[QUOTE="Chatterstatic, post: 352703, member: 31203"] Thanks for the answers guys... I had been considering the better stabilised 70-300, my reasoning for the 55-300 was more all round use but yes to do some macro combined with extensions I had read that more often than not folk get shot "pardon the pun" of 55-200's in favour of the extra reach of 55-300 or 70-300. The Non Macro lens thread is a testament to what can be achieved with a bit of working around. One of my main issues is I have never tried any of the other lenses and on a recent trip to a store "Large Chain" I asked if the display model could be put on a camera for me just to see it in action got a response of not a chance. So I'm looking for a smaller shop that might be sales orientated. I have no real idea of how close a proper macro lens like the Sigma 105 will let me get it would be nice to try one out. I'd like to rent one not sure if anywhere does that at a reasonable rate here in France [/QUOTE]
