[QUOTE="Photowyzard, post: 73246, member: 8344"] As long as you understand that the quality of the image is not stellar and the images will require some PP work after, this is a viable option. I would recommend going to a store first and trying one out. Most stores will let you hook a lens up to your camera to takes some test shots. You can then go home and analyze them. If you can, I would test one out first to see what you are up against. I can't stress enough (I am very experienced with this lens), they are not easy to focus, not recommended to hand hold and the results are not as crisp as a prime lens. They are not for everyone, nor are they for every situation. For best results: 1) Static objects 2) Day time, bright light situations 3) Tripod use 4) Live View or Electronic Range Finder in camera highly recommended 5) where possible, use a remote to trigger the shutter [/QUOTE]
