My New Camera Canon 30D

Postby a1 » Sun Dec 21, 2008 12:49 am

I just bought the Canon 30D with the Quantaray autofocus 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 lens.

I will buy a macro lens in the future as my goal for now is to take macro shots.

Any thoughts?

Congrats on the camera, should be a joy to use! But I've never heared of Quantaray lenses...

Personally I'd go for a Canon, Sigma or Tamron macrolens later on, they almost all get very good reviews...

Don't forget to share some of your shots with us...  ;)

Macro shooting always turns out some very interesting shots, looking forward to seeing what you can come up with!!!  Really brings out the artistic sector of photography

I would love to get a DSLR camera, but there are too many to choose from
