[at-l] Slides
Hi James, me again, thanks again for the info on the Zing case, I did buy
one and really like it.
If you don't mind I would like to pick your brain for some suggestions on
lenses. The one I bought with my Rebel 2000 is the Sigma Zoom 28-105
1:3.8-5.6 UC-III. I like the lens, but on a recent outing I found its
limitations as far as distance, that what I saw in the view finder and what
developed where two different things. I was shooting 3 hikers on the
approach trail leaving the shelter, in hopes of sending them a copy via
e-mail as pre-arranged, when I got the slides and CD back they where so
small in the frame that it was not worth sending it to them. The focal
length was at its max, the distance to the subject was about 200 yards, so
my question is what lens would you recommend to bring them in? I have been
looking at the Sigma 100-300 mm, would this do it or should I just invest
in 2X multiplier, if such thing is available for AF type lenses? I am sure
you noticed that I have referred to Sigma which tells you what price range
I am in so please keep this in mind with your answer, also I might add that
I am just getting back into 35 mm SLR cameras after many years of absence,
using mostly 35 mm point and shoots so I am a little foggy on all of it.
One more question if you don't mind, what lenses do you carry when
backpacking, say for a 4 to 7 day trip?
Thanks in advance for you time,
Doug
