Heya everyone, have just bought my very first dslr (Canon 30d.) Been using my Dad's 400d + Kit Lens and reading everything I can. Feel like i've got a reasonable grasp of the settings on the camera (I can consistently take a well exposed shot on manual and get the effect i want,) but obviously I am still learning rapidly.
looking for a walkabout lens, done some searching and I am leaning to a Tamron 17-50 2.8, really like the constant aperture for low light, focal. Also have access to my dad's 70mm-200mm to borrow on occasion if needed.
Bit more info on my tastes, I like to shoot landscapes, architecture, travel, candids, portraiture and panoramics. Also like taking pictures at the odd friends wedding.
Does anyone know where the best reputable place to get a good price for the Tamron 17-50 2.8? Not adverse to buying second hand either. Of course if there is an alternative lens I have completely missed please let me know?
Two other newb questions.
What do people think about Flash cards? Do branded/expensive faster cards make any difference?
Also looking for a rucksack, camera/laptop combo bag? Both the Kata 467 LowePro Fastpack 250 seem to get good reviews. Anyone got a recommendation? or know where to get a good price on the kata, cant find better than £65?
Thanks Guys.
