Well the kids are getting older and i'm now wanting to get back to the wonderfull world of photography. Got myself a lovely 50D and I have loads of questions to ask. I am not new to the social activity, in the ninties using a medium format camera I gained the title of Amatuer Photographer of the Year through AP magazine, specialising in Night photography I have a wealth of knowledge on that area of photography to pass on to those who find it interesting.
On a limited budget I opted to re-enter the scene with the Canon 50D with the standard zoom and an 75-300 EF, The reason being a planned trip to Kenya later in the year. Though I really like lens I now realise it might not yeald the optimum results I desire. New to the Canon system I thought a 2x extender would help, and yes, as all you Canon experts are already aware it did not fit! So my current dilema is sell the extender of invest in the 70-200 L series lens. As it would be the f4 lens without IS I need to know if the combination works, the alternative could be a Sima 50-500 HSM or perhaps forget the telephoto route and go for the 100mm f2.8 macro. So lots of questions so now to find some answers...
