Re: Lens Advice

Thank you for all the suggestions so far. I'd got the impression that the AF on the 60 was pretty slow, and the bokeh was fairly unimpressive (at least compared to the 56). I'll check it out more carefully.

The 50-140 is short for wildlife and too big for macro, even more with the extension tubes.

Thanks for clarifying this. I'd originally envisioned it as a do-it-all lens, but it really is a bit short for wildlife. I'll look into renting the 100-400 if I go on any serious trips.

I would suggest you get the 60...

With the money from the 50-140, you can buy the 60mm 2.4 macro...

Have u considered the 50 mm F2?

I've read a lot of very positive reviews about the 56 and the 80, but none of you seem particularly keen to suggest them. Is there something I'm missing? Some of the test photos I took in the shop on the 80 really blew me away, and I guess I was sort of hoping to purchase one (or more) of the more expensive lenses during the rebate period.

If you can, rent before committing.

I'm aware this is great advice, but I'm not sure I have the time.

Thanks again.
