Lens on ebucks - wide angle choice?

[bwana]

24mm on a crop sensor is too wide for my taste.

weren't you suggesting the 15-85, which would actually be wider than the 24-105 on a crop sensor?

I meant too long. Just testing you...

So in short, the focal length is the more important variable for me when choosing a everyday lens, with the wide side more important than the long side.

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.

Why would anyone want a Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM if they have the 70-200 F2.8?
Surely an addition of the 2x TC III would suffice - giving a 140-400mm F5.6 thoughout the range?

This is a good read.

Did I pass?

I think my wide angle lens is the least used of all my lenses. My old kit lens probably sees more use!

As usual you were as sharp as your pics.

Urgh.

I placed my order for the 28mm F2.8 on the 23 April - and they cancelled it yesterday due to no stock. I phoned them and they're can do that with anything - and there is no way of checking stock before, other than placing and waiting to see if they cancel it in a week. Stupid system :/

*sigh*

 

[hilton]

So no back order system? You paid right? Why aren't you going for the f/1.8?

 

[Dolby]

They only had those 3 lens choices which indicated 'stock' and a price through Kalahari. The 1.8 wasn't listed through Kalahari - but I would've chosen that.

I paid with my ebucks which they credit me within 72 hours - but then I have to place an order for another, which may be rejected as well.

EDIT : Makro has next to nothing as well - so I need to check the used in ODP and try make the same deal we made

UPDATE :

Kalahari phoned me on Thursday to say they had stock and rather getting happy, I decided to wait until I had it in my hands. Today I received my 28mm F2.8

 

[hilton]

So where are the photos?

Congrats!

I received it about 10 minutes before posting

I'm staring at the box. Feels quite study actually ... got a metal ring as opposed the plastic!
