This is my kit Lamb mate: http://www.djaphoto.co.uk/about.html
I reckon there is a price tag of around Ł700 in all, with spare batteries and memory cards etc![Grin](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Have a nice trip to the ring and show us the results when you get back..
tip: try panning with slow shutterspeed... around 1/30 sec.. makes a nice effect,, but needs practise

@ Stu:
Maybe not really relevant as I live in Holland, but my kit is insured for 5000,- and it costs me 160,- /year insurance all risc.
My current kit:
Body:
Canon EOS 30d
Lenses:
Canon EF 24-70 F2.8 L
Canon EF 70-200 F2.8 L
Canon extender EF 1.4x II
Misc:
3x 1GB; 2x 512MB CF cards
HOYA polar filter
HOYA UV filters
Manfrotto monopod
Canon Bag
Currently saving up for a Speedlight 430 EX (and a ex.manifold with external wastegate for the cossie LOL)
Whats you're opinion on the 430 EX?
@cbp:
I have the 70-200 f2.8 and it's really worth the extra money over the f4 when u try to take pictures of rally cars in bad weather !!
Although the f4 is good enough most of the time.
@ Lambchop:
Let's say the tamron's are mid-range quality for low-range prices, so good value for money
Still, if you can stretch you're budget, the Canon EF 70-200 F4 L is the best value for money there is

This is a great thread, and Ive learnt a lot since reading.
Ive been wanting to upgrade from 35mm film to digital for some time now. The camera body Im thinking of getting is the Canon 5D. I like the idea of the bigger CCD.
Lenses that Ill probably get are the 70-200mm f2.8L IS USM and the 24-70mm f2.8L USM.
Any comments on the above?
Thanks
John

Have to agree, yes the kit will provide you with the technology to take brilliant pics, but that's less than half the job, it's down to the photographer to use it correctly and learn how to get the results
![Smokin](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_smokin.gif)
Takes time and patience, but it's a helluvalot of fun learning

Has anyone seen the new 1ds MkIII, 10fps with image preview on DSLR! The ideal camera for action photography.

![Wink](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
I might be keen to buy something silly like the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 USM L IS if my dad's gonna go halfers!

Danja - long time no speak ol fella. Hope all is well? Your right, these L class lenses cost a mortgage and a half! ![Top](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/smile011.gif)
Chopper - nice to see you entering the photography domain. Stick with Canon or Nikon and you will not go wrong. Oh and get the 70-200 L, quality lens!

Baffling stuff
For a n00b to all this, what products would be a good start up package, but i fancy a dslr as from what i can gather they are at the better end of the scale.
Budget - Not mega, but then again i dont want Netto either

For a nice entry level DSLR, check the Canon 350d kit. The Nikon D40 is supposed to be a nice camera too (although I don't know much about Nikon)

PM me a price if you wish but if someone comes to have a look then thats no prob
![Grin](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
I went to Jessop's and am 99.9% sure i'll have the 350d
![Smokin](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_smokin.gif)
I had a look at the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 USM L IS and its a nice piece of kit
![Top](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/smile011.gif)
Mate leant me his digitalSLR photography magazine and jessops are price matching so that lens can be had for Ł450 but thats a fucking lot of money
![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)
![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)
2 lenses i saw in the shop, Tamron 55-200mm F which can be had for Ł99.99 when bought with the camera.
Other 1 i liked was the Sigma 28-300 F3.5-6.3 for Ł229.99
I'm off to google them now!
I dont think i'm going to go for a zoom up to 300mm as dont think i'll need it. Looking through the magazine it tells you which lenses were used and more are 17-40mm or 18-55mm!
Can anyone recommend a decent camera bag for body+2 lenses that isnt too massive?
#152
![Default](https://passionford.com/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Bump.
I need help choosing the correct zoom lens to go with my impending purchase of a 350D!
Can anyone advise on either of these, Christian perhaps?!
Canon 75-300mm F4-5.6 111 USM
Canon 55-200mm F4.5/5.6 11 USM
I know they arent exactly pro lenses but will they be ok for a newbie like myself?
Does anyone use a monopod? I fancy one of those and seem far better an idea than lugging about a tripod!
I need help choosing the correct zoom lens to go with my impending purchase of a 350D!
Can anyone advise on either of these, Christian perhaps?!

Is it any good though? Can you recommend anything similar for me? Something like 55-200, 70-300, 28-200 etc. Budget Up to Ł300 if necessary but was looking at the above for Ł150. Or is the above lens suitable enough for a newbie?

Gutted i was so busy today as i didnt get chance to do sod all with my new gear in teh sunshine, and it had all arrived by 10am. ![Sad](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
I did manage to mess about with the dog in teh back garden at home though but it was getting dark. All seems to work well, i just need to get out to a decent location now and get some shots...
Heres a few random ones i took tonight.
