7 an hour. I love the job though Grin
